Married with Children - The Complete First Season

Summary: The Bundy's are finally coming home!
Review: ... Ed O'Neil and David Garrison had such good working chemistry between them. And the episodes where Al tried to help Steve re-discover his manhood were the best. Episodes like where Al and Steve played poker in a bank vault, when Al and Steve worked to restore a Mustang car, or the classic "period" episode where all 3 women on the show had their times of the month at the same time and made life for the men miserable on a camping trip.

I quit watching the show a couple of years after David Garrison left the show because the episodes had lost their dark humor. Jefferson D'Arcy was too much of a pretty boy and a whiner. The one really good episode featuring Jefferson was the one where the Bundys and the D'Arcys competed in a supermarket shopping spree.

It's good to see that Married With Children is finally coming to home video. I won't be buying all 11 seasons, though. Just up to the point I mentioned earlier, about 2 years after David left the show. Let's hope Columbia/TriStar released more sets like this one in the future. ...

Summary: IT IS ABOUT TIME!!!
Review: YAHOO! This is what we all have been waiting for! Everyone needs to own these dvds because they don't make television shows like "married with children" anymore. Wow I am still so shocked the season discs are becoming available - it's long overdue. Well if you are still reading this and don't know about the bundy family then you should turn your T.V. on to the FX station to maybe catch a rerun of an episode and then you will be hooked and want to buy the season dvds like me!

Summary: The Bundys first run
Review: I don't see why so many are bashing the picture quality, I don't think it's bad at all. I love Married ... With Children and this DVD is a great way to start off the collection, for I'm sure they're will be more.
The Married ... With Children show did get a lot better once Steve was gone and Jefferson came into the picture, but these are still classic, great episodes. You can tell these are the early days for Al seems a lot more affectionate towards Peggy and Peggy seems more loving to Bud and Kelly but they are still funny, especially when they do go off and insult each other.
This show has the best insults, it's witty and hilarious. There really is no DVD extras so I suggest if you already have them on tape, there is no need to get this. This is just for people who want to keep reliving the old episodes.

Summary: Long live anti-cosby!
Review: Finally, after hearing fans that wanted full-fledged season box sets, Fox answered their prayers. So get ready for those outrageous Bundys in Married...with Children:The Complete First Season, featuring all 13 episodes from the show's debut. Though the funniest episodes are yet to come in the second season, season 1 is the groundbreaking season that completely changed sitcoms forever. This taboo-shattering hit series was often deamed too hot for TV, introducing everyone's favorite dysfunctional house hold. These are the 13 episodes:

1.Pilot-Peg forces Al to forfeit his coveted basketball game to have dinner with their annoying new neighbors, Steve and Marcy.

2.Thinergy-Hoping to rekindle Al's flame, Peg takes Marcy's advice and goes on a crash diet, much to Al's dislike.

3.Sixteen Years And What Do You Get?-After Peg runs his credit card to the max, Al is forced to show up at his own wedding anniversary empty-handed.

4.But I Didn't Shoot The Deputy-Mistaking it for a burgler, Al accidentally shoots his neighbor's watchdog.

5.Have You Driven A Ford Lately?-After restoring a vintage Mustang, Al discovers the backseat isn't the only thing "hot" about his cherry ride.

6.Whose Room Is It Anyway?-A battle between Al and Peg is waged over who has the final word on the neighbor's room addition.

7.Al Loses His Cherry-After a bad fight, Al vows to teach Peg a lesson by not coming home all night. Instead he's the one who ends up getting schooled by a blonde bombshell.

8.Peggy Sue Got Work-When Al refuses to buy Peg a new VCR, Marcy convinces her to get a job herself.(laughs)

9.Married...Without Children-When Al and Peg get away for the weekend, Marcy and Steve volunteer to baby-sit Bud and Kelly-but get more than they bargained for.

10.The Poker Game-When Steve sits in on a Friday-night poker game, he loses more than his shirt to Al.

11.Where's The Boss?-Fooled into thinking his boss is dead, Al threatens to quit his job unless he gets a little respect.

12.Nightmare On Al's Street-Marcy is living a nightmare when a too-sexy Al starts popping up in her dreams.

