Ok, ok, I know, Seven sucks. Gotcha. No argument there. But, I can ignore the scenes with him, read a magazine or something, until the king, the hero, the shoe man comes in to save us from the misery of Seven. Al Bundy is the funniest, greatest character I have ever seen, and even the weakest season of Married With Children still beats the heck out of the lame, tame, canned-laughter, seen-it-before tripe that networks spew out now, hoping we won't remember recycled jokes from the 70's and 80's.
Kelly and Bud are getting older now, and can have more adult situations now that they're out of high school. That only adds to the humor. Besides, Seven is only in a few episodes, not every one. Less than half. Strangely enough, The first disk has Seven the most, and it has the weakest episodes. Once Seven disappears, disks 2 and 3 have some hilarious episodes. So even though this DVD has crappy theme music, even though there are no extras at all, it still earns 5 stars from me. And, best of all, for season 8, no Seven, and.. the start of "No Ma'am!"

Even though that little snot Seven appears this season, he doesn't last long...so anyone who's hesitating to buy this 3-disc set in order to avoid the plague known as "Seven," don't fret...he's completely gone by Disc #3...and he's not in that many episodes on the first two either! "Seven" is to MARRIED WITH CHILDREN what "Cousin Oliver" was to THE BRADY BUNCH...except MWC lasted four more seasons, while TBB got cancelled!

Now, that being said, this season features guest stars Bill Maher, Bobcat Goldthwait, Brian Doyle-Murray, Charlene Tilton, Corey Feldman, Dan Castellaneta, David Garrison, Jamie Luner, John Sebastian, Linda Blair, Mark Lindsay, Melanie Chartoff, Peter Noone, Richie Havens, Robby Krieger, Spencer Davis and Vanna White. The ROCK OF AGES episode with the Sixties Rock stars ain't as bad as some may think...if you remember, Al always listened to the Oldies station in his Dodge and the storyline fits in with his love of that music.

And, for the guys, lotsa hot ladies with names like Muffy, Toni, Corky, Heidi, Mindy, Lulu, Mandy, Candy, Sandy, Tania and Dee Anna!

Even with weak storylines, this show always makes me laugh; and when I'm not laffing I find myself smiling throughout each episode! The Bundys act the way we wish we could, and get away with it to boot. So buy it, revel in it, forget the world's problems and just bask in the glow of ridiculousness that is MARRIED WITH CHILDREN.

I am subtracting 1 star because -as mentioned before- Seven absolutely sucks.
The rest of the episodes are still great though. I love the one about the Senior Olympics and the regular cast is still as funny as ever.

You've gotta admit, that kid Seven ruined a perfect show. Luckily, he didn't last. I still give this season 5 stars, simply because the rest of the cast were very funny. Looking forward to season 8, (no Seven!!) < that lil' turd!

Looks like I found some other true MWC fans! I am looking forward to getting my Season 7 DVD set along with Seasons 8, 9, 10, and 11... OK, we've established that Seven's character was not a great idea, but who cares... There were too many laughs, even with him there. However, the show when it was Seven's birthday is Classic MWC... I love a good Bundy brawl.

The show evolved. The characters changed. Bud and Kelly got older. This is all good. If everything had stayed the same, they would not have been around for 11 Seasons! We would have gotten bored and moved on... We (the true fans) kept watching because the cast became more outrageous and gave us even more to laugh at.

Al's life continued to get more and more pathetic. Kelly's brain continued getting smaller and smaller (cudos to her for playing that role so well)! Bud tries harder and harder to get a date. And Peggy... well Peggy does nothing... And she is really got at it! MWC is a show to make you laugh. If you try to analize it, you will not be able to enjoy it...

This series was one that you either loved or deplored. It was the 1st series that took a cynical look at home life in these United States and as such ran successfully for the nascent Fox network for some 12+ years. The show could be very funny, before it got tired towards the end of its run. The year being reviewed here has all the elements of the successful show: smart-mouthed know-it-all son, sexy slutty daughter, deceptively sexy mom, and downtrodden working father. If you liked the show, as did I, then buying the season here is a good value at these prices to watch when there's nothing else on.

I always loved Married with Children every since it first started airing on US TV. But, this is the season where the magic starts to fade. The characters were always given wonderful witty dialogue. However, in season seven you'll only find a few minimul jokes, a few good episodes, and mostly fillers in between. Overall, this is still a great show and a decent season. MWC will always set a milestone in the realm of sitcoms. Still enjoyable nonetheless because of the loveable cast of actors.

After "Love and Marriage" sang by Frank Sinatra in the earlier seasons, the opening melody sucks; other than that - the show is great as always!

That little kid Seven has been infamous for being (quite possibly) the most annoying character in the entire "Married with Children" series. Well, at least that's what I personally think. Every time I see him in a scene, I just wish we could just focus on the Bundy's and the Darcy's only.

Well, anyway, with Seven aside, this yet another good season of MWC. Many comical highlights include Peggy daydreaming about pirates, Kelly buying her own motorcycle, Bud and his fraternity, etc, etc, etc. I don't really have to tell you that this is definitely one of the classic sitcoms of this generation, quite frankly because everyone else has said it. So buy it, along with the other MWC box sets.

Grade: A-

Not the best season of this show. This is by far my favorite show, but I didnt approve of the addition of 'seven' at all. He couldn't act and was frankly...a moron. They tried to spice the show up and they saw that it failed as quickly as we did. Next thing you know 'seven' goes missing and the show is back to normal.

If it is that bad, just force yourself to watch it cuz the show picks back up again in season 8. I believe season 8 is where no maam finally comes in. Very funny stuff lies ahead.
