Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest

Great TV series!
I've been collecting TV series. I had been collecting the Family Guy seasons. I noticed that some of the episodes were not included in the Complete Series products. After doing some research some of the longer episodes were sold independently. This Bluray completed my Family Guy collection.Amazon does a good job with rapid delivery. Just be sure to buy prime or from prime sources, and check to be sure you have the right Region for your area. Otherwise, you may get duplicates.

The Friggin' Sweet Wars
The Good Things*Very hilarious parodies of "Star Wars" and other stuff (also expect parodies of "Vacation," "Airplane," "Breakfast Club," and others). For "Star Wars" in particular, the show emulates most of the movie almost exactly, before breaking into the humor.*Some very good original jokes too.*Some funny inside jokes.*Very good animation quality.The Bad Things*Ummmmm....The Questionable Things*Some bad language and crude humor. Not reccomended for most kids or families.*Not sure why this is called "Blue Harvest." Is it because Luke likes blue milk, or what?I'm not really a "Family Guy" fan, but I still enjoyed this. It's a good, funny, short feature that made me laugh pretty good. Highly reccomended for anybody who enjoys trashing "Star Wars."DVD has good video and sound quality. It is in a fullscreen format. It includes a great number of special features, including an animatic version of the show, some interviews and featurettes, and commentaries.If this review has not been helpful, feel free to leave a comment, so I can improve.

Family guy blue harvest Speacial edition.
I bought my version from "Obscured by sounds". It arrived in new un-opened condition still factory sealed. I got everything as described in the speacial edition version at a GREAT price. for those of you that don't know, Incuded:-Blue harvest DVD-Digital copy disc.-12 Family guy cards with 3-D image on back of them.-20pg. artbook.-Blue and red 3-D glasses.-Family guy blue harvest XL teashirt. EPIC.-And last is the dvd case it came in.All this comes in a DVD case about 5 DVD cases wide! I am extremely satisfied with this product and can't think of any way they could have made a better offer. The Teashirt alone is worth what I paid for it. A Amazing deal for only 13$ + S&H (6$ish). To me the DVD was just a bonus. It worked perfectly as well. Hope this review will help future buyers. I strongly recommend this collection. For all us family guy viewers out there. This is one not to miss out on.

Epic Parody
Family Guy - Blue Harvest [the parody of Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope] is, in my opinion, the best of the Star Wars parodies that has originated from animated series in the past, such as Robot Chicken and Shin Chan.It follows the basic story line of A New Hope but makes a joke out of everything. As with all Family Guy episodes, generally there's bound to be a few jokes that hit or miss with different people, but definitely if you're a fan of Family Guy you should check this extended episode out. On top of being extended, the animation is superior to the regular episodesI don't want to spoil too much from this, so I'll just say it's really funny and you should definitely check it out. Had seen it on tv and just now bought it and really enjoy it.The dvd also comes packed with special features for people who enjoy interviews and whatnot.

Finally Available In Blu-ray Format...But Video Quality Could've Been Better
i've had the last two family guy "star wars" parodies on blu-ray for a while now but could never find "Blue Harvest" in blu-ray format except to purchase the trilogy set together, which i wasn't about to buy the last two again. finally Fox decided to release "Blue Harvest" as a standalone blu-ray. on to the review of the disc itself. i must agree with other reviewers that the video quality is not nearly as good as it should be. that being said having never owned it on DVD personally i'm glad i do finally own it just to complete the trilogy on Blu-ray. if you already own the DVD counterpart i wouldn't necessarily recommend replacing it on Blu-ray. if you don't already own it then i say sure fine, but in the end the choice is really yours to make.

Its a great DVD, but...
This DVD special edition was good, price-wise for the goodies that came with it. The picture and the quality of the art work is wonderful, almost like they actually scanned the original Star Wars movie (maybe they did...).But the story... they weren't too inventive, really. Basically copying the original story line. I had to buy this because I am a great fan of Star Wars and parody. But in terms of originality, I think Robot Chicken: Star Wars , which I bought at the same time from Amazon, was far more inventive and funny.One thing about both DVDs is that both the creators are called Seth, and if they could have kept the humor clean my young sons who are big Star Wars fans would have been able to watch it. I guess some writers think dirty is funny...Best part may be the excitement on the face of the exec producer when he is interviewing "The Checkered One", George Lucas!

a compliment to george lucas
Blue Harvest was a great addition to my Family Guy dvd collection.I have watched it more than any of my season dvds and I would recommend to a friend...and i did so when i bought it for my friend who will remain nameless at christmas he never stopped talking about the comedic sketches that are in this feature length episode.A treat for my friend and me.A classic addition to Family guy's vast empire.Great and worth buying!I believe everyone worked a bit harder at the studio in the US for this episode and I enjoyed that.So I bought Something Something Something Darkside (Blue Harvest 2) from Amazon and it was even better than the first.It is my friends favourite episode overall making it a pretty decent DVD.It is also his most watched DVD and it is cheap so this set is great value too.Coming soon "we have a bad feeling about this" (return of the jedi)

Simply Brilliant
This had me laughing the whole way through. I'm a star wars fan and hadn't watched family guy but a friend recommended this. Bought it, loved and bought the two sequels. I am now a family guy convert and watch it regularly.

Family Guy at its very best
I am a huge fan of Family Guy and also Robot Chicken too, both series have produced star wars parodies and Family Guy's offering is quite exceptional.The casting of Family Guy characters into famous Star War Roles like Stewie as Darth Vader, Lois as Princess Leia and Peter achingly funny as Han Solo in my view is sheer genius. Each scene from Episode IV of George Lucas's masterpiece is given a funny makeover and each joke just fits in so perfectly, everything from links to modern culture to a simple mickey-take which always gets a big laugh.The animation quality also is absolutely stunning, a huge leap compared to what you usually see from these people in the regular Family Guy series, but it is hard to notice that as you spend most of your time just laughing out loud at all the catchy gags.Overall i dont feel that it is as good as the Star Wars specials produced by Robot Chicken but that is not a bad thing, this is still excellent entertainment, I for one cannot wait for the next Star Wars offering out in December 09.

Seth Macfarlane.....Legend.
How does Seth Macfarlane continue to produce animated comedy of such epic proportions? He knocks one out of the park with this parody of Star Wars: A New Hope. I watched this 5 times on the day that it arrived and have watched it many times since. An absolute gem from the people who also made American Dad. Make sure you buy this dvd, along with the sequels that will soon be gracing our tv's, computer screens and dvd players. This is a must buy for any fans of comedy and anyone that doesn't take Star Wars too seriously, namely anyone at Comic Con. Enjoy!

Best of the 3 films by a long long way
You really only need to watch this one of the series of 3, the two follow-ups are lame and unimaginative. They put a lot of effort into this one. Awkward sideways humour throughout, it may not make you laugh uproariously but at least it has you thinking and reaslising there was a lot of strange logic in the original. The concept has been distilled down into a few running gags, like the orchestra, the discarded sofa, and the absurdity of the aesthetic design flaw in the death star.
