At Long Last
I was beginning to think that I would be dead and buried before Sony had all eleven seasons of Married With Children out(knock on wood that I make it to October). We fans have had a long, long journey getting here. Star Trek came and went in all it's incarnations. Jessica started later and got her tenth season out prior to this (Murder She Wrote). So I am happy to be able to complete the collection with some of the best shows they did, even tho Fox had dumped them in spirit long before this and the show was beginning to show it's age. The "Al goes to Hell" episode with Robert Englund alone is worth the whole season. So to all of us who have been in the "Hell-evator, going down!", lo these many years...we finally have our floor in sight and we will at long last be in Married With Children Heaven with Buck.
Hasta La Vista Bundys!
It's about time that Sony released this 1996-97 Season of the Bundy's out on DVD since I've been waiting for the longest time to have the Bundy's final season on DVD, especially since Sony already has the first 10 seasons of the Bundy's on DVD along with the fact that the Bundy's 11th Season was one of my favorite seasons and the season when I think the sexy, but the daffy airheaded Kelly(Christina Applegate)was looking her best along with the fact that this was the show that made Christina Applegate a star and very popular to this very day and Applegate's mastectomy in 2008 has now made her an inspiration to all women battling breast cancer too, which makes Christina Applegate a good role model and I will always love her for that as well.
The Bundy's Eleventh Season also has some of its best episodes like when Kelly gets an acting gig as a princess on a kids show that eventually ends up faltering when Kelly becomes snotty and too controlling.
Another is the...
Going back to the basics, but all for nothing...
The final year is a step up from the last few years, which descended into total vapid crudity.
Now, the final year also retains crudity that "Married with Children" (MWC) is known for, yet plot quality has risen (the jokes aren't as obvious and even when the punchline is, there are enough instances where you don't get the set-up until after the groundwork has been laid), and goes new places/tackles new ideas. For example:
* "The Stepford Peg" - Peggy gets amnesia and Al trains Peggy to serve him 24 hours a day (literally). Rating: 5-stars
* "Grime and Punishment" - Bud lands some money and Al now demands rent. Unfortunate, Bud being the smart one, knows renters' rights and calls in the authorities. Hilarity really does ensue. 5-stars
* "Kelly's Gotta Habit" - Bud gets Kelly in for a product ad commercial, but has to clean up her wardrobe and act (not being "easy") in order to get the role. Another 5-star ep.
* "Bud on the Side" - Bud, eyed...
