Feel the Love...
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.

a breath of fresh air
This show was originally titled 'not the Cosby's.' Considering the sentimentality of American sitcoms in the late 80s and networks insistence that 'life lessons' needed to be learned each episode you can fully understand why Married With Children was such a hit. This show cares about nothing other than the misery of Al Bundy. It is rude, obnoxious, world weary, depressed and hilariously funny. Al Bundy has more witty, cutting and insightful one liners than most sitcoms together. If you thought edmund blackadder was sarcastic....
This is an exaggerated, but fundamentally truthful, vision of married life and in spite of the bickering and family battles the love is evident. The beauty of MWC is the characters reluctance to express this love directly. Instead they exchange insults. This really is comedy at its irreverent best and it ran for 13 years. Check it out.

No 1 Al Bundy fan!
I've been watching Married with Children since the late 80's - and even today, it never fails to get the tears of laughter running down my face. I'm not one of those people that will laugh at anything - but one look at Ed Oneil's facial expression, and I'm keeling over. This is truely one of the funniest sitcoms - if not the funniest - ever. All the characters seem to really bounce off of each other, providing some of the best one-liners I've ever heard. It's rude, it's unrepentant, and seems to attack every human insecurity and weakness, at the drop of a hat. I'm just so glad I've finaly found the dvds. Buy these. Their absolute classics!
