Looks like Amazon.com already has Vol. 2 of Family Guy up for preorder. It has a ship date of Sept. 9.

Family Guy Vol. 2

Can't wait to watch Vol. 1 this weekend.

why couldn't they fit it all in one set? 50 episodes could fit on 6 or 7 discs with ease. other shows are getting complete series, no reason this one couldn't have.

from my understanding, volume 1 was season 1 and 2, leaving season 3 for volume 2, but didn't season 3 have less than 15 episodes? seems like a huge mistake in the planning if this is the case.

According to Epguides.com, there were 22 episodes in season 3.

I'd imagine that getting people to pay $40 for two sets in five months is easier than getting people to pay $80 all at once for one set.

Well think of it... 50 episodes IS a lot for a set. Besides, it's not odd that seasons 1 and 2 were placed together in one set, will season 3 is going to be a set all of its own. Season 1 only had 7 episodes so they made up by throwing season 2 on there, having 28 episodes. Season 3 only officially had 21 episodes...22 if you count the unreleased 'Weinstein' episode. (Yes I know there is some debate as to weather it was for season 2 or 3). So this way it's pretty close to a half n' half kinda deal. I'm just thankful that it IS coming out and that the date is ALREADY set to have it released. I'm glad its not a 'lets see if the first set sells well, and then release the other set'. I won't get tired of watching these 28 episodes ever, so September is more than soon enough

DOes anyone know if vol 2 will have the Weinstein episode or the some other deleted scenes???

Cornholio

i heard it wont have the weinstien episode

Lono

Bingo!

It will have both... now if we could only talk Fox into including the Osama Bin Laden scene in the deleted scenes... that would be cool.

It will not have that ep and will be missing a scene (the Bin Laden one). The UK version has the Weinstien ep but no Bin Laden scene. I downloaded from the net both the Weinstien ep AND the ep with the Bin Laden scene in all its glory (and a damn funny scene it is)! Once again piracy triumphs over stubborn studios that censor DVDs and want you to pay them $$$$. Pathetic!

In this case, it wasn't the studios that edited the scene. Word is that Seth McFarlane was supposed to be on one of the planes that crashed into the WTC, but missed it for one reason or another and decided that the joke was no longer funny, and felt better about cutting it out.

Spy021

Can you comment on who/where you heard this from? I was under the impression that it would in fact contain this episode?

Lono

While I don't imagine that we will ever get to see the Bin Laden scene on DVD (even if Seth wasn't supposed to be on one of the planes, sounds like an internet rumor to me) here in region 1. I can absolutely say that the "Weinstein" Episode will be on the second set... along with lots of deleted scenes.

Jackskeleton

The Bin Laden scene was taken out by the creators wises. How is this censorship? please use the word correctly. Further more, the osma scene in itself wasn't all that funny even before 9/11..

Jackskeleton

Other shows are actually getting SEASON sets. be thankful season 1 and 2 are on one set. Asking someone to buy 50 episodes is a bit way to much and besides, studios are also trying to make a profit off this. Deal with it.

RichC2

Actually it's quite the contrary.

From Interview with Seth MacFarlane on TvShowsonDVD.com


Apparently Fox Execs decided to cut the Osama scene, not Seth. Oh, and the commentary was edited. And IMHO - the video problems on this set are seriously blown out of proportion.
