"Domestic bliss was never like this! Get ready for those outrageous Bundys in Married...with Children: The Complete First Season, featuring all 13 hilarious episodes from the show's groundbreaking debut season, introducing everybody's favorite dysfunctional household. This taboo-shattering hit series was often deemed too hot for TV, bringing a blue-collar brand of raunchy humor to America's idyllic '80s TV family, where father definitely doesn't know best!Remastered and available on DVD for the first time ever, this collector's favorite lets you get reacquainted with this middle-class clan of lovable losers -- hard-working lug Al (Ed O'Neill), his couch-potato wife Peg (Katey Sagal), sexy teen daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate), hopelessly horny son Bud (David Faustino), and prudish neighbors Marcy and Steve (Amanda Bearse, David Garrison) -- as they try to get along without getting on each other's nerves! For better or worse, the Bundys may be broke, but this is one family that's rich in delightfully demented attitude, wild characters and racy humor!"
"...a brash, occasionally brilliant sitcom about the trials and tribulations of your far from typical white trash nuclear family." Bill Gibron, DVD Verdict
"The total opposite of what a TV family should be, the original working title for the show was Not The Cosbys..." Britt Gillette, The DVD Report
"...a perfectly cast series that was offensive and edgy, yet brilliantly so." CurrentFilm.com
"...a deliberately irreverent flip-side to the squeaky clean family sitcoms." James Plath, DVD Town
"...well-delivered raunch-humor..." Scott Weinberg, DVD Talk
Editor's Note
From 1987 to 1997, Fox-TV documented the adventures of the Bundys--a comically distorted view of the typical American family. Patriarch Al (Ed O'Neill) is a former high school football star who has been relegated to selling women's shoes. Peggy is his overly amorous, high-haired wife with a penchant for leopard skin clothes. Daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate) is a ditzy party girl, while son Bud (David Faustino) would do anything to make his virginity a thing of the distant past. This 2-DVD set contains all of the episodes from the first season.
