Married... with Children Audience Reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Michelle Adams This show was very controversial when it first came out but it was also daring and hilarious. Roseanne got all kinds of attention and praise and awards for being more down to earth and real and showing a non-Beaver Cleaver type of family but this show did it first and just as well. Ed O'Neill was amazing and perfectly cast. Peggy and Christina Applegate and Marcy D'Arcy were awesome too. I just bought the complete DVD box set and re-watched the whole thing and the show actually holds up today. There are some in jokes that I didn't really get but looked up the references online and they're still funny but for the most part it's just a hilarious show.
grantss Al Bundy is your average working man. He has a wife, Peg, whom he tolerates, and two teenage children, Kelly and Bud. Together they make up a rather dysfunctional and hysterically funny family.Brilliantly funny. A satire on your average family, and on some of the characters that constitute them.Fearless in its irreverence and ability to poke fun at domesticity, the mundanities and of life and the baser elements of our nature. I doubt it could be made today, unfortunately.Wickedly funny.
nicholls_les The only reason this got 9 instead of 10 is because it didn't always work, especially the last series. But over all this is what all comedies should be .... funny! Married with Children is laugh out loud funny and some of the episodes are classics. Ed O'Neill proves to be a brilliant comedy actor as Al Bundy, surely Al is one of the best comedic characters ever created? Christina Applegate provides some of the series funniest lines as the pretty but less than intelligent Kelly Bundy. She is laugh out loud funny at times. Katey Sagal creates a unique comedy classic character as Peggy and although Bud is probably the weakest family character, David Faustino does it brilliantly. It is hard to find fault with any of the cast in this series. Amanda Bearse as Marcy D'Arcy is very funny. Her interactions with Al are comedy genius. Ted McGinley who replaced Steve Rhoades as her husband is also very funny.But what makes this series so funny is it is politically incorrect and goes back to a time when what mattered in comedies was that they make people laugh. So many so called modern comedies and comedians are just not funny and resort to bad language which for some strange reason makes some people laugh.Some Al Bundy scenes in the shoe shop are just some of the most hilarious I have seen.Love this show and sad it ended the way it did.
Armand reflecting ordinary problems of a family, using large sort of humor, creating memorable characters, it is a legend. out of definitions, it remains more than source of nice memories but a form of pop art. because it reflects reality in a special unique form. because the song of Frank Sinatra has new nuances and for Ed O'Neill is one of biggest performances. almost vulgar, too honest, ironic, absurd, strange, it becomes, episode by episode, a picture. its secret is precise connection with reality. the genius of director to give slices of small facts from every day in a kind of society portrait. a family like reflection of its viewers. and nice art to be the jester of modern time.it is a legend. not for the ten years in which it was made, not for memorable jokes. only for the inspired manner to present reality as a big large source of humor.