13.Johnny B. Gone- When Al's favorite hamburger joint closes, he must choose between family and food

Remastered and avalible for the first time on DVD, this show is truly a gem, so go out and get this set today!

Summary: Begging of a CLASSIC!!!
Review: I have never seen Married.. with children until I catched an episode in syndicating in the mid-90s, and let me tell you I was hooked since that moment, the Bundy feels so familiar and funny and each joke made me laugh like crazy.

Season 1 stared in 1987 as a season-replacement show, with 13 episode, in a network which at that time was kinda of new and maybe this aspect let the show creaters use a lot of jokes and situations that were ricky at the time.

During this season each caracther is trying to find her/his rythm, so it seems slow at times but anyway you find very funny and riske.

If you are new to this show (where have you been!!) this is an excellent way to taste the show, since I am not very into details I really liked that the 13 episodes are in olny two discs so I do not to change discs every 6 episodes, just put one on an enjoy 9 shows in a row!! Great.

Summary: slow start
Review: I'm a big fan of the show however I was disapointed with season one. The characters simply have not jelled together yet. The writing was not quite as witty in the beginning as it was in later seasons. I would recoment skipping the first season.

Review: I have faithfully watched married with children through its completeness. I totally love the show its concept and good ol disfunctional family values. I have recently purchased both the 1st and 2nd season and am getting nervous they may not make follow up season and the best is yet to come! I fanatically recomend these dvd's to the true fans of the series and hope they continue to produce additional seasons as they do become more hilarious as they progress. heh heh Especially once they start the no-mam club! man I love this show!

Summary: Married... with Children - the first season on DVD
Review: The first season was produced in 1987 (it's almost 20 years now!). It included 13 fabulous series.

I didn't have an intention to buy all seasons, and I wouldn't mind to have just the best of... But lately I discovered the complete first season on a DVD, and I decided to have just only this one! I thought, that since that was a beginning in a series of spectacular seasons, then it should have been definitely one of the best. Because lots of energies and efforts were given both by actors and the authors to make this new show popular so that it could win its audience in the late 80th. I bought this DVD and I am very happy about it. I enjoyed each single scene, each phrase and each pulled face. And I laughed a lot! This season is packed with 100% smart and witty jokes that worth to remember and cite!

Quality of the picture is just alright for 1987. I am glad it was not digitally re-mastered, otherwise it would lose the touch and the charm of the late 80th. Besides, re-mastering of a 302-minute show would make this DVD cost a fortune!

On the other hand, the quality of DVD's sound, which is Stereo Dolby Digital, is superb. First time I watched this show on TV dubbed in Russian and I couldn't really assess sound quality of original dialogues. But now, after I bought this DVD, I can tell you - sound is just great. All actors speak clearly and loud enough for one to hear each single word.... and to laugh!

I highly recommend this show!

Summary: MWC RIDES AGAIN!
Review: Now I can watch my favorite MWC episodes anytime I wish and commercial free. I cannot wait for every season to come out on DVD, I will buy them all. I but anything to do with MWC, I just bought the Married with children trivia book off amazon.com the other day, after I bought this DVD. It is so hard to pick a favorite episode, I would have a problem listing my 10 favorites. Married with Children was the best show ever made. It was not expected to be much of a show at all, I read that Ed O'Neil {Al} said that the show would be cancelled by the sixth show. I wonder what he thought when it went past six years? MWC is awesome, the Bundys are hilarious. The Bundys were the original disfunctional family. The kids are starving, the wife is lazy and the husband hates sex with the wife. The neighbors are perverts. No wonder they origannly wanted to call it "Not the Cosbys." Before MWC all T.V. shows were family orientated. The Bundys never remember birthdays,even Peg who gave birth. They do not vote or celebrate traditional holidays, they don't go to church, they have all been arrested. The true low class trailer trash family with a twist. Like Peg said.. "Hey, we're Bundys, we don't call the police, people call them on us." They have family rumbles on the freeway, in a park, at the movies, that's the Bundy way.
I would tell anyone and everyone to buy this DVD. It is A-#1
