4 episodes in a row. Plots look great.

I say outlook doesnt look good. I think they are dumping the new episodes to air 2 hour blocks of Temptation Island during sweeps or some other BS.

And they sure picked a great week to do it..... I believe they're running it up against the Survivor III finale

Geofferson

Thanks for the heads-up.

SirPablo

I heard Family Guy is not being picked-up for next year, is this true???? If so...

SUKEKEKEKEKEKE!!!!!!

But I'll definetly watch 2 hrs of quality programming.

mmconhea

could this mean that Fox knows that Family guy is its best bet against survivor or does this mean Fox gives up that night and throws FG out there to die like dogs?

wildcatlh

Unfortunately, I'd guess the latter. FOX has done almost everything they can to kill this show.

mmconhea

If they end up replacing this show with "That 80's Show" I will shoot myself.

jpcamb

Has this show just not been on the last few weeks or did they move it again? @ fox.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the cartoon network will pick it up if they drop it...

jpcamb

Just noticed the front Page of DVDtalk lists the [bold] "Family Guy Season One" [/bold] on DVD, the bad news is its only region 2 compatable so if your like me without a region free player your SOL.

good news for the others though...

mmconhea

!!!!!! Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a relatively cheap player so I can play this DVD?

thecrazydude

Man, i would love to have a region one box set of the family guy.

tygloalex

Isn't there a way to download them off the net, or would that be illegal?

codefree

Yup, I just ordered Season 1 yesterday.

bv3

None of those are new episodes. They are all from season 2. http://epguides.com/FamilyGuy/

mmconhea

kazaa has some

tygloalex

mIrc has all of them. And I'm pretty sure it's not illegal. If it is, delete this post, Moderator-man.

You should search the International forum (or restate your question there). What you are looking for is a region-free player that can convert PAL to NTSC. There are several that can do this (including the popular APEX 600A). I think you can probably get an inexpensive model to do this for you for ~$100.

Here's the link to the DVD set at Amazon.uk:

(I don't have it yet... it's not going to ship for a couple of weeks, because I have it in the same order as the FUTURAMA SEASON 1 box.)

mmconhea

I ran out and bought the apex 3602 (or soemthing) and so did my brother. we've both got that DVD on order from PokerIndustires.

I can't wait!

Yet another reason why we sometimes get screwed in the US. The thing that sucks even more about it, they are all shows that came from the US.

Lets see.. of the shows I watch and would love on DVD, they are all out in region 2, in nice season boxsets no less.

Friends, Buffy, Angel, Futurama, Family Guy.

*sigh*

at least we are getting Season 1 of Buffy in a week.

Once you get it, you should check out the list of titles that are only available in other regions:

http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=150365

Some people find more of interest than others. I don't have a ton of titles from other regions, but there are definitely a good dozen or so in my collection (Dune Extended Version, Day of the Triffids, Knight Rider, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Tripods, etc.)
