Personally however, I buy animated boxsets for the episodes themselves.

On that score, Season Eight is an absolute corker.

Things start strongly with the return of James Woods inBack To The Woods.

4 stars

Out for revenge he steals Peters identity and pushes him out of his own home.

These three have always been the shows strongest assets, in particular the burgeoning relationship between Stewie and Brian.

and it shines in this episode.

4 stars

Still, twelve largely excellent episodes make this another solid purchase for anyFamily Guyfan.

Is it good value?
