Married With Children

Post Reply New Topic

I love it! Used to be shown on Paramount in the UK Sky TV package and then on some other channel, but it's not on any more Bummer.

No woman can resist the moves of Grandmaster B!

I loved watching Married with Children. It was always fun to see how screwed up some families are. Most characters were so irrational, that I knew I could never be like them. I did, however, identify with Bud (the son in the Bundy family), since he was always having trouble with girls.

I love this show. I think my fave episode would be when Al is working on a garden to relax and a rabbit get's into it.

Ahhh MWC,


A show that truly pioneered the world of sitcoms(along with seinfeld)

it was one of my favorite show also
I laugth a lot watching it!! !

I hate reality TV too, but I do sometimes get a laugh out of Nanny 911 or Supernanny. Seeing how clueless some of these parents are along with thinking "compared to these kids my parents had it easy" can be amusing.

From what I remember, I think the cast was growing tired of it and they wanted more and more money to do the show, so they decided to end it before productions costs made it less profitable. I read an interview with Ed O'Neill once where he said what he made from MWC had him pretty much set for life.

I remember the show too, it was more real than the Huxtables(the working title for the show while it was in development was "Not the Cosbys") and the Seavers, and pretty funny. I wanted to get Ferguson for my bathroom when we replaced the toilet last year<grin>.

I feel the excact same.
TV today is filled with rubbish soaps, and reality programs.
There should be more proper movies

Married with children is defenetly the best show ever.
When it comes to cartoon shows it's the Simpsons, and Southpark.

Ah yes, what a classic show... Must say I always enjoyed watching Christina Applegate squeeze into those slu*ty outfits. My god that girl was beautiful. I still catch this show on every now and then... but it only seems to air at 2:30 am around here

edit: double post

I'll say it: I didn't care for Married With Children at all.

Yes, some of the jokes were good. But the show was a nonstop negativity-fest. Selfishness and backstabbing every ten seconds, every episode.

The show was far from original or pioneering. It was All In the Family, with all human warmth taken out and replaced with silly sight gags and prop jokes.

Once in a blue moon, I'll get an urge to watch a horror movie. Most of the time, though, I just don't want to sit through an hour and a half of negativity, no matter how funny it is, how fake the gore is, or what lessons I might carry away about the human condition.

Some jokes that others apparently find real funny just make me cringe. For example, sitcoms apparently love this scenario: two or more people will be talking about a third person, who isn't present. One person, facing the opposite way from the others, will start trash-talking the person. Shortly thereafter, the third person enters and stands right behind the trash-talker, who continues, oblivious. The trash-talking only escalates, even though the other people usually stop and start making funny faces and cut-it-out gestures and the like. The person being discussed just stands there, emotionless. Eventually, the trash-talker will say something like "He's right behind me, isn't he?" and slowly turn around and start backpedalling. But I'm not sure why, because apparently that isn't as funny as the person standing there, obliviously trash-talking. I think someone should do a show where the whole episode is just someone standing there, insulting someone who is silently standing right behind him, because apparently this joke never gets old to anyone except me.

Married With Children had way more than its fair share of this type of comedy. If you want pioneering humor, try South Park. There, there's a slight chance you'll see something you've never seen before.

I've seen that show.

I do not often watch T.V, it is boring or addictive.

South Park is as funny as having the runnings....UGH

MWC rocks

DEBATE GOODER!

We have the first 3 seasons on DVD at my house if you ever want to come and watch them

300$ for it was a decent price
