Product Description:
The most popular underachievers of the early 90s the Bundys delivered a constant deluge of politically incorrect macho jokes replete with sexual innuendo and an unabashedly crude flavor. The fourth season doesn't disappoint with patriarch Al (Ed O'Neil) a women's shoe salesman and misanthropic malcontent perennially battling his shopaholic wife's spending sprees as well as her amorous advances. Peg (Katy Sagal) for her part is a ditzy but curvaceous redhead who shows surprising cunning when it comes to getting her way. Daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY) takes after her mother in every way a blond bombshell with a deficient IQ. Bud Bundy (David Faustino) rounds out the family with his anomalous intelligence and high opinion of himself running contrary to his success with the ladies. In this season the Bundy's influence on neighbor Steve (David Garrison) finally becomes too much for his wife Marcy (Amanda Bearse) to handle and she divorces him. This provides incentive for Peg to take newly-single Marcy to Las Vegas where the pair's gambling ambition far outweighs their coffers.System Requirements:Starring: Ed O'Neil Katey Sagal Christina Applegate Running Time: 511 Min.

It's fitting that the producers of Married...With Children--The Complete Fourth Season were too cheap to pay for the rights to the show's classic theme song, the jaunty Sinatra tune 'Love & Marriage,' replacing it with some crappy instrumental. Not because the season is lousy--on the contrary, the show's crass and cynical wit is in full bloom--but because if the Bundys themselves were putting this out, they'd blow off the theme song as well. One of the longest-running sitcoms ever, Married...With Children portrayed American domestic life as bitter, sleazy, and perpetually hungry, yet bound together by the loyalty of the mutually damned. Emasculated shoe salesman Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill, Dutch, Spartan), his lazy and unsatisfied wife Peg (Katey Sagal, 8 Simple Rules), his dimwitted slut of a daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate, Anchorman, View from the Top), and his horny, conniving son Bud (David Faustino, The Trouble with Frank) all bicker and scheme to achieve any meager improvement of their lives. For example, Peg wants to buy an idol of Tubro, the fat Panamanian god of money, hoping that good luck will help her win the lottery; so she sells Al's beloved Playboy collection, launching Al into the depths of despair until he musters the shreds of his manhood and orders her to retrieve them. Or when Al, feeling suicidal on Christmas, gets a glimpse of how happy his family would be if he'd never been born and decides to live to keep their lives as awful as his has been. But it's not simply the parade of suburban atrocity that makes the show funny--it's the zest of the cast, who wallow in their white trash characters with gusto and commitment. Their glee gives the show a sardonic bite that transforms the squalor into something strangely giddy and transcendent, a vivisection of human pettiness that an 18th century novelist like Thackeray would appreciate. The fourth season features a startling array of guest stars, including Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element), Joe Flaherty (SCTV), Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Beverly Hills 90210), screaming comedian Sam Kinison, and former porn starlet Traci Lords. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - SEASON 4 ROCKS!
This 1989-90 Season of the Bundy's is awesome and is even better than the first 3 seasons of this show, despite the unfortunate fact that this is the season when Marcy's husband Steve Rhoades(David Garrison) departs from the show in the second half of the 4th Season.
I liked seeing Tiffany-Amber Thiessen on MARRIED WITH CHILDREN before her SAVED BY THE BELL days and BEVERLY HILLS 90210 days, since they showed Tiffany Amber Thiessen as a guest star before she was even famous along with the fact that nobody knew that Tiffany-Amber Thiessen was going to become a co-star on SAVED BY THE BELL and BEVERLY HILLS 90210 when she guest starred on MARRIED WITH CHILDREN as Bud's prom date(Heather McCoy).
Therefore, seeing Tiffany-Amber Thiessen on MARRIED WITH CHILDREN was almost like seeing some casts colliding between SAVED BY THE BELL and MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, since seeing Kelly next to Heather McCoy on the Bundys was almost like watching the casts colide between Kelly Bundy(Christina Applegate) and Kelly Kopowski(Tiffani-Amber Thiessen) along with the fact that Christina Applegate was the hottest and best looking co-star on MARRIED WITH CHILDREN and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen was the hottest and best looking co-star on SAVED BY THE BELL.
I also liked the episode when Al(Edward O'Neill) fantasizes about himself being a James Bond type character hero in the episode when Al, Kelly, and Bud go to Las Vegas to track down Peggy(Kate Sagal) and Marcy(Amanda Bearse) after they ... Read More

Best all time family sit com. This show makes me laugh at every turn, I can watch it over and over and still laugh! Al Bundy is a hero for us all!
Rating:  - BAD BAD BAD
I am so tired of buying TV shows on DVD just to get the edited syndicated versions. The reason I bought this DVD set was for the Sam Kinison episodes Its A Bundyful Life. I have an old vhs tape of this show and have seen it dozens of times, I know most of the lines, so I could tell when lines were missing. I love the show and it deserves better treatment than this. How sad.
Rating:  - I began to notice a pattern here
The first three seasons were blissful on this show, but I began to notice one show in the third season that was showing cracks in the show. That episode was where Marcy, Peg, and Kelly went fishing with Steve, Al, and Bud, and all wound up having thier period at the same time. However, here it would start going downhill. After the season premire with the Labor Day cookout it got to the point where I knew that things were going to go pfft. I know the only other show on this season worth watching was where Steve left Marcy. The worst episodes were a tie between the rock video with the Gutter Cats, and when Peg and Marcy take the kids, and go to Vegas, and blow Al's money, and in order to have money to live off of Al has to fight the G.L.O.W. girls of wrestling. I found that rather degrading. I don't say this because I wanted to see more of Al degrading Peg and Marcy, but why does there have to be degrading anyway? I feel that it's a personal choice, and not a map to have your own way otherwise none of us would be married. This was a emasculated season where Al lost his manhood completely, and the women filled it with thier own selfish desires to get what they wanted, and screw Al. There was another episode that is worth mentioning as the episode that Peg is worried that Al's cheating on her. In the scene in the beauty salon one of the women screams out "Hey Everyone, Al's cheating on Peggy.", and then she goes back to business as usual, but don't be decieved she wet herself with sexual desire as gossip ...

Rating: - Phenomenal as always!
Given you can take the slightly sexist (well it is almost 20 years old...!) humor this is still one of the most amusing sitcoms ever made. The characterisations are spot on, wonderfully played by the actors & actresses involved, and the script is still as relevant as it was way back then (OK not cutting political satire but the attitudes displayed are perfect). Oh to be 17 again! Side-splitting stuff.
