Summary: You gotta be kidding me!!!!
Review: Let me start by saying, Shame On You Fox!!! This was one of the greatest comedy sitcoms of all time. It changed comedy on tv, like no other sitcom before it. And you got the stones to release these sub par "best of" sets...no chance, i aint buying! This was the only tv show that i watched with my father growing up. This show has fans from all age groups. This series needs the respect it deserves...Season by season box sets!!! So many stupid shows get season by season releases...just take a look at any dvd section in any store!!!! these "best of" discs are a joke. If fox has any respect for the fans that stuck by that amazing show for so many seasons that will release the greatest season by season box sets this world has ever seen. We want Justice, No Pieced together "best of" sets!!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great series - DVDs need work though
Review: Married With Children is the show that reinvented the sitcom. From its debut in 1987 to the finale in 1997, it provided non-stop laughs. And now, five episodes are available on DVD at long last. But is this a good thing? Read on and see.

First and foremost, the good points about this DVD:
-DVD means excellent picture quality and sound
-5 extremely funny episodes
-The price
-Each episode is the complete original, not the syndication edit

Now onto what ultimately derails this collection - the bad points:

-It's a compilation of episodes from mixed seasons. Why not just release a first season box set, and then a second season, and so on?
-Episodes are NOT in original air order
-NO CHAPTER SELECTIONS! Uh, isn't that one of the reasons we hold the DVD format in such high regard?
-No extras other than trailers. I was hoping for interviews with cast and crew.
-ONLY 5 EPISODES!? Surely more than that can fit on a DVD, especially assuning they sacrificed chapter selections and extras!
-I don't care what the title says, there are episodes many times more outrageous than this.

Overall this collection is disappointing, compared to what it could have been. The other reviews also demonstrate this point excellently. Rather than buying this, consider holding off and seeing if Fox releases box sets.

Summary: Married with children DVD
Review: Once again companies refuse to understand that best of dvd's are pointless. While they capture a variety of episodes from varies seasons, a true fan would much rather have a complete season that is organized and packaged well. I would not recommend buying this because of the fact that shows like Friends did the same thing and came out with best of dvd's and then followed that with complete seasons. The clock is ticking though for tv shows to appear on dvd and before too long the TV powerhouses will come out(FRESH PRINCE, SEINFELD, Home Improvement, and Roseanne)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: better then the first
Review: this dvd was better then the first one, as i wasn't too partial to any of the episodes chosen. but the episodes on this DVD are better. it even features one of my favorites of all time when al builds his own room with his dad's hammer.

the episodes chosen make this DVD more then worth every single penny, go out and buy it today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: more crazy Bundy-fun!
Review: This second volume of episodes from the cult classic MARRIED WITH CHILDREN contains some real gems, including the infamous "Raingirl" and "If Al Had a Hammer".

"A Man's Castle" - Peg (Katey Sagal) takes a redecorating class to help the Bundy abode look more livable. But when she decides to make-over the bathroom, Al (Ed O'Neill) will stop at nothing to protect his most sacred sanctuary!

"Raingirl" - When Kelly (Christina Applegate) becomes the weather-girl for the local TV station, it looks like financial success may finally be in the forecast for the Bundys. But with her reading-skills as scant as her outfits, it may not be sunny skies for long...

"Have You Driven a Ford Lately?" - Al and Steve (David Garrison) buy an old Ford Mustang and bond over fixing and restoring the hunk of junk to it's former glory, much to Peg and Marcy's (Amanda Bearse) dismay. But the boys' dream of cruising the open road 'Born to Be Wild'-style are about to come to a crashing halt...

"If Al Had a Hammer" - A new li'l Bundy is on the way and Al, in need of some space, builds his own private quarters with the help of his father's beloved hammer. But not even this mystical mallet can save his manly oasis from Peg and Marcy and their group of pregnant girlfriends!

"Who'll Stop the Rain?" - It's raining and pouring but it's never boring...especially at the Bundy house! To save money, tight-wad Al goes the do-it-yourself route when the house starts leaking, but he'll end up with both roofing and medical bills when he's finished!

These hilarious episodes will keep the entire family laughing for hours.

Also starring David Faustino. The DVD also includes a promo for the "Salute to Sinatra" CD. (Single-sided, dual-layer disc).

Summary: Not the best episodes
Review: What's so "outrageous" about these select episodes? There are far more that are better. The studio audience REALLY gets on my nerves. What is this, audience participation? And what's with the stupid way the women tilt and shake their head after every time they deliver a small put-down? This show was a lot funnier back when I was 17 & 18. Now that I'm older it just seems kind of lame.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: another dissapointment from our enemys at fox...
Review: Why is it that studios today are releasing every tv show's entire first season??? I even saw that "Evening Shade" was being released... But when it comes to my favorite show "Married with Children", the piecemeal it out in these little ... 5 or 6 episode bits... What an insult.
I still gave it 3 stars because I do enjoy Al and the gang. It didn't get 5 because I just hate FOX so much for doing this to us.
