THANK the blazes for DVD sales. Had it not been for Family Guy's first three seasons selling squillions, Fox wouldn't have uncancelled the series and this movie-length episode would be consigned to creater Seth MacFarlane's strange little mind.

But here we are in a better times - a time where new episodes of Family Guy are a reality.

Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story appears to be three continuing episodes stapled together, and it shows. The first two thirds are fine work indeed as militant, oval-

headed baby Stewie tracks down his "real dad", but things drag in the latter third.

Still, it's horribly good to have the show back.
