AMERICAN DAD/FAMILY GUY (FOX) - To help promote Seth MacFarlane's latest animated effort, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment plans to release "Family Guy: The Freakin' Sweet Collection" on December 14. The single-disc set will feature five of MacFarlane's favorite episodes from the show's second and third seasons, including the original, uncensored version of "Road to Rhode Island" with optional commentary by the cast and crew. Also included will be interviews with MacFarlane about both "American Dad," which premieres on Sunday nights this January on FOX, and the upcoming fourth season of "Family Guy." The release features an MSRP of $19.99.
Not much except the original version of Road To Rhode Island. :shrug:

Yeah, I saw this on amazon.com and was a bit confused, as there wasn't a description available. But I see, this is basically a Best-Of set.

Eh, I'm not going to buy it, simply because I already have Family Guy Seasons 1-3, and I have the deleted Road to Rhode Island scene on my computer anyway.

One quick question: Will the interviews include CLIPS from the 4th season of Family Guy? Because that might spark a little curiosity.

I'll buy this just for the Brian and Stewie commentary on ROAD TO RHODE ISLAND. That should be a riot! :D

We told you yesterday that Family Guy - The Freakin' Sweet Collection: The Best of the Family Guy is coming to DVD on 12/14/2004. Now Fox Home Entertainment has sent over the details of this release. You'll find that this disc, as we said, comes with 5 episodes and some extras, and has an SRP in the USA of $19.98, and a CAN$25.98 SRP in Canada. Here's the Fox synopsis:

Get ready for five deliciously absurd chapters in the lives of America's most twisted animated family! These are the hand-picked, hands-down favorite episodes of Seth MacFarlane, the delightfully demented genius behind "Family Guy". He'll also treat you to an inside look at the long-awaited return of the series, as well as his newest TV brainchild, "American Dad." What a guy. What a family. What a "Family Guy" treat!

I think I'm gonna get this, just for the new stuff, and uncut ep. Although I've seen a little bit of American Dad, I hope this has more.

[Harlan_Phoenix]

REALLY sorry to double post, but is this commentary new, or from the other DVDs?

Two of the commentaries are new, the others are uncut versions of the ones that were edited by FOX on the first set.

[MrBananagrabber]

The commentaries are enticing, but I think I'd rather rent this than buy it. Unless I can find it for like, $10.

[Harlan_Phoenix]

Two of the commentaries are new, the others are uncut versions of the ones that were edited by FOX on the first set.
Since I don't have the first FG DVD set, this is good news. Just can't wait for that American Dad goodness! Hopefully there's more of the pilot than what I've already seen.

[Chad Bonin]

Is the whole deal of "Road to Rhode Island" about that Osama joke?

[G1Ravage]

I will buy it.

[Yash]

I bet the American Dad preview is just the pilot that was on the net a few months back :shrug:

Also, aren't these the same episodes as the Best of Family Guy thing AS had? If so, the Seth clips would be nice.

I think the commentary is new, don't know if they'll include the uncut version of the relationship video gag.

[Carolina Red]

I already own the two volumes on DVD, I don't think it'll be anything of concern for me unless it was really cheap.

[Moridin]

I think the commentary is new, don't know if they'll include the uncut version of the relationship video gag.Something was cut from the DVD and AS versions?

[ngrossm]

Something was cut from the DVD and AS versions?
The relationship video had a longer version with nudity. It was never intended to air. You can look around and find the clip online.
