Summary: This is an injustice to all MWC fans
Review: I am puzzled why anyone bothers selling TV series episodes on DVD any more without releasing the entire season at once. It may be just as well, though, since at the glacial pace Fox is releasing MASH and the Simpsons (two seasons per year), it will be about 2008 before MASH is finished and at least 2011 for the Simpsons. Even if they start full-season releases of MWC now, at that rate it would be at least 2009 to get all of them! They should take a clue from Paramount, which is releasing seven seasons of Star Trek: TNG and Deep Space Nine in their entirety in a single year. There's no excuse for Fox to be so stingy with its series other than greed or stupidity.

Summary: OK DVD but for fans only
Review: I am surprised that people who have never seen this DVD are reviewing it. This DVD came out on February 4th in U.S. and I bought it the same day. The first thing that surprised me was the quality of the episodes. They are all very funny and the storylines are good. However, I would not put them in the "most outrageous episodes" category. The only one which deserves that mention would be the lost episode "see you in court".
The only problem I have with this DVD is that it has no extra material, just a bunch of commercial's. Some history about the show and an interview with the cast would have been great.
In conclusion, I would recommend that you get this DVD only if you're a diehard MWC fan. Otherwise, you're better off renting it.

Summary: Is this from Fox or Vince McMahon?
Review: I do agree with just about all the reviews I've read, Married with Childen should be released by seasons, but just as vince did with WCW and the invasion angle, he signed the wrestlers in such a way to make him more money. Fox is doing the same, release a few good eps. at a time for a little extra money and when we least expect it, Season 1 will be released, for example, people, like us now for the dvds, have been asking for Goldberg, and Finally, at wrestlemania this year we'll see Goldberg v. Rock. So, join me in writing to fox in pushing for release of MWC by season NOW not later. By the way I gave it 4 stars just for the shows on this collection.

Summary: Finally my favorite family is on dvd
Review: I do agree with other viewer's.I don't know why they
didn't release all 9 season's of Married with children
seperately.I own the All in the family and Sanford and son
season 1 dvd's and why didn't Married with children get
the same treatment.Maybe they only wanted the funniest
episodes to be on each of the dvd's and not every episode.
I love all the episode's. It's cool to put just the funniest
one's on a dvd but it would be better to own every episode
and every season.The only dvd t.v. show that is better than
all the other's are the x-file's seasons.I wish they could
tell us why they didn't have all 9 seasons sold seperatley.

Summary: It's about time
Review: I know that every Married...With Children fan is complaining about Fox wanting to make money, and it's true. Fox could easily release every season of The Best Sitcom ever, and us fans would easily shell out the [money]. To my knowledge, Fox Studios is doing this as an "experiment" to see if enough copies of this DVD are sold to actually release the the whole series from season one. However, I have been waiting to see Al Bundy and his shenanigans on DVD and I happily bought it. As a hard-core fan, I can tell you that all of these episodes are worth your money. I know that several reviews gave this DVD 1 star, out of their anger of Fox wanting to make money. However, I gave it 4 stars because these episodes are good, but Fox could have done better by being more selective with the episodes. If they really want to entice people to buy, they should have added extras too. Other than that, the DVD is good, but don't base your judgement on Fox wanting to make money. If you don't want to spend money, then don't buy them. .... Bundy, Bundy, Bundy. "Hooters Hooters, Yum Yum Yum." "Hooters Hooters, On A Girl That's Dumb." Al Bundy.

Summary: A real review of the DVD
Review: I want to write a review of what this DVD is, not what it isn't. I wholeheartedly agree that it is unacceptable for Columbia/TriStar to not release full seasons of this groundbreaking show. But I do not think it should influence a review of this particular DVD. I agree with what everyone is saying, but this still is nice to have until the morons at Columbia can get their act together. These 5 episodes are all classics and highlight what made this show so funny and unique. Even the episode "No Chicken, No Check" from the weaker, later seasons, is a winner. The real gem here is the uncensored "Lost episode", which was never shown on TV until this past summer on FX. The other three episodes, especially the 2 part "You Better Shop Around" are very solid selections. Each episode is highly funny and gives avid and casual MWC viewers exactly what they want. People who are new to the show can get a good idea what it is all about, and this collection would be a great springboard to the series. The "extras", if you can call them that, are non-existent, so do not expect anything beyond the actual episodes. "Married with Children" is one of the funniest TV shows of all time and deserves to be released in a season-by-season format. Until that day comes, this DVD and the soon to be released volume 2 should hold you over.

Summary: Good advice given here
Review: I wasn't going to listen to the above advice columns and got this one. I should've listened. MWC is the #1 sit-com of all time. You get 5 episodes in this DVD (actually 4 because one is a 'to be continued' episode of the Bundy's living in a grocery store). Al's making of his bathroom one is a classic, but that's about it for this DVD. Please share the love with the MWC fanatics like me. Much like M*A*S*H and most other sit-coms, I prefer the earlier ones. I'll buy the first 3 seasons, but after Trapper & Colonel Blake leave, I wont have much interest, just like when Steve leaves. Jefferson just never filled the part. The psychodad one's I'll have to find where to fine. Back to Steve, he's in two of the five episodes on this DVD. That's not going to do. I could be wrong and the MWC people are making a poll on who'll purchase this DVD by giving out these. I bought #1, but, that's all I'll buy with the exception of an entire season.

Summary: Well...it's a start...
Review: I've been waiting for a DVD release of "Married...With Children" for years and now that I've heard of this upcoming release I gotta say I feel cheated. For a show that literally started the FOX network and put it on the map, a show that broke all the rules and paved the way for many other shows such as "The Simpsons" and "Roseanne," and lasted 10 years with 11 seasons, for Columbia TriStar to only offer 'Best of' collections as opposed to seasonal sets is a travesty. I mean, it's not like 'Best of' collections is all Columbia TriStar offers for their television library, they've released seasonal sets of "All in the Family," "Sanford and Son," and even god forbid "Mad About You," so what the hell are they thinking here? However, its good to at least get something for now, and this DVD does offer the classic lost episode "I'll See You in Court," which never aired once in the US until just this past year on cable network FX. So I will buy this release, and hopefully we'll be seeing The Complete First Season released sometime in the near future.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Money...
Review: If they were going to release a 'best of' DVD collection of Married With Children, they could have selected some better episodes. I can't believe they settled on these 5 mediocre episodes when I can think of much better classics that could have been included. I'm waiting till they release the full season box sets...

Summary: Yes, full season would be much better
Review: If you are starving to get "Married with children" in your home viseo library, this and the next volume are your only chance to get at least some. And the episodes are pretty good. I've got this DVD and I like it. That's to say that I agree with all the folks here, that the whole season would be much much better. That's the main reason, I give this DVD 3 stars only. And also, well, normally you expect more stuff on a DVD that just five episodes, right?
