Uncle Kal's Words of Wisdom.

Hey fellow EU Cantina fans, it’s your Uncle Kal here with a review (a very quick one) of the Family Guy DVD release of “Something, Something, Something Darkside.”

Hummmmmm, okay, I’ll just get to it, I hated it! Plain and simple, nothing more to say about it.

This “sequel,” in my opinion, started out just like “Blue Harvest” for the first 5 to 10 minutes. Then the show took a turn that had me floored. The “snap,” the “beats” and “heart” that was present in Blue Harvest flew out the window so fast I liken it to the Falcon making the Kessel run in less then 12 parsecs.

Darkside took a turn right into crude, rude, infantile and any other word along those lines. Once the show went there, it never came back.

I could actually go on with this review more but honestly I turned the DVD off in the middle of it to get my kids out of the room. I was not expecting any of what I saw and I had to convince myself not to return it to get my money back. It was hard enough to pick-up where I left off so I can say that I finished it.

What really blew me away was a famous scene at the end of Empire that they tried to recreate here. I’m sorry I am not a Family Guy regular but I didn’t get the “F-You” comeback that was said in “this” scene.

Sorry folks. If you are a Family Guy fan and understand “why” they did this, then this DVD is for you. If you are not and just want to check it out, go a head and enjoy. If you are not a fan of Family Guy, this DVD is NOT for you.

I just hope that the sneak-peak they gave the Jedi parody that is being worked on is better then this. But I’m not holding out hope for it. I loved the Robot Chicken episodes BTW more then this, they where funny.

That’s my opinion, and I’m sticking to it.

Your Uncle Kal
