Despite the overwhelming public response to have this great season released in the form of complete season sets following the release of "Married With Children: The Most Outrageous Episodes, Vol. 1", it seems that our cries have fallen on deaf ears. Columbia/Tri-Star has decided to go ahead with a 2nd compilation set containing ONLY 5 meazily episodes. I love this show to death, but while lesser known sitcoms are getting the Royal treatment, the show that was innovative on so many levels recieves a paltry 5 episodes per disk.

For those who are interested, the episodes contained on this disk are as follows:

"A Man's Castle"
"Raingirl"
"Have You Driven A Ford Lately"
"If Al Had A Hammer"
"Who'll Stop The Rain?"

This disk, same as the first, features a "Salute To Sinatra" as well as extra trailers.

Why Columbia/Tri-Star would continue releasing this show in this calabre is beyond me. It's a perennial classic which definitely deserves the full season treatment. Geez, if "Sports Night", "Felicity" and "Larry Sanders" can be granted full season sets, then why on earth can't they do the same with this one. In my opinion, it is one of the best sitcoms ever released.

Columbia Tristar officialy annouced that the first season of Married with Children is coming for release later this year. So why buy this. Why did Tristar ever release this. Some say it was the test demand for the show. Thats [not true. Everyone]knows there is more then enough Married with Children fans to make a killing. This was about ranking as much money of fans as possible by [cheating them]. These best ofs are terrible. The picture and sound quality is hardly any better then a TV broadcast and there are no extras. I hope the season sets have improved picture and sound and extras. Even if they don't they still will be better then this "best of" .

Another volume of disappointment from the good folks at Columbia/TriStar, this time featuring the episodes "A Man's Castle," "Raingirl," "Have You Driven a Ford Lately," "If Al Had a Hammer" and "Who'll Stop the Rain." Is it just me or are the majority of the choices they make for 'Most Outrageous' not that outrageous? It seems by the views of CTS any of the 250+ episodes in their library can be considered 'Most Outrageous.' If they're going to continue releasing best-of compilations instead of the much more preferred seasonal sets the least they could do is release the absolute best episodes such as "Pilot," "NO MA'AM," "It's a Bundyful Life," or the controversial "Her Cups Runeth Over," just to name a few. Perhaps the worst part of this particular volume is the fact that the presentation of "If Al Had a Hammer" is the SYNDICATION version, complete with the shortened opening credits and the TV-PG logo in the top left corner! Just when you thought they were treating the show bad enough...

i think this dvd could be better if it was in box sets of the seasons. i am a huge fan of married with children. we want the box sets the dvd could be better.

Why is it that studios today are releasing every tv show's entire first season??? I even saw that "Evening Shade" was being released... But when it comes to my favorite show "Married with Children", the piecemeal it out in these little ... 5 or 6 episode bits... What an insult.
I still gave it 3 stars because I do enjoy Al and the gang. It didn't get 5 because I just hate FOX so much for doing this to us.

Let me start by saying, Shame On You Fox!!! This was one of the greatest comedy sitcoms of all time. It changed comedy on tv, like no other sitcom before it. And you got the stones to release these sub par "best of" sets...no chance, i aint buying! This was the only tv show that i watched with my father growing up. This show has fans from all age groups. This series needs the respect it deserves...Season by season box sets!!! So many stupid shows get season by season releases...just take a look at any dvd section in any store!!!! these "best of" discs are a joke. If fox has any respect for the fans that stuck by that amazing show for so many seasons that will release the greatest season by season box sets this world has ever seen. We want Justice, No Pieced together "best of" sets!!!!!

If you're like me and find Married to be one of your all-time favorite TV shows, then you'll love this DVD. The picture and sound quality of the shows included are not as good as other Fox DVD's like Malcolm but they certainly look better than syndication. Although are these outrageous? No, they're just standard Married episodes. So don't look for any of the outrageous commentary on society like the 10 commandments from Iron Head Hayes, the Psycho-dad assault on Washington, or the Church of NO MAAM where Al takes on feminism.

finally someone has come out with these shows to the public. they have been non-existant for too long. They need to come out with more of the best episodes and put more than just five on a disc. If you like the Bundys then these are good

I wasnt too impressed with volume 1, but this set is definitely better. When i say better, i am just talking about the episodes chosen, because this release is basically identical to the first release on everything else. Same Sinatra Salute. Same trailers. Same everything.

But anyway. Dont expect much from this disk. It is what it is; five (probably random) Married with Children episodes. Of the five episodes, three of them are great with the other 2 just being mediocre.

Even after all these years, i still don't understand how they got away with some of their material on TV. It could still be considered "Outrageous" even by todays standards.

I just can't wait until season sets start appearing.

it is great tv show married with children if everything goes well we will be see the married with sesaon sets soon because the people at are tri-star are going to see if the public like vol1,2,they will start making sesaon set with lots of extra i hope so call tri-star and tell them you like to see sesaon sets with lots of extra stuff not that boring stuff you see in past dvd shows from tri-star because fox gives good extra stuff on dvds
