As the petty, miserable, conniving, yet perversely vital Bundy family, O'Neill, Segal, Christina Applegate, and David Faustino give performances that walk a fine line between outrageous satire and painful truth. It's the anti-Cosby; family breeds contempt. Children scoff at their parents, parents resent their children, husbands and wives eye each other with suspicion and disdain. Episodes hinge on neutering their oversexed dog, fighting the phone company, and trying to humiliate a high school nemesis in a bowling tournament, but it's all an excuse for squalid delirium. This is not an ironic description of the show; Married... with Children is both ruthless and deeply funny. (Though created by men, Married... with Children was frequently produced, written, and directed by women, which is unusual in the sitcom world. This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with its sense of humor, but its eagerness to skewer and roast sacred cows is shared by such women-driven shows as Roseanne and Absolutely Fabulous.) The jokes are like blunt instruments, yet delivered with a unique panache that got honed to razor sharpness in the second season. If you've never experienced the Bundy clan, this is an excellent place to start. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of Married with Children - The Complete Second Season
Tang Wipes!!!! Its fantastic that these are coming out. I hope season 3, 4, and 5 all come out within the next year or so. I picked this up the afternoon it came out, went home, and have been enjoying it over the past few nights. It brings back so much of what TV doesn't have today: great sitcoms that make you laugh. You didn't have to think when you watched the Bundy's, you just had to laugh. Tang Wipes, the physical humor, and how can you not laugh at Buck? The hidden easter eggs are outtakes from the reunion special, and while there are quite a few, most are just uninteresting. But the episodes are great. Especially the one where Al and Steve go looking for Marcies Barbie. Just the montage with the Glen Frey song "you belong to the city" is worth the whole price of the set. Go pick it up today, along with the new Tesla Cd, Into the Now!!!!
AWSOME TV SITCOM
DA BUNDYS WERE PART OF MY UP BRINGING AND THE EARLY SEASONS WERE DA BEST,SEASON 2 IS GOOD BUT PLEASE BRING OUT SEASONS 3 AND 4 BECAUSE THESE ARE PRIMO LAUGHS ALL DA TIME.
Flawed Picture + Zero Extras = Disappointed Fan
THE SHOW:
Season 2 is not jam-packed with great episodes, but there are a few good ones. It's amusing that Kelly is pretty smart in the early going of the series. She's much funnier an airhead of course, can't wait 'til that happens. Bud is getting funnier and funnier. And Al & Peg already have their characters down pretty early in the series which is great!
PICTURE QUALITY:
Discs 1 and 2 for some moronic reason are loaded with NINE episodes each, and the 3rd with only FOUR. Stupid enough for any of you? Yes, these filthy rich companies can't even add for some reason. Does no one check the product before it is released?
Many episodes, especially on the 2nd disk, are plagued with LINES ON THE SCREEN. A single, translucent vertical line just hangs on the screen in the same place for a few seconds at a time, disappearing then returning, in several episodes (and no, it's not my dvd player or my tv to blame). This is VERY annoying. The 3rd disc, SURPRISE SURPRISE, suffers NO such defects, and the picture is brilliant. I can only attribute these flaws to OVER-COMPRESSION.
DVD PRODUCER'S THOUGHTS: Hmmm. Let's see. 22 episodes on 3 discs. I know! Let's overload the first 2 discs with 9 eps each and leave the third one virtually empty with only 4! It makes perfect sense!
Couldn't they just have done 8+7+7 instead of 9+9+4? DUH???
THE EXTRAS:
Terrible. The "extras" are pathetic easter eggs hidden in menu screens you have to search for like a moron. And these so-called extras are nothing but very short CLIPS from the MWC Reunion Special that aired on Fox not too long ago. What the hell?
Why no commentaries? Not even for one episode? I'd love to hear from the creators of the show, or at least the actors for at least ONE episode. Why not?
OVERALL:
An O.K. season of the Bundys on a pretty lousy DVD set. Why couldn't they do this one up right?
