Product Description

Married … with Children still reigns as one of the most shocking TV comedies ever produced and the sixth season is no exception. The Bundy family continue to live their daily lives in complete disarray. Kelly lands her own talk show, Al gets a job as a private detective, Bud dates an extreme sporter, Peg and Marcy (Amanda Bearse) discover that they are both pregnant, and Steve Rhoades (David Garrison) returns to reclaim his wife. The season climaxes with a three-part episode in which the Bundys visit England.

Even the many detractors of long-running sitcom Married with Children have to admit that sustaining such a superlative level of crass, cynical bile for so long is a artistic feat. The Bundy family--defeated father Al (Ed O'Neill, The Bone Collector), frustrated mother Peg (Katey Sagal, 8 Simple Rules), even more frustrated son Bud (David Faustino, Pucked), and slutty, dimwitted daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate, Anchorman)--savaged every earnest cliche imaginable about family affection as they clawed and fought for any scrap of food, money, respect, or dignity in their squalid lives. The cast completely understood the show's humor and bit into every vicious jab with zest.

The sixth season of this satirical show was controversial among fans. While some episodes are hugely popular (including a two-parter in which Kelly's public-access tv show becomes a hit, when Bud becomes faux-rapper Grandmaster B, or when Peg and Al's anniversary includes a visit from the speed metal band Anthrax), the storyline about Peg becoming pregnant (which ended abruptly when Sagal had a miscarriage in real life) and the season-ending three-parter about the Bundys going to England were criticized as desperate and pandering. But watching Married with Children on dvd makes those accusations seem beside the point. Even in its most cartoonish episodes, the show tossed off brutally bitter jokes that upturned our culture's sacred cows, spat in the face of both the priggish and the politically correct, and will make devoted viewers cackle with glee. As American culture grows more and more timid, Married with Children glows more brightly. Guest stars include former porn star Traci Lords, Jon Lovitz (The Critic), Fred Willard (Best In Show), and a pre-Friends Matt LeBlanc. --Bret Fetzer

A Very Good DVD Set That Is Worth The Price!!!
You might be asking "Does it still have the substituted theme song?", and unfortunately it still does but, that shouldn't stop you from purchasing this amazing dvd set. The episodes are the uncut, non-syndicated versions so that is something to be happy about. This is a great season and includes one of Married...With Children's best three-part episodes, "The England Show." Just those three episodes are worth the price alone.
This season features hilarious cameos from other celebrities and past cast members such as David Garrison (Steve Rhoades) in "The Egg And I."
This is also the season where Peg and Marcy were supposed to have babies at the same time but, since Katey Sagal (Peg), who was actually pregnant in real life suffered a miscarriage. The show later decided that they wouldn't want to use a stand-in baby (as she wanted to use her real baby in the show) and, that is why the season had to use the "it's all a dream" idea (borrowed from the show Dallas). The show was already good in the past five seasons but, this is the season where the show really got going. This set will keep you laughing for hours and you will want to watch these episodes ever and ever again. It's good that fans of the show are able to quit watching those old VHS recordings and finally view the episodes in the clarity which they were originally shown. Lastly, if you have seasons 1-5 already, don't hesistate to order this right away. If you've managed to make it through my entire review, I thank you very much and hope that you enjoy Married...With Children as much as I do!!!

Great Season Six!
I love Married with Children and this season is great. It's starts off with Peg being pregnant and ends with the family going to London. It's sad if you know the full story behind Katey Sagal's pregnancy, and it sucks that she's missing from a few of the episodes because of it. The show was as hilarious as ever in this season despite the tragedy, and I can't wait for the rest of the seasons to come out on DVD.

Ed O'Neill rocks!
Every time I see Mr. O'Neill portray Al Bundy I ALWAYS crack up! He did such an excellent job as Al Bundy, he shoulda won an Emmy! But I can understand why he didn't...the Awards Academy is made up of snobs who considered "Married-With Children" to be too lowbrow and "beneath" them. Well, a pox on those tools! This was and still is a hilarious program!

Katey Sagal should be commended for this sixth season; she suffered a miscarriage (her pregnancy caused the first few shows to center around a new Bundy baby; the plotline was eliminated and explained away as part of Al's dream) yet when she returned to the show, she was the Peg Bundy character with no signs of depression or sadness. What a trouper! She deserves high praise for getting back in character as professionally as she did.

Bud's "Grandmaster B" persona is also a darn funny addition to the show; if this bit was tried on some other TV show it wouldn't work - but here it does and it's very funny!

Now, on to Ted McGinley. I think he's been treated unfairly in reviews; I find his character of Jefferson to be a fresh addition to the show! He's a criminal, a huckster, a cad and he secretly despises his wife, Marcy; his facial expressions behind her back crack me up; he's a good rabble-rousing partner for Al! David Garrison's role as Marcy's first husband Steve was good too, but McGinley fills Garrison's shoes well as a whole different, funny character.

I never get tired of watching this show, no matter what season. I hope they release the remaining seasons in a more frequent schedule!
