You might be asking "Does it still have the substituted theme song?", and unfortunately it still does but, that shouldn't stop you from purchasing this amazing dvd set. The episodes are the uncut, non-syndicated versions so that is something to be happy about. This is a great season and includes one of Married...With Children's best three-part episodes, "The England Show." Just those three episodes are worth the price alone.
This season features hilarious cameos from other celebrities and past cast members such as David Garrison (Steve Rhoades) in "The Egg And I."
This is also the season where Peg and Marcy were supposed to have babies at the same time but, since Katey Sagal (Peg), who was actually pregnant in real life suffered a miscarriage. The show later decided that they wouldn't want to use a stand-in baby (as she wanted to use her real baby in the show) and, that is why the season had to use the "it's all a dream" idea (borrowed from the show Dallas). The show was already good in the past five seasons but, this is the season where the show really got going. This set will keep you laughing for hours and you will want to watch these episodes ever and ever again. It's good that fans of the show are able to quit watching those old VHS recordings and finally view the episodes in the clarity which they were originally shown. Lastly, if you have seasons 1-5 already, don't hesistate to order this right away. If you've managed to make it through my entire review, I thank you very much and hope that you enjoy Married...With Children as much as I do!!!

Every time I see Mr. O'Neill portray Al Bundy I ALWAYS crack up! He did such an excellent job as Al Bundy, he shoulda won an Emmy! But I can understand why he didn't...the Awards Academy is made up of snobs who considered "Married-With Children" to be too lowbrow and "beneath" them. Well, a pox on those tools! This was and still is a hilarious program!

Katey Sagal should be commended for this sixth season; she suffered a miscarriage (her pregnancy caused the first few shows to center around a new Bundy baby; the plotline was eliminated and explained away as part of Al's dream) yet when she returned to the show, she was the Peg Bundy character with no signs of depression or sadness. What a trouper! She deserves high praise for getting back in character as professionally as she did.

Bud's "Grandmaster B" persona is also a darn funny addition to the show; if this bit was tried on some other TV show it wouldn't work - but here it does and it's very funny!

Now, on to Ted McGinley. I think he's been treated unfairly in reviews; I find his character of Jefferson to be a fresh addition to the show! He's a criminal, a huckster, a cad and he secretly despises his wife, Marcy; his facial expressions behind her back crack me up; he's a good rabble-rousing partner for Al! David Garrison's role as Marcy's first husband Steve was good too, but McGinley fills Garrison's shoes well as a whole different, funny character.

I never get tired of watching this show, no matter what season. I hope they release the remaining seasons in a more frequent schedule!

I can't get enough of Al and his "disfunctional" family. A comedy that really shows what life is like, even though most people won't admit that their family is exactly like Al's.

All previous five seasons have a prominent place in my DVD collection, but Season 6 *really* got me excited.

Undoubtedly, everybody knows about Married with Children, so let's skip that bit, and get right down to why this labels as my favourite season so far.

One of my favourite Bundy storylines has always been them being brought to the UK, in a desperate attempt to dispel a witch's curse. Well, folks, that's this season.

However, my absolute favourite episode ever is where Jefferson and Al try putting together a "Handyman's Workbench 5000" (some assembly required).

There's some other beauts in this season as well, but these four would be my favourites.

Now excuse me while I twiddle my thumbs waiting for Season 7 to be released ;)

Married With Children is an awesome, funny show that consistently aims at grabbing the audience with every little biting remark or gesture. Its crudeness is what puts it above many of the shows today and will always be unique in that the humor is in a class all by itself. My husband can watch this show every night and is obsessed with the hilarity of it all. I just wish they would release the rest of the seasons as soon as possible so that my husband can enjoy the rest of the series. The 6th Season is another Classic Year and should be added to anyone's collection who likes crude humor with a wacky family and neighbors to boot! Awesome, classic show of the '90's!!

Been a huge fan of the series, since it came out. Glad they are putting them on DVD

I love Married with Children and this season is great. It's starts off with Peg being pregnant and ends with the family going to London. It's sad if you know the full story behind Katey Sagal's pregnancy, and it sucks that she's missing from a few of the episodes because of it. The show was as hilarious as ever in this season despite the tragedy, and I can't wait for the rest of the seasons to come out on DVD.

