No, that was called "Blue Harvest" and is presently only available on DVD. I'm hoping that with the release of "Dark Side" on Blu, we'll get some more Family Guy Blu-ray love.

Great Family Guy on BD!

I hope that the new season be released on BD too!

Lord_Stewie · 08-12-2009, 09:03 PM

SpaceDog · 08-12-2009, 09:04 PM

I hope they get to Attack of the Clones so they can go to town on the "your skin is not like sand" line.

there is a set coming out here with the new movie as well as the first one on blu ray so the states might get something like that.

^^ Hilarious.

I liked the Blue harvest, probably the only good thing to come out of Family Guy in a few years. Maybe this will live up to the first one.

And that will include the episode that Fox won't show on TV when the new season starts in September.

Kick ass series!!

I got out of buying Family guy DVD's, it always pissed me off that FOX refused to putout season sets..i despise shows that go the "volume" route (unless of course it's a case with a show like Batman the animated series, where some seasons where almost triple the amount of episodes another season was)

I definetly want to see this, Blu Harvest was the highlight of last season, but i don't think i'm gonna be picking this up

Also, i wonder when FG is going widescreen, i belive its the last of FOX's animation block to still be 1.33:1

Huh?

It's called "Something Something Something Dark Side."

BluBrown · 08-13-2009, 01:04 PM

This has to be great! The giant chicken that Peter is always getting into fights with plays Boba Fett.

FANTASTIC!

STARSCREAM · 08-13-2009, 02:35 PM

Excellent news, the more blu-ray exclusives the better.

CaptainYoda · 08-13-2009, 02:37 PM

The clips that they showed at Comic Con from this episode were hilarious!

It would be nice if it would go widescreen, but I don't know when or if that will ever happen.

I good buddy of mine who I grew up with moved out to California several years ago, and for the past couple/few years he has worked on American Dad (I believe he is currently in the post production department on the show... at least last I had heard).

American Dad has been in Widescreen/Hi-Def for most, if not all of it's entire run. From what I understand, while he is involved with both shows, Seth McFarlane has much more direct control over Family Guy than American Dad. And I guess he has some issues with actually transitioning from the 'traditional' TV aspect ratio over to 16:9 from what my friend has told me.

Honestly, if this new Star Wars thing isn't 16:9 and if it's not mastered to be Hi-Def, I don't really see the point in getting it on Blu-Ray. Though at the same time, I'm going to take that special with a grain of salt anyway.

While some of the jokes were funny here and there, I really don't get what the big deal was over the Blue Harvest special that they did. For the most part, it was really just an edited-down-for-time, animated remake of A New Hope. It really didn't do enough IMO to really take the subject matter and adapt it into it's own thing.

CdnBlu · 08-13-2009, 03:00 PM

I thought the episode when stewie gets ripped was great!

If it's like Carnivale of Cartoon. DONT BUY THIS. It's 480p upconverted to 1080p and look hideous compared to Futurama and Simpsons Movie...
