Someone once asked, "How many times
can you insult your wife and it still be funny?" A lot, apparently,
as that was the whole premise of "Married with Children,"
which enjoyed a ten-year run on Fox. While I enjoyed the show
until it "jumped the shark" with a talking dog, I can't say
I was ever a devoted fan of the series. Still I remember seeing
much funnier episodes than the ones presented here. In fact,
other than the famous "lost episode" ("I'll See You in Court"),
it's hard to determine why any of these were deemed worthy
of such an honor as being the only episodes available on DVD.
The episodes aren't bad, per se, but I doubt many people will
agree with the use of the term "outrageous." With news that
the series will soon be available in season box sets, fans
shouldn't be too upset over these collections, but we're still
left to wonder if Columbia/Tristar put any thought into this
package at all, or if they just grabbed some random episodes
and pressed them on a disc. *** The episodes are: ***
Vol. 1 ***
"A Dump of My Own" -- Al builds
a bathroom in the garage. *** "You Better Shop Around (parts
1 & 2)" -- the Bundys move into a supermarket and compete
for groceries ***
"No Chicken, No Check" -- Bud and
Kelly buy a car ***
"I'll See You In Court." -- the
famous lost episode in which our heroes sue a motel for taping
them having sex ***
Vol. 2 ***
"Have You Driven a Ford Lately?"
-- Al and Steve restore an old Mustang ***
"Who'll Stop the Rain?" -- Al tries
to fix a leaky roof ***
"Raingirl" -- Kelly gets a job
as a TV weather girl ***
"A Man's Castle" -- Peg makes their
bathroom more feminine ***
"If Al Had a Hammer" -- Al uses
his dad's hammer to turn the garage into a room
