MARRIED WITH CHILDREN 1987-1997 (SONY)

Simply one of the best shows ever produced for TV.

Ed O' Neill stars as Al Bundy, a shoe salesman in Chicago with a wife named Peg (Katey Sagal) who is under sexed and lazy, a son named Bud (David Faustino) who has problems with women and a promiscuous daughter (Christina Applegate) with one brain cell named Kelly.

There are far too many episodes to go into detail on, but over the years there were a lot of guests including Tim Conway, Linda Blair, Pamela Anderson and Vanna White, just to name a few. The Bundy's also had neighbors Marcy and Steve Rhodes (Amanda Bearse and David Garrison) and later Marcy and Jefferson Darcy (Amanda Bearse and Ted McGinley).

The funniest episode in all 11 years was the one where Vanna White played an executive whom Al had know in high school, and she still wanted him as her sex toy. I can honestly say I have never laughed so hard in my life.

TV today is a quagmire of American trash parading across the screen who are both ugly and have absolutely NO talent whatsoever. This show is from the latter days when TV still had a few things entertaining to watch. If you want good laughs I think you should watch all 11 seasons and forget your problems for a while.

I used to actually live this life and most of what happens in the show is dead on target.
