Summary: A Bundyful Christmas Classic
Comment: Marrried With Children, what a great sitcom and then some! Some people hated this show as a salute to disfunction, BUT there is a lot more truth in their episodes than many people want to aknowledge.
Here we have a Bundy take on "It's A Wonderful Life", it's Christmas eve and with Peggy and kids off to Denny's for their annual Christmas Eve feast, Al has a rare moement of clarity, wishing he could give his family more and thinking that they would be better off without them.
Enter the late Sam Kinison, as the Angel. The Angel shows Al what his family would be like at Christmas without him. We see Peggy, dressed as a Donna Reid clone, baking Christmas cookies, Kelly returns home for the holidays from her studies, dressed in preppy clothing (to put it midly), and not worring about her lack of a sex life. Bud dressed to the nines, plays the ultimate ladies man. Ted McGinley plays their father, and for Christmas he announces he had bought them a new house as the ultimate present. Al's take on this?, he wisely asks, "can you taste the bile".
Happily all was a dream, and when Al wakes up his dejected family returns, unable to have taken in Denny's cuisine as the prices went up.
All is right in Bundyville!

Summary: It's A Bundyful Christmas!
Comment: This episode of Fox's Married..With Children is a true Christmas classic. It first aired on December 24,1989(not the 17th as stated on tv.com). Steve Rhoades(David Garrison) spends the holidays with his widowed mother. She came to get him via taxicab from her Cincinatti home! So his wife Marcy(Amanda Bearse) spends Christmas alone. Marcy is "getting down" at the Christmas Eve party at the bank where she works as a drive-thru window teller,her demotion from accountant. After patriarch Al Bundy(Ed O'Neill) receives a shock from a faulty live wire from his Christmas light set,he falls asleep and dreams what life would be like if he were dead. In the dream sequence,a guardian angel(the late great Sam Kinison) shows Al what is happening in his wife Peg's(Katey Sagal)(fictitious)second marriage. Peg married a sophisticated man named Norman Jablonski(guest star and future MWC cast member Ted McGinley). Daughter Kelly(Christina Applegate) and son Bud(David Faustino) are college students. Take note of how all four are dressed in 1950's fashions. "I want my family back!",exclaims a desperate Al. Also,at the shoe store where Al works and manages as well,he entertains an army of young children,only for them to be met with disappointment. Their parents pay for them to be babysat and are later refunded. This episode is from Married...With Children-The Complete Fourth Season in two parts. This episode had a special closing montage. Instead of Al and Peg sitting on their living room sofa,we see a night scene of the Bundy house with a snow-covered ground and we hear IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS performed by an unknown ensemble. McGinley, of Happy Days fame,joined MWC in late 1990,playing Jefferson D'Arcy,who would become Marcy's second husband(her marriage to Steve ended in sudden divorce). Another episode similar to this is YOU BETTER WATCH OUT from 1987. In that episode,Santa Claus is found dead in the Bundys' backyard.

Summary: Everytime A Shoeman Cries, An Angel Gets....
Comment: This homage - of -sorts to the Jimmy Stewart classic is already a classic of its' type. With a shock to his system, Al awakens to find an angel - his angel, who has been called to help Al decide if his " loved ones " would be better off without him, if he had never been born. With anger, angst and humor, The Angel ( Sam Kinison ) arrives, not without his own issues and proceeds to give Al a look of how life might have been. Peggy somehow became a Leave It To Beaver style mom, complete with apron and french Twist...Bud, a sweater and tie wearing geek who has become almost courtly and Kelly - a plaid skirt and ponytailed Virgin Barbie. Did Peggy Sue get married ? You bet your Bundy she did, but to a handsome man who lifts them all from drudgery and middleclass living to life in a mansion. The lucky husband later was signed to the show as jefferson D'Arcy - also known as Mr Marcy. Here, he is somewhat of a snob, but loving the family. Obviously, Al comes to a few self - realizations and makes the decision of a lifetime. OK, it ain't Shakespeare, but it is a welcome respite from the usual holiday fare.

Summary: Bundyfully Outrageous
Comment: I grew up watching Married with Children and was very disappointed when the show ended. I was grateful to watch reruns on late night television until recently time slots changed and I am no longer able to watch. Thus I begun my search to find the series to purchase as many other shows such as Friends and Little House on the Prairie have come out with, but found bitter disappointment in the realization that there are no season's available for purchase. Then in my search I stumbled across this classic episode and purchased it on the spot. It is outrageously funny, the only thing I still could want is the entire series!!
