Married with Children - The Complete Eleventh Season DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It’s time to spend one last season with the Bundys! The Complete Eleventh Season of Married... With Children brings the final 24 episodes of the long-running sitcom that helped build the fledgling Fox TV network. After quite a few temporary cast shakeups and additions in the earlier seasons, the series gets back to the Bundys and the D’Arcys as they try to make it through life being married, and in the case of the Bundys, with children.

The series was not quite the powerful series it had previously been, however. At the beginning of the eleventh season, the series moved from the Sunday night lineup where it had been a mainstay to the Saturday night lineup... where it ended up staying for a whole month before moving back to Sunday nights (though in the Fox 7:30 death slot). By the eleventh season, the series had finally fully evolved from being an almost realistic portrayal of a dysfunctional family to a cartoonish series that focused on outlandish problems with very unfortunate results. Still, this evolution helped to make the series, at times, funnier than it had ever been, and made it stand out from other series on the air at the time. So you will only come to this conclusion: it is time for a few last laughs from one of the first truly dysfunctional families of television.

The Desperate Half-hour and How to Marry a Moron, which were the last episodes to be made, originally aired as a one-hour episode, so I think we can count those as edited episodes.

Final season was one of the best. The only seasons I don't really get into that much are the first few.
