Average customer review:Product Description
The three-disc set features all 26 episodes of the classic 1980s sitcom parody, starring the less than loveable and most unforgettable Bundys - Ed O’Neill (TV’s John from Cincinnati), Katey Sagal (TV’s 8 Simple Rules), Christina Applegate (TV’s Samantha Who?), David Faustino (National Lampoon’s Pucked), Amanda Bearse (Give or Take an Inch), and Ted McGinley (TV’s Hope & Faith), along with guest stars Danny Bonaduce (TV’s The Partridge Family), Gary Coleman (TV’s Diff’rent Strokes) and Dom DeLuise (Blazing Saddles).
Highlights of this season include Peggy switching seats with Al at a basketball game and ending up being chosen for the $10,000 free throw contest, while Kelly and Bud buy a car to share and then are forced to double date. Everyone thinks Bud has flipped out when they overhear him speaking with his "cool" alter-ego, and in a hospital mix-up, Al is accidentally circumcised after he’s injured playing baseball. Finally, Al could get a brand new car as his old Dodge nears 999,999 miles, but it remains to be seen if he can hold out.

The Hilarity Continues & The Beginning of "NO MA'AM"!!
Season 8 will finally arrive in all its glory on March 18th I believe. I still can't understand why this show has taken so long to be put out on dvd. It is my husband's ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE SHOW!! And, I am very excited too as his vhs tapes are simply worn out. Here are the episodes from Season 8 as stated on IMDB:
1: A Tisket, a Tasket, Can Peg Make a Basket?
2: Hood in the Boyz
3: Proud to Be Your Bud?
The other Bundys think Bud has flipped out when they overhear his basement conversion with his 'cool' alter-ego who arrives from another universe and shows Bud the tactics on picking up women. Meanwhile, Al has a personal battle of his own with a voice-over phone service to order a purchase for a new spare part for the Dodge.
4: Luck of the Bundys
5: Banking on Marcy
6: No Chicken, No Check
7: Take My Wife, Please

9: No Ma'am
When Al and his friends get fed up with the women taking over their Giggly Room and their bowling night, thanks to both Jerry Springer and Marcy D'Arcy. They form a secret organization called No MA'AM and hold him hostage in his own show in an audience filled with men donning the No MA'AM shirts. They intend to perform television's first sexorcism which includes them forcing him in watching hours of pro-wrestling. They'll also force him to wear a stinky, yellow undershirt and a pair of boxers with the words "It's All Me" until the women who took over their Giggly Room and their bowling night comply to their demands.

18: Get Outta Dodge
When Al decides to sell his old car, the people at the Dodge Corporation inform him that if he can get his Dodge's odometer up to all 9's, the car will take part in a commercial, breaking the 1.000.000.000 miles and Al will be awarded a brand Dodge Viper. But can Al and his Dodge survive 24 hours until the film crew can arrive?

25: Al Goes Deep
26: Kelly Knows Something
What a great list of episodes...Season 8 was very funny and proved once again that The Bundy's were the craziest, coolest, & hippest family around!! Enjoy!
Al Bundy Lives On
Like fine wine, the Bundy's got better with time (Ok, Ok the episodes with Seven in Season 7 were the exception).
Season 8 introduces "No Ma'am", the pose (you know - 4 touchdowns in a single game), and further character development past the Bundy and D'Arcy households. The Bundy's Dodge is featured in two episodes (Al needs a part and the 1,000,000 miles). Then there are more scenes at the shoe store. And finally, Al's football past is revisited.
What I like about this season is that the variety of Season 8 helps us understand - and lends background - to how the Bundy's became America's most laughed at and beloved (or reviled) family.
But if there is one episode of Season 8 that stands out, it is the "Luck of the Bundy's". Only people who are so used to suffering misfortune (like Al), and then see their luck turn around dramatically, can feel the gripping fear of sudden good fortune. Ed O'Neill's character plays this episode to the hilt.
What a season!!!
The inauguration of the all-male No Ma'am Club
The eighth hilarious season of Fox's MARRIED...WITH CHILDREN introduces viewers to the all-male No Ma'am Club founded by Al Bundy(Ed O'Neill) and Jefferson D'Arcy(Happy Days alum Ted McGinley). The club members are either bachelors or husbands who are disgusted by their wives' demeanors/lifestyles. Afterall,Al doesn't often enjoy the company of his 22-year wife Peggy(Katey Sagal). In Jefferson's case,he's still madly in love with his wife,the former Marcy Rhoades(Amanda Bearse). I'm assuming that Jefferson co-founded the club primarily to give Al moral support. At every meeting,the members wear white T-shirts bearing the No Ma'am logo,which consists of the female symbol,encircled with a diagonal line over the symbol. But sometimes,Jefferson would enjoy the absence of his wife,but not as much as Al! Kelly(Christina Applegate),daughter of Al and Peggy,is still working as a roller-skating waitress which she began doing last season. Kelly's 19-year-old brother Bud(David Faustino),after a brief course in driving school instruction(degree required),takes a job at the DMV(Division of Motor Vehicles) as an instructor. I'll state for the record that Bud received his driver's license during season 5. I'm sure with Bud as an instructor,no one fails a driver's test! Jefferson still works as a waiter at a topless bar,which he began doing last season. As for the opening montage,there's still an instrumental theme similar to the late Frank Sinatra's 1955 hit recording LOVE & MARRIAGE. Reportedly,Sinatra's beneficiaries still refuse to let Sony Pictures continue using L&M. Many reviewers have commented on this,saying Sinatra's family is greedy which I don't believe is true. Possibly,the families of L&M's writers,Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen,are forbidding the continued use of the song. Well,the families refuse for their own reasons. The similarity is heard in the closing montage also. I guess we can say that the Bundys were still Kings of the Fox network during 1993-94. The animated SIMPSONS drew high ratings in its fifth season then also.
