King of his Castle
Constantly downtrodden shoe salesman Al Bundy and his dysfunctional family continue to delivers big laughs in "Married... with Children: The Complete Ninth Season". "Married... with Children" is the long-running Fox sitcom that changed our view of the typical family comedy. In this season, family patriarch Al (Ed O'Neill) and his NO MA'AM crew head to Washington DC to protest the cancellation of their favorite show "Psycho Dad". A series of train accidents delays housewife Peg's (Katey Sagal) return home. A huge zit could ruin daughter Kelly's (Christina Applegate) chances to star in a beer commercial. Son Bud (David Faustino) volunteers on a Virgin hotline but has problems fulfilling his duties. On a Caribbean cruise, the Bundys' and Darcys' (Amanda Bearse & Ted McGinley) end up lost at sea with comedian Gilbert Gottfried. The ninth season of "Married... with Children" features some of the funniest and most memorable episodes of the comedy sitcom. The season features plenty of over-the-top humor and guest appearances from some big names from the world of sports. It also marks David Garrison's final two appearances as Steve Rhoades.

Sony Pictures continues to disappoint us with their "Married... with Children" 3-disc box sets. All 28 episodes of this season including the "Best of Bundy" and "My Favorite Married" episodes are presented in their original broadcast full screen format. The picture quality isn't spectacular but the episodes do look better than the typical syndicated reruns. Its 2.0 Dolby Digital audio is satisfactory. Unfortunately, this is another simple 3-disc set with no decent extras other than two 3-minute mini-episodes of "Facts of Life" and "Sheena", and previews of upcoming Sony DVD releases. Overall, "Married... with Children: The Complete Ninth Season" gets a "B-".

More adventures of the Bundys and the D'Arcys
By fall 1994,many people were considering Fox's MARRIED...WITH CHILDREN the king of Fox series. Not many people remember when just after MWC premiered in April 1987 other series,these short-lived,such as 21 JUMP STREET,DUET,MR. PRESIDENT,DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS and THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW,the latter which premiered along with MWC and later spun off THE SIMPSONS. OK,now for what happens here:Al Bundy(Ed O'Neill) still runs his shoe store and his mens' club NO MA'AM. Al's wife Peggy(Katey Sagal) still sits on her behind in front of the TV eating chocolates and bonbons. Their children Kelly(Christina Applegate) and Bud(David Faustino) are now respectively an early 20ish young woman and man,still waitressing on roller skates at a diner and teaching drivers' ed. The Bundys' neighbors Marcy D'Arcy(Amanda Bearse) is still managing her bank and her husband Jefferson(Happy Days veteran Ted McGinley) is still waiting tables at a topless bar and running NO MA'AM meetings with Al. Other hit sitcoms in 1994-95 include CBS's Murphy Brown,NBC's Frasier and Friends(premiered that season),FOX's The Simpsons and ABC's Roseanne.

Nine Seasons Down/Two More To Go
It's about time that they brought this 1994-95 Season of MARRIED WITH CHILDREN out on DVD, since it's one of my favorite seasons throughout it's whole 10-year run on FOX.

In fact, in this season I loved the episode when baseball celebrities Mike Piazzi and Joe Morgan do a cameo appearance in the episode when Al(Edward O'Neill) and his buddies got busted for trespassing and Al ends up becoming famous and acknowledged as a baseball player afterwards.

I also like the episode when famous DJ(Wolfman Jack) did a cameo appearance in the episode where the Bundys and the Darcys get stranded out to sea on their disasterous vacation.

In addition, I enjoyed Larry Storch's cameo appearance in the episode when Al and Griff try to pull off a midnight show sale that falters until Larry Storch is knocked out in the shoe store having pictures taken with customers.

The episode when sexy blonde bombshell Kelly Bundy(Christina Applegate) gets chosen to do a waist away diet drink commercial is hillarious too, since Kelly was never able to get the flavor right along with the fact that they didn't even end up using Kellys head for the commerical, but only used Kellys body for it, since Kelly was obviously quite slender and very sexy.

In the meantime, I can hardly wait till this season comes out on DVD this Summer and I can hardly wait till the Bundy's 10th Season comes out on DVD too, since the 1995-96 Season is even better than the Bundy's 9th Season, especially since Kelly seemed to have gotten sexier and sexier every year, despite her ditzy Kelly Bundy character on Married With Children.

It's just hard to believe that Christina Applegate is dealing with breat cancer now at a very young age at only 36 1/2 years old and looking back on her better days on MARRIED WITH CHILDREN along with the fact that Christina Applegate is still one of my very favorite actresses and was my favorite actress back then when she played Kelly Bundy, not to mention I was so in love with her back then.

So I pray Christina Applegate will defeat this ailment she's dealing with now and will be back on her feet to success very soon. So Christina, You go girl!
