Hitting its stride, January 15, 2004
While the first season of Married with Children was excellent, the second season is when the show really got going! There is not a single bad episode in the lot. There is a major leap in terms of the comedy, plotlines, and the character development, as the show is quickly finding its identity. It is a must own for any MWC fan. The episodes included are: 1. Poppy's by the Tree (Part 1) - The Bundy's take a vacation in beautiful Dumpwater, Florida (It is as run down as it sounds). At their hotel, they learn of the Axe Murderer that kills the tourists of the hotel they are staying at. 2. Poppy's by the Tree (Part 2) - Al must save Peg when she is kidnapped by the Axe Murderer 3. If I Were a Rich Man - Al goes to the bank with Steve. The day after, one million dollars is missing from the bank. Steve and the Family thinks Al is responsible for stealing the money. 4. Buck Can Do it - The Bundy's get threated with a lawsuit after Buck the dog, umm, gets friendly with another dog. This leads to the family contemplating getting Buck neutered 5. Girls Just Want to Have Fun (Part 1) - Marcy gets into a fight with Steve. To cheer her up, Peg takes her to a male strip club. There, Marcy loses her wedding ring when she stuffs a dollar into the stripper's pants 6. Girls Just Want to Have Fun (Part 2) - The stripper returns the wedding ring to Al, and gives it to Steve. He has to figure out how to approach Marcy about this 7. For Whom the Bell Tolls - A high phone bill causes Al to shut off the phone service in his house, which angers the family and their friends 8. Born to Walk - Kelly gets her license while Al fails his renewal test 9. Alley of the Dolls - Peg meets an old rival from high school and they face off in a bowling match to determine who is a bigger loser. With a member of the Bundy's missing, Steve fills in for the family 10. The Razor's Edge - Steve goes on a rafting trip and comes back with a beard, much to Marcy's disgust 11. How Do You Spell Revenge? - The first softball related episode. Al tries to get Peg to improve her softball skills, while Kelly contemplates getting a tattoo of her boyfriend's name 12. Earth Angel - Bud brings home a beautiful art student to live at the Bundy house. Everyone loves her, except Marcy, who is jealous of her and has plans on getting rid of her 13. You Better Watch Out - A Santa Claus who was supposed to parachute in his arrival at a mall event, plummets to his death... in the Bundy's backyard! 14. Guys and Dolls - Al and Steve trade one of Marcy's classic Barbie dolls. After a fight, Al and Steve have to venture out onto the streets of Chicago to get it back 15. Build a Better Mousetrap - The Bundy's have a mouse in their house, and Al will do whatever it takes to get rid of it 16. Master the Possibilities - Buck the dog receives a pre approved credit card, so the Bundy's go on a huge spending spree 17. Peggy Loves Al Yeah Yeah Yeah - It is Valentines Day, and Peg wants Al to say "I love you". The viewers of the show got to vote on what Al should say. Also, Bud has his first Valentine 18. The Great Escape - One of the best episodes ever! The Bundy house is fumigated because of termites. Instead of getting a hotel, Al has the family live at the shoe store. Kelly is grounded but needs to sneak out so she can go to a rock concert. For those who have seen this one, it is the "Green Meat Attack" episode 19. Im-Po-Dent - Marcy dents Steve's Mercedes. Steve claims Marcy is making him impotent, and uses this to turn Marcy into his slave 20. Just Married... With Children - Al and Peg find an invitation for a love game show in the Rhoades' mailbox. They pose as Steve and Marcy in order to get on. When the Rhoades find out, they pose as Al and Peg and face off against Al and Peg on the game show, where the key to winning is to survive torture 21. Father Lode - Al wins some money at the racetrack, and he tries to keep it a secret to a suspecting family. Peg finds out and starts stealing from Al's wallet 22. All in the Family - Peg's relatives from Wanker county visit the Bundy's, while Al is trying to watch "Hondo" While there may not be much in terms of extras, the DVDs have more than 20 Easter Eggs. Each one is an interview with a cast member, so these should all be very interesting and a nice addition. Do yourself a favor and pick this set up now!
