Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

bkoganbing Sadly if you took a survey I think that more people would identify with Al Bundy as the American father than Ward Cleaver. Ward might be what we aspire to, but Al sadly is what we are.Ed O'Neill as the much but upon Al Bundy was the lead in Married With Children. In doing so he revived another genre in which the American husband and father is a put upon idiot like Danny Thomas for instance. But this show went much farther. Katey Sagal as mother spends her whole day on her coach watching soap operas and eating bonbons. We all felt for Al getting stuck with this and supporting her and the kids on his miserable dead end job as a shoe salesman for women's footwear.That wasn't it for Married With Children. Nobody would ever confuse Christina Applegate with Sandra Dee dripping with sweet virginity. The girl is dumber than a post and puts out to one and all. There was a great line in one of the shows when she took a career guidance test and the result was "lumber camp toy or the other woman".There is also David Faustino as Bud who was intelligent, but the ultimate social misfit. Not likely to be the high school football hero Al was, four touchdowns in a single game Bundy little knowing those were his glory years. Many can identify with that.Every episode focused on one or more of these role models. The neighbor was Amanda Bearse who went through two husbands during the show's run. First was David Garrison who like her was an upwardly mobile yuppie in the banking business. She and O'Neill had a war of words for the run of the show. Secondly was Ted McGinley who was a lay about gigolo, a trophy husband as it were.These six characters and the acid look at the American family are what gave Married With Children it's cynical vibe. It also entertained America from the tail end of the Reagan years well into the Clinton years. Some of the stories went into the surreal, but they were always hilarious.Ed O'Neill for a long time couldn't get work so identified with Al Bundy that he was. Ironically he's now on another hit show playing a family patriarch, much different than Al.But as the much put upon symbol of the American male is what I remember Ed O'Neill as the indelible, unforgettable Al Bundy.

mariondowning-427-469344 The parents pimp out their daughter at every opportunity. The son sleazes over women older than him, the wife and daughter dress like street walkers while the males dress like slobs. Any chance the got the producers had scenes featuring girls scantily clad jumping up and down or bending over and canned sound affects such as "Woooo". One episode featured a young male fitness instructor who was fawned all over by the women and then he became fat, unfit and a slob (yeah you can't keep a good looking well groomed male around for too long). Obviously a cheap porn alternative for men. People saying this is the greatest comedy or sitcom ever are clearly men too who only watched to see boobs (on women and the males ones sitting on the lounge whining).

jenni_0214 This is one of those shows where if it were made today, it would be canceled in a quick flash. Having said that, I absolutely love this show! When it comes on, I can remember watching for the first time. The cheapness, the vulgarity, the humor! Living in a time where sensitivity and political correctness are the rule, words really cannot describe the enduringly offensive family that are/were the Bundy's. Everyone has a favorite character...Peggy, sex-starved housewife with a beehive and forever in spandex. Kelly, the sexy, ditzy teenage daughter. Bud, the younger brother from hell. And my personal favorite, Al Bundy himself, the self-deprecating, nudey-loving, "no ma'am" shoe salesman. As always, can't have a family sitcom without some wacky neighbors. But in this case, they're the "normal" ones. Enter: Steve and Marcy Rhodes. Bankers who just want to live in a nice, friendly neighborhood and live a nice, fulfilling existence. In the show's 11 seasons, I laughed, cringed and laughed again in shockingly joyful glee that I often wondered how in censorship-hell this could be allowed on air. When is the reunion happening?? I've been living in a bubble far too long and I long for the days of love, marriage and offending everyone at the same time! Let's rock!

SnoopyStyle A dysfunctional family headed by a loud mouth idiot is nothing new. In fact, it's a dime a dozen nowadays. But for its times, it pushed all the envelopes.Ed O'Neill delivers a big time performance as the loser husband shoe salesman. Katey Sagal creates a chocolate bonbon filled wife. Christina Applegate is the dim-witted blonde daughter. David Faustino is the creepy little brother.The writing is rock-solid. The show kept pushing the censors. The fact that many people opposed it just made it so much better. But it's the actors who created such outlandish characters that deserves the most praise. It lasted a shocking 11 years. The last few were of lower quality stuff, but it still deserves all the love.
