A must for Bundy fans!

The most memorable episode on this DVD is "I'll See You In Court" from Married...With Children's third season(1988-89). Al(Ed O'Neill) and Peggy Bundy(Katey Sagal) retreat to a motel to try to "put some spice" back into their private life. They view a videocassette,recorded by a security camera,of their next-door neighbors Steve(David Garrison) and Marcy Rhoades(Amanda Bearse) engaged in a private escapade. It turns out that the camera violated the Rhoadeses' privacy,when they were at that same motel by themselves at an earlier time. So both couples sue the owners/operators of the motel but only the Rhoadeses were awarded a nice $100 grand because the Bundys' privacy was not invaded afterall. After the trial,Al and Peggy are making love underneath the presiding judge's podium with a security camera overhead! This episode was never aired on the Fox network during its original run because because of some of its content. The FX channel did once air it in 2002,though. In "You Better Shop Around",a two-part episode from 1990-91,Al,Peg and their children Kelly(Christina Applegate) and Bud(David Faustino) seek relaxing shelter in a supermarket. Al accidentally wins a sweepstakes by becoming the store one millionth customer of the day. At the time,Al steps ahead of Marcy in the checkout line because he only had a pack of chewing gum. Balloons and confetti are falling and Marcy is bitching because she was originally the next in line. Al quipps,"What's the difference? You still are!". Al checks out a headline on the cover of the National Enquirer which reads "Steve Rhoades to marry Cher". That immediately caught Marcy's attention because he's her ex-husband(this was after Marcy married her second husband Jefferson D'Arcy). The other episodes are awesome. This is a must for every MWC fan. November 25, 2005

Some More Things...

It has been some time since this was released, and Seasons 1-3 are now out on DVD (Season Three having a busted theme song), but there are still points to make on this product.

Not necessarily a "bad" DVD or a "waste of money" per se, this was intended to gauge customer response. If response was great, more DVDs (and season sets) were to follow. I guess we can safely say that response was DAMN great! Aside from picture quality issues (I'm not gonna say it's great, I ain't gonna say it ain't), the subsequent season sets were quite great!

Funny show, bad DVD

Who doesn't know the Bundy family? Al, Peg, Bud and Kelly, and their faithful dog Buck, often accompanied by their neighbours Marcy and Steve (who later is followed up by Jefferson) have been around for ages, and stole the hearts of countless people, including me.

However, DVD's like these are hardly worth the effort of releasing in my opinion. While they picked 5 funny episodes, they hardly are the funniest episodes ever.

I cannot help but feel as if this collection was meant as a pilot project; just to see whether people would actually buy Married with Children on DVD, rather than releasing the one of the seasons, and then finding out there would be no public interest.

Luckily, they realised their error by now, and released Season 1 and 2. I'd definitely recommend those over these 5 episodes. June 7, 2004
