First I wonna mention that I bought this package for the golden box price (60 dollars). totally worth it since you have to pay at least $200 if you buy the discs separately, or $170 for the original package price (currently $144 on amazon). but still if you are a big fan of the show and haven't bought any volume yet, I recommend this item for you even with the current price (again $144).
Now here is what you should know before you buy the item (I didn't know these things until I got my package):
1) on the back of the package box, they mention that the set includes all of the 7 seasons !!! (absolutely wrong)
most of you know that Fox are still running new 7th seasons episodes of family guy weekly, so it is not on DVD yet. and even the second half of season 6 is not on DVD yet.
Now, on Amazon they do mention that it includes ONLY all the 6 volumes (the whole first 5 seasons and 7 episodes of season 6). and this is the right numbers.
I don't know how this "feature all 7 seasons of Family Guy" got into the back of the box. but the only explanation that I could think of is that these boxes were made for Region 2 packages. Because in Region 2 (Egypt, Europe, Japan, Libya, Saudi Arabia & South Africa) season 7 DVD set mean season 5 part B & season 6 part A). for more information about how they name the released DVD's of the Show around the glob visit wikipidia and search for "family guy dvd's"
So, don't get confused if you see that sentence on the back of you item box. this shouldn't really be a problem since you already know from Amazon product description that only 6 volumes of the show are included + movies...
2) more importantly the American dad bonus CD is not there !!!!!
but this time it is an item that they do mention on Amazon that it is INCLUDED in the set! when it is actually NOT !
read again the product description above to check on that. it is Disk # 22 (the very last one). However I found a Disk that was not mentioned on Amazon product description !!!
It is in the case of "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story" and it is called "Family Guy: Off the Cutting Room Floor" and it has some deleted scenes of the show + 3 interviews + sketches of hand drown pictures of one episode.
and there is a discussion topic on Amazon about this issue
I did call Amazon customer service and a supervisor spoke to me after having a hard time trying to explain to the customer service guy on the line who seemed not to understand a word and told me (the supervisor) that he is gonna check with guys in the head quarter or where ever they keep the products to check if the bonus disk is included in the other boxes or not. and he said he is gonna call me back tomorrow (I will upload my review after I get his replay). However this shouldn't be a big deal because when you buy this package you don't buy it for the American Dad bonus DVD but you buy for the Family Guy DVD's. So that
overall: beside the second issue I was satisfied with my purchase, and to those who says "THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE COLLECTION" I say you are not gonna get a complete collection soon because Family guy as an animated show is not gonna stop until the viewers numbers decrease and believe me this is not gonna be soon. So, if you are a fan of the show don't wait for the complete collection....buy this one OR the "Freakin Sweet Party" package (same set of volumes and movies of the show but with different packaging style. I am not sure though if the bonus American DVD is missing in this package). The two set has over 100 episodes and 2 movies (everything released so far) full of extra scenes and features that you don't get to see on TV, So on my opinion this the right time to buy a package of the show and why not buying the complete collection maybe 10 years latter.

The complete 'not complete' series is sweet!
First off, I got this as a gold box deal for $59. At $59, it's hands-down worth it. In fact, I've been eying this for a while and almost bought it the other day @ $120.Anyways. If you're looking at this, you probably already have an opinion of Family Guy. I love this show. Every show has high and low notes, and Family Guy succeeds in hitting the high notes pretty often. That being said:The pack is pretty much everything that Family Guy is. You'd be hard pressed to find a better bundle pack as of date. Lots of shoppers seem miffed that they bought the last 'complete' set or that this isn't 'complete' because the show is still in production.While valid points, The DVD set still is the best Family Guy collection out there. If you're a serious fan who wants a whole lot of Family Guy, this is the set for you. Read the product specs- Total run-time 2561 minutes. Holy crap! In short, this Family Guy box set is:Awesome Show, Great Job, Amazon!PS is this really Amazon Exclusive? I could have sworn I saw it somewhere else...
