Summary: Hilarious
Review: Married With Children is definetly one of the best sitcoms ever!!! I love it. I can't wait to grab the second season! Ed O'Neill is hilarious playing Al Bundy, as well as Christina Applegate, Kate Sagal & David Faustino. Buy this DVD and you will not stop laughing no matter how much you watch it, when I'm down, I just put it in my DVD player, and believe it or not, it cheers me up big time...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally a complete Married With Children season on DVD!!
Review: I have literally waited years and years for them to start releasing the complete seasons of Married With Children. This was the best show on TV, well...until the last few semi-lame seasons. Even so, I really hope they continue to release more seasons of Married With Children, because I would definitely buy each and every one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Seeing where it all began... Not quite priceless
Review: I still remember regularly watching the show when it was still in production, and I still watch it quite often on FX today. When I saw that they'd finally released a season box set, I knew I had to buy it. I must say seeing this first season is drastically different from what the show became in later years. They actually ate food (YES REAL FOOD) in a couple of episodes this season. However, as interesting as this is to see where the show began. The DVD release leaves lots to be desired. #1 Picture quality is simply horrible on several of the episodes. (Definately not what you expect when you buy a DVD.) I've seen movies 30 and 40 years old that have been remastered, so I'm sure it would be possible to do a decent transfer on a tv show that's what 15 years old? #2 Lack of special features. I realize that most of the stars of the show are now doing other projects and are quite busy. And I wouldn't expect them to find outtakes or deleted scenes from that long ago, but how about some commentaries. Surely the producers or directors could take some time to give fans of the show some decent bonus features.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great start
Review: The first season of any show has it's ups and downs and MWC certainly did as well. Some of the episodes are hysterically funny. I particularly enjoy I shot the sherif where Al mistakenly shoots Steve and Marcy's guard dog. The characters changed and evolved over time and in the first series Al's avoidance of physical contact with Peggy is not quite as exaggerated as it would become in later seasons. This is a great start at having this show in a DVD collection and I look forward to other seasons becoming available.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Feel the Love...
Review: Finally, after a very long and restless wait, "Married with Children: Season One" is now available to own on DVD. Considered one of the raunchiest and most vulgar shows in its time, these 13 glorious episodes are here for your viewing pleasure for the very first time on DVD. These guys ain't the Cosbys, that's for sure.

The show revolves around a shoe-salesman, Al Bundy, and his lovely (lovely??) family. His wife is always on his case about money and refuses to clean or cook the house. The kids are always driving him up the wall with their constant bickering and getting into trouble. The only sane one in the family appears to be sane is the dog (although he doesn't really do much). Yep, it's "Home, Sweet Hell" for Al Bundy all day, every day. You can just feel the love.

I forgot how funny the first season was. I don't think a second went by where I wasn't laughing hysterically at the Bundy hijinx that was occurring in each episode. Personally, I think Al Bundy has some of the funniest lines ever. All 13 episodes are some of the funniest TV you'll ever see. It's nice to finally see them earn a home in the DVD world.

Here are the 13 episodes that are included in this set:
"Pilot," "Thinergy," "Sixteen Years and What Do You Get," "But I Didn't Shoot the Deputy," "Have You Driven a Ford Lately," "Whose Room is it Anyway," "Al Loses his Cherry," "Peggy Sue Got Work," "Married' Without Children," "The Poker Game," "Where's the Boss," "Nightmare on Al's Street," and "Johnny B. Gone."

This 2-disk DVD set also includes extra features like bonus trailers and the "Married with Children Reunion Special" that aired on FOX awhile back. The picture and sound quality is pretty good, considering how old the show is.

"Married with Children: Season One" is a must-have for any Married with Children fans. Hey, with Christmas coming up pretty soon, this would make a great gift. The Bundys were a crazy family, but they were family nonetheless. Check out these 13 episodes as soon as you can and prepare yourself for some high quality entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Future Seasons
Review: Married with Children is by far unsurpassed in comedy and entertainment. I have always wanted the opportunity to collect every episode since they went off the air. I just hope they continue with every season so that I can complete the collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We Need More Than Season 1. Where Is Season 2?!!!
Review: OK the first season is here, and its everything we wanted. The full episode minus the commercials. As a extra plug for this DVD. The second from last show where MArcy is Dreaming of Al. Kelly complains of why they have to a CUB game and sit on the rooftops across the street. Peg says," In your father's defense we are not allowed back in the stadium BECAUSE OF THAT FAN INTERFERENCE CALL THAT KEPT THE CUBS OUT OF THE WORLD SERIES!!!" That was made back in 1987, freaky huh?

Anyway We want season two and we want it before Christmas.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: WE WANT SUBTITLES COLUMBIA
Review: Excellent show, classic comedy with millions of fans including many with hearing difficulties so how about subtitles Columbia?Amazon states this is Closed-Captioned, there is even a CC logo on the DVD package itself, but guess what? Once I bought the DVD subtitles/captions etc were nowhere to be found.I'm not sure I'll go through with the rest of the seasons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: spectacular
Review: this is a must have for ANYBODY who gives a crap about fantastic tv. before my folks got divorced when i was 10, this was the one family get-together we had on a weekly basis. this is not just a show to me, it represents part of my childhood. it is to me what andy griffith was to my parents. i HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that is a fan of the show and tv on dvd.
