I've never been a fan of Family Guy, but I'll watch it from time to time, mostly because it's on and nothing else of interest is. This happens any time Letterman's a repeat. I occasionally find episodes or individual bits funny. The non-sequitur gags the show is rabidly loved and derided for makes up this "spare idea drawer" project.

Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy is a youTube-hosted series first sponsored by Burger King and now Priceline.com. Getting through the whole first "season" took a great deal of patience and elicited a lot of groaning from me during its 54-minute runtime. The clips are fully uncensored on disc, whereas the first 12 eps weren't originally.

Extras are limited to a Red Carpet Premiere [HD 4:21] and a set of progressive Still Galleries that show the process from rough to finished models. There's a promo sticker on the package that gives you a free iTunes download of the first episodes of Futurama, Family Guy, and American Dad. If you love Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane, you'll love this. If you don't, you are going to hate this with every fiber of your being. If you're like me, you'll likely forget you watched it the day after.

Features are the same on DVD & Blu-ray, the only difference is picture and audio resolution.
