Family Guy - Season 10

Several seasons in, and the supreme animated comedy Family Guy continues to thrive. Furthermore, it’s a collection of episodes here that addresses the common complaint that shows of such endurance aren’t capable of hitting the heights any more. Because Family Guy certainly can.

You get 16 episodes for your money in the Family Guy Season 10 boxset, and there’s a strong leaning towards satiating the fans who have stuck with the show to date. That doesn’t mean that there’s no room for outsiders, as Family Guy is constantly accessible. Just that you’ll get extra goodness out of an episode such as Brian And Stewie, the 150th of the show, if you’ve watched most of it to date.

Even if you haven’t, though, Family Guy remains a masterclass in strong comedy writing. It’s genuinely laugh out loud funny, and the episodes are rich in rewatch value. The only downside is the slight muddle in the way the box sets are compiled, as this set actually pulls together episodes from across more than one season. Yet they’ve not been released on DVD in the UK before, so on the plus side, you’re not buying the same Family Guy instalments twice. Spend your money, therefore, with peace of mind.--Jon Foster
