The jokes were savage, key relationships were marked by ennui and indifference, and the Bundy family name couldn't help but make one think of America's most notorious, real-life serial killer at the time. Yet the show had a hint of Golden Age Hollywood gloss, a retro-screwball feel that one could detect in the snappy verbal warfare between husband Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill) and wife Peggy (Katey Sagal). The characters, and the show, eschewed sentimentality, which certainly opened the floodgates to comic cynicism but also kept a door ajar for moments of genuine sweetness. A decade later, however, by the time Fox cancelled the increasingly expensive series, Married... with Children's first-season tone would be considerably different, replaced by a stronger reliance on running jokes and character stereotypes, particularly concerning Bundy children Kelly (Christina Applegate) and Bud (David Faustino).
That evolution makes watching Married... with Children's first 13 episodes, once again, quite instructive. Those programs are all on this two-disc set, including the startling pilot, in which Al and Peggy lock horns over marital politics and enlist naive new neighbors Steve (David Garrison) and Marcy (Amanda Bearse) in a battle of the sexes. There's also the classic "Whose Room Is It, Anyway," concerning the Bundys' competition to connive Steve and Marcy into building a recreation room, and "Thinnergy," a very funny piece about a diet that supposedly boosts sexual interest. --Tom Keogh

Thank The Lord........Finally A Good Season Set!!!!!!!!!
Finally They Have Decided To Release A Good Season Set On DVD! I Have To Say This Is By Far The Best Show To Have Ever Been On The Air. This Dysfunctional Family Made My Days Brighter. I Don't Know One Person Who Has Seen This Show And Not Laughed. What's not to like. The First Season Consists of 13 Hilarious Episodes.
Here They Are:
0101 - PILOT - Steve & Marcy visit the Bundys for the first time.
0102 - THINNERGY - Peggy & Al make a diet.
0103 - SIXTEEN YEARS AND WHAT DO YOU GET - Al & Peggy's 16th anniversary.
0104 - BUT I DIDN'T SHOOT THE DEPUTY - Steve & Marcy buy a guard dog.
0105 - HAVE YOU DRIVEN A FORD LATELY - Al & Steve buy a Ford Mustang.
0106 - WHOSE ROOM IS IT ANYWAY - Steve & Marcy want to build a new room.
0107 - AL LOSES HIS CHERRY - Al wants to sleep at Luke's. Last episode with Luke.

0109 - MARRIED... WITHOUT CHILDREN - Steve & Marcy take care of Bud & Kelly.
0110 - THE POKER GAME - Steve loses his paycheck to Al in a poker game.

0112 - NIGHTMARE ON AL'S STREET - Marcy dreams of Al.
0113 - JOHNNY BE GONE - The last day of "Johnny B. Good's" diner. The Pilot And Thinnergy were not the best episodes but it got a lot better........The show got a lot better when they replaced Steve with Jefferson. But all of them were great......So I would recommend everyone to buy this dvd. It will be the best 23 dollars you have ever spent. And If you don't have a dvd player, Buy one just to get this show.
LONG LIVE THE BUNDY'S!
The Bundys first run
I don't see why so many are bashing the picture quality, I don't think it's bad at all. I love Married ... With Children and this DVD is a great way to start off the collection, for I'm sure they're will be more.
The Married ... With Children show did get a lot better once Steve was gone and Jefferson came into the picture, but these are still classic, great episodes. You can tell these are the early days for Al seems a lot more affectionate towards Peggy and Peggy seems more loving to Bud and Kelly but they are still funny, especially when they do go off and insult each other.
This show has the best insults, it's witty and hilarious. There really is no DVD extras so I suggest if you already have them on tape, there is no need to get this. This is just for people who want to keep reliving the old episodes.
