Married with Children - Seasons 3 &

As a long-time fan of Married with Children, I've already purchased all the previous box sets Sony has released over the years of the eleven season run, however, as many know, most of those came with issues. In particular, from season three onward, the iconic theme song "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra was replaced by generic instrumental music for budgetary reasons, and certain episodes of season four were presented in heavily edited syndication format. Thankfully, Mill Creek Entertainment has licensed the rights to the show, and are now gradually releasing the seasons fully uncut with original theme song music intact. I was very pleased to see even "It's a Bundyful Life" with the lost Bundy snow cone scene intact amongst other classic moments.All that being said, this particular set is still not great by any means. I think my biggest issue stems from the picture quality, which is really a mixed bag overall. Granted, Married with Children isn't exactly the type of show known for being visually dazzling, like most sitcoms of the era it was shot on video as opposed to film. However, Mill Creek's presentation of the episodes is still rather inconsistent, some episodes look respectable while others appear far too soft or rather questionable in other ways. I'm not sure if the slightly cramped disc format (11 to 12 episodes on each) is to blame for this, but upon comparing the episodes to the Sony versions, Sony was much more consistent and commendable.If you're a fan of the show and have already purchased seasons three and four from Sony, I would still recommend this set for completest reasons. It is both inexpensive and compact and also provides uncut presentations for all episodes. I would still hold onto the old sets though, as those video presentations are indeed a little bit better.

this set has both its ups and downs, on the plus side it has the original opening credits song that was taken out on the last release of the separate season 3 and season 4 sets, on the down side the opening credits don't match up correctly and the door clank that you should hear right in the beginning when the title appears doesn't happen until you get up to Katie sagal (which given the show actually makes it a bit more funny) also the discs are only labeled disc 1 and disc 2 there is nothing to separate the 2 seasons other then for fans to know the "lost episode" from season 3 is labeled on the front of the disc, quality wise the show isn't upconverted in any way what so ever so its still the same set but condensed from 6 disc of the 2 seasons into a small 4 disc set, packaging is all 4 discs in one spindal so do yourself a favor and get a 4 disc box to make them last longer, one other thing is that the episodes aren't in original air date order the biggest break on this is in season 4 when steve leaves marcy 2 episodes later hes back in the show like nothing happened yet when we all know hes gone already, all in all a better season set for your money and the correct song to boot, down side is the packaging and the fact the song doesn't match up in the opening. well worth it to reduce clutter on collection shelves

I've been a Bundy fan since it was actually on TV (although, in my opinion the show became very poor after about season 5, and especially after season 6). I videotaped all the shows from seasons 1 - 4 and my wife and I watched the tapes over and over again. We thought it was great when the series was finally released on DVD, and now we own seasons 1 - 6, plus season 8 (because of "The D'Arcy Files," "The Worst Noel," and "How Green Was My Apple"). It's always annoyed us that Sony replaced Sinatra's "Love and Marriage" with generic instrumental crap, as well as giving us edited versions of episodes like Jim Jupiter and 2-part xmas. So now, we finally have unedited seasons 3 and 4 with Frank's song. I can't see anything "out of sync" with the opening song (no disrespect intended to the viewer who could), it seems to begin and end as it should. And I thought the picture was fine. So, for me, this is absolutely wonderful -- the real Bundys, uncut, with the real song.

well it has 4 dvd's however they are cheaply put in the box, there is no divider,they are just stacked together,they had a few scratches,not on the dvd itself just around the hole on the back, which is not good cuz i ordered them new,of course seeing as how they didn't stack them right it was a good possibility,you are not supposed to stack dvd's picture to bottom as it can scratch them. they are somewhat cheaply labeled as well, while it does give you the names of the episodes on front, an says disc one and two, it has nothing to suggest which season it is,i guess i'll just have to look it up, cuz the description may be wrong on here also since it was bad packaging

Love Married with children all of them and this is a great two seasons for them. I'm getting the whole series now that their remaking them with two seasons at a good price every few months or so. The video and sound are good at least to me it seems fine, now a days there's always complainers. Their single sided too a plus none of this flip the disc and scratch up one side always it seems like house md season one. I recommend this for gentle comedy and good laughs at a group of lovable characters who all add to the story in their own way.

My only problem with this purchase is that the four discs are stacked on on top the other and when I tried to take the top disc off to watch it the disc cracked in half. So the way the manufacturers packaged these is awful. I cannot watch the first 11 episodes now since the disc is ruined. I won't buy anymore of these. I've loved this show since childhood but I won't rick wasting my money and possibly breaking another disc due to the poor packaging.

ill Creek put the original theme music back on the episodes, but when season 4 kicks in you realize it is a copy + paste job from season 1. The WITH CHILDREN clang does not sync with the s4 credits, and the end clang sounds wrong to the ear.As for the show itself, seasons 3 & 4 of MWC are two of the best. Why this show is not on BluRay is beyond me

Funny show love my married with children

Good condition, nice price and fast delivered, GOTTA LOVE IT!! :)

Classic tv show a must have...quick delivery from US

It's great to watch a comedy series many years later that is still LOL funny. So many do not age well but MWC certainly did. I was so happy to find these two seasons as a set and at a great price. IMO the episodes, Eating Out and Tooth or Consequences are THE funniest of the whole series. They are both in this set. If you need a real laugh, this should do the trick!😏Sound and picture quality were both fine.Packaging ok but I wish the discs were in separate sleeves not stacked together.Helpful votes are always appreciated.😏

It is still the best series ever shown on TV
