Editorial Review:
Here are more select episodes from the grungy, middle-class existence of the Bundy family, centerpiece of Fox TV's early hit series Married with Children. Choice bits include "A Man's Castle," finding Al (Ed O'Neill) in a crisis of masculine confidence after wife Peg (Katey Sagal) redecorates his bathroom fortress-of-solitude with frilly trappings. "Who'll Stop the Rain" concerns Al's misguided (and cheap) effort to fix a roof leak, resulting in multiple, earthbound falls. "Raingirl" is a good showcase for sexy comic actress Christina Applegate, playing Bundy daughter Kelly as a television station intern-turned-weather bunny suddenly offered a $250,000 contract; the problem is that her manager is also her bungling father, Al. "If Al Had a Hammer" finds the Bundy patriarch building a private room with his heirloom hammer--until the secret gets out. Gross, outrageous, but often sharp about the heaven-hell dichotomy of family life. --Tom Keogh
Married with Children, Vol. 2 - The Most Outrageous Episodes Reviews:
So true to life 
2007-01-22 - Leave it to Beaver and Father knows best were funny and great for their time period. Married with children was more like real life in america than anything on tv at the time. It was and is the best show on tv and no "comedy" show comes close. The cast had perfect comic timing and not one episode in 10 years was a clunker. Still packs a bite, enjoy!
A must for every Bundy fan!
2005-11-30 - Memorable episodes in this package are "Raingirl",which premiered on Fox on April 29,1990 and "Who'll Stop The Rain?" which premiered nearly four months earlier on January 7,1990. These episodes are from Married...With Children's fourth season and I saw them both when they first aired. In "Raingirl",Kelly Bundy(Christina Applegate),takes a job on a TV news program as a "weather bunny". Her superiors realize how dyslexic Kelly is. Instead of saying "storm",she says "strom". Also she pronounces "Chicago" "chick ago". She was under contract for three years with an annual salary of $250,000 but her contract was revoked shortly after taking the job. Kelly's brother Bud(David Faustino) conducts a tour of the Bundy home(the tourists are Bud's high school buddies) and the buddies wave to Bud's and Kelly's mother Peggy(Katey Sagal) but not their father Al(Ed O'Neill). Kelly could have been making more money then Al as a shoe store manager. In "Who'll Stop The Rain?",Al goes to war against the Bundys' roof to plug up a hole and fix the television antenna atop it. Al,in his "moron on the roof suit",as Peggy calls it,falls off the Bundys roof,landing in the backyard. In another scene,Al and Peggy are in their bed and Al has a frying pan over his head to catch the dripping rainwater falling through the hole in the roof. After many pleas to call a profesional plumber,Al does no such thing. That's why he went up on the roof himself. This episode was also one of David Garrison's last. In this same episode,Garrison as former accountant Steve Rhoades,brings a gerbil from a pet store he now works at to the Bundy household. The female,poisonous creature attacked his wife Marcy(Amanda Bearse) after Steve placed her on Marcy's back. Steve told Marcy that the creature,that he thought was male and non-poisionous was just playing. Marcy ended up with a large lump on her back. After Garrison departed from the series in late 1989,it was written that Steve and Marcy got divorced and Steve became a forest ranger. But Marcy re-married a short time later. Long Branch,New Jersey-born Garrison returned to New York City to do a broadway show(he commuted from NYC to California to do MWC). He was later succeeded by Ted McGinley,late of Happy Days,who would play playboy Jefferson D'Arcy,who'd become Marcy's second husband and stick with her through the 1997 cancellation. The other episodes are awesome! This item is a must for every MWC fan.
Even Some More Things...
2005-03-26 - It has been some time since this was released, and Seasons 1-3 are now out on DVD (Season Three having a busted theme song), but there are still points to make on this product.
Not necessarily a "bad" DVD per se, this (and Volume One) was intended to gauge customer response. If response was great, more DVDs (and season sets) were to follow. I guess we can safely say that response was DAMN great! Aside from picture quality issues (I'm not gonna say it's great, I ain't gonna say it ain't), the subsequent season sets were quite great!

You gotta be kidding me!!!! 
2003-08-12 - Let me start by saying, Shame On You Fox!!! This was one of the greatest comedy sitcoms of all time. It changed comedy on tv, like no other sitcom before it. And you got the stones to release these sub par "best of" sets...no chance, i aint buying! This was the only tv show that i watched with my father growing up. This show has fans from all age groups. This series needs the respect it deserves...Season by season box sets!!! So many stupid shows get season by season releases...just take a look at any dvd section in any store!!!! these "best of" discs are a joke. If fox has any respect for the fans that stuck by that amazing show for so many seasons that will release the greatest season by season box sets this world has ever seen. We want Justice, No Pieced together "best of" sets!!!!!
