Summary: Those Wacky Bundys!
Review: "Bundyisms" is a compilation of some of the funniest lines that were used by characters on the hit FOX television program "Married...With Children." Al, Peg, Kelly, Bud, Marcy, Steve, and Jefferson are all quoted here giving advice to one another, yet with the traditional wit and sarcasms the show became popular for. Whether is Kelly giving advice to a desperate Marcy on how to catch a man, or Al's constant views on life and other things important to the average joe (specifically women), the quotes in this book are all great views on life and love. Peg, the sex-starved, chimney-smoking housewife, has to be the best person in my opinion in giving advice and making observations about many things, mainly Al and men.Please note that the cover you see in the photograph is not the same as the cover of the actual book. The actual cover has a cast photograph from the show's final season featuring Al, Peg, Kelly, Bud, Marcy, Jefferson, and Lucky (who replaced Buck the dog after he passed away). The photograph you see if from a small photograph used on the back cover of the book. Besides this little difference, "Bundyisms" will be a book enjoyed by many, especially the show's loyal fans throughout the world. From The depths of Wanker County, Wisconsin to the suburbs of Chicago, the Bundys (as well as the Rhodes/D'Arcy's) will pour sense, humor, and laughter to anyone who reads this book.

Summary: A great book for die-hard Bundy fans and newbies alike.
Review: A splendid collection including some of the greatest one-liners from the show's eleven years. There's a good sense of completeness, and all the major characters and situations are featured. Topped-off with a couple of serious series quotes, it is an enjoyable book and a great tribute to "Married... with Children".

Summary: Married....With Laughter
Review: America's favorite husband gives his down to earth wit and wisdom in this riotous book. For those of you who love and relate to Al Bundy, you will love this book.
Al is everyman. Constantly trying, always losing. But never quitting. For 11 laugh filled seasons, the Bundys graced our TV with their adventures. Most of that laughter was provided by Al, balding, aging shoe salesman always hanging on to his once proud glory of scoring 4 touchdowns in one game. Relegated to the lowly world of a shoe salesman, Al nevertheless kept on trying to raise himself, but always being pulled back by his less than helpful family.
In the manner of Raplh Kramden and Archie Bunker, Al was a loud mouthed man with a big heart that he tried to hide. For all his dreams about leaving his wife for some glamourous model, whenever he had the chance to go, he always chose his wife.
This book will help you look back on the Bundy days with a smile. Read this book while you are watching the reruns on FX or one of your local channels. Better yet, grab the remote and a beer, pick up a copy of Big'Uns and put your hand down your pants. And laugh!

Summary: Classic stuff
Review: I've always considered Married... With Children one of the most philosophical TV shows around. Yes, the philosophy wasn't based on hugging trees and loving your neighbor, but it was there. Who can forget Al's philosophy on life and marriage ("Who wants to hear about the Grinch who stole Uncle Al's life?")? Or Kelly's never-ending wisdom on the mentality of the beautiful people and girls ("If she hasn't let you touch her yet, she never will")?
Every character in MWC had something to contribute to the show, and the earliest episodes (seasons 1-8) had some of the most ingenious lines of any show around. As a sidenote, MWC ended in season 8 for me - I prefer to think of the last several seasons as another, much worse show. It's as if the show got hit by a train....
You may think Tim "The Cokeman" Taylor provides a wholesome image for families everywhere (apparently not in his personal life), but it was Al Bundy that showed the world that there was more to TV than just smiling and good table manners. There were families that were worse off than yours - the show didn't just present this by resorting to toilet humor or stupid jokes (though those were present in just the right amount as well) - it did this by adopting a philosophy that lasted with the show until its demise in season 8.
Flipping through this small booklet, you'll see for yourself that the writers that worked for MWC were not ineducated idiots that haphazardly threw in jokes every chance they got. They were people that developed the characters while preserving a separate philosophy for each and every one of them, as well the entire show.
I will conclude this by saying that it is VERY VERY sad to see a show like MWC get buried under much less deserving garbage that floods the airwaves nowadays. It was a trendsetter and for me still stands as the most intelligent show that ever hit the airwaves (and that includes my second favorite, the Simpsons).