This is probably the only season (along with the final season) that'll receive mixed reactions to both fans and critics. While the Anthrax & England episodes were good, Peggy's pregnancy was just unrealistic.

But flaws aside, this is still one of the funniest sitcoms ever to be put on air. Sure the humor is almost always crude, but that's what makes it so good. The Bundys are absolutely hilarious. Al's shattered dreams and Peggy's stupendous carelessness are the highlights for almost every episode. Kelly's low intelligence and Bud's failing love life completes the dysfunctional family. And let's not forget their neighbors: the chicken-legged Marcy, and the charming but unemployed Jefferson, and (from the earlier seasons) the one-and-only Steve.

The Bundys will be remembered for all eternity! At least I hope they will be...

Learn what it takes to being a member of the Bundy family with "Married... with Children: The Complete Sixth Season". "Married... with Children" is the outrageously funny comedy sitcom that changed our view of the typical family comedy. The comedy series follows the lives of luckless shoe salesman Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill), his dysfunctional family and his bothersome next-door neighbors. In this hilarious sixth season, the announcement of Peg's (Katey Sagal) pregnancy leaves the family in shock and forces Al to run away from home. Kelly (Christina Applegate) lands her own talk show and goes to Hollywood. Bud (David Faustino) tries to impress women with the help of his hip-hop alter-ego Grandmaster B. In the three-part season finale, the Bundys win a free trip to England but are unaware that some vengeful villagers seek to get rid of all male Bundys to break a curse cast upon their village. The sixth season marks star Amanda Bearse's directorial début on the show and the brief return of David Garrison as Steve Rhoades. It also includes guest stars like Jon Lovitz, Traci Lords, Fred Willard, Steve Carlton, Ed "Too Tall" Jones and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Though the sixth season of "Married with Children: The Complete Sixth Season" will certainly leave you laughing for hours, this 3-disc DVD set is certainly nothing to rave about. All 26 hilarious episodes of the sixth season are presented in their original full screen format. The picture quality is noticeably cleaner and sharper than your average television rebroadcast. Its simple 2.0 Dolby Digital sound is rather satisfactory. There are no bonus features included in this 3-disc DVD set. Though the lack of extras is certainly a big letdown, "Married with Children: The Complete Sixth Season" earns a decent "B-".

This 1991-92 Season of Married With Children is a great DVD and I recommend it to any Bundys fan or viewer, but they still should have used the "Love & Marriage" song by Frank Sinatra like they originally used when "Married With Children" was on FOX.

The Bundys 6th Season is also the season when Jefferson D'Arcy(Ted McGinley) becomes a full-time co-star on Married With Children and the season when Marcy's ex-husband Steve Rhoades(Dave Garrison) tries to reunite with Marcy(Amanda Bearse) while being on the run from the FBI, plus this is the first and only season with a 3-parted episode, such as the 6th Season Finale episode when the Bundys win a vacation to London and get lost in England while they're at it.

In addition, ANTHRAX does a cameo appearance at the Bundy's house in this season as well when Kelley(Christina Applegate)and Bud(Dave Faustino) win a prize and sports celebrities Sugar Ray Leonard and Big Joe do a cameo appearance in the episode when Al(Edward O'Neill)gets hired to be the fall guy for a Zeus shoe commercial for Super Bowl Sunday, except Al doesn't even end up being shown on the commercials and gets too hurt in the process.

Kelley gets her own show in this season, but ends up getting fired when the show flops and cancels.

This season also takes me all the way back to memory lane to the recession we had back in 1992-1993 when George Bush, Sr. was the president along with the fact that I was 19 years old and living in my hometown(El Centro, CA)at the time when the Bundy's 6th Season was running on FOX.

In the meantime, I can hardly wait till the Bundy's 11th Season gets released on DVD this Fall since I just got word that Married With Children's 1996-97 Season is now scheduled to be released October 13th, 2009.
