ThiefHott Too much of everything

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Miss_MiChiMi This show was horrible. It was a direct clone of Married with Children, but in the place of Buck the dog, they had a stuffed animal voiced by Bobcat Golthwait. The first time I saw this, I was disgusted by how low the people who created this crappy show had stooped.I just could not believe that an obvious carbon copy show with extra crudeness and lewdness like this one had made it onto my television screen. Also, schizophrenia was obviously seen as comedic fodder, because the idea that a stuffed animal can give advice and be someone's best pal is psychotic if you ask me. This is another show that should be forgotten.

alvin_b_18 When "Unhappily Ever After" first began, I was hooked. I knew that it was similar to "Married With Children" but I didn't care. Why? Because the Malloy family seemed like an extreme sarcastic version of the Bundys...and I LOVED it.But then in season 2 the writers decided to have Jack move back in with Jenny and the kids. "OK," I thought, "that's not too bad." So I kept watching. Then in season 3 they killed off one of my favourite characters, Maureen. "All right," I thought, "now they're starting to go too far." Then in season 4 Jenny disappeared and the show more or less became "The Nikki Cox Show". That was when I stopped watching. I mean, I don't have anything against Cox as an actress, but I never cared for her character, Tiffany. And after season 3, as far as I was concerned, Tiffany "should have shut up and looked pretty". (To paraphrase Marcy from "Married With Children".) Because while she WAS beautiful, she was also very annoying. But they started to focus on Tiffany and ONLY Tiffany, although the show was supposed to be about Jack. Really, how many anorexia/smart-girl-can't-get-a-man jokes were we supposed to stand??? Tiffany just wasn't as funny as Jack, and her rants about her (lack of a) sex life and social issues got tired after a while.Oh well...all good things must come to an end. It's too bad "Unhappily Ever After" had to end on a low note.

kazan316 It's shows (reruns) like these that keep you watching the tube of wonders (televisions). I mean, if you ask me, 80% of all sitcoms these days suck, and try to hard for a laugh. Dharma & Greg...not funny, Will & Grace...not funny, anything aired on CBS...not funny. But FOX, now they know what they're doing. First of all they play reruns of this incredible show, but they don't stop with the comedy. Plus, they formed current greats like "The Simpsons" and "Malcolm In The Middle". (Might I add they air some of the best movies)This show is not a ripoff of "Married With Children", which might I say is a fine show, but just similar. In a way, any show can be compared to another being similar. I mean, can't you say "Married With Children" is a lot like "All In The Family", just dirtier. Take Al Bundy, hates the world and the world (as well as his family) hates him. Same with Archie Bunker. "Honeymooners" and the "Flintstones", "The Cosby Show" and "Family Matters", the "Brady Bunch" and "Step By Step", etc.So, for those of you who are still reading this, "Unhappily Ever After" may resemble "Married With Children", but who cares, watch it for the small differences.The father has a deadbeat job, but unlike Al, this guy hallucinates in his basement with a puppet (his alter ego) and I think he was divorced. Mr Floppy is hilarious, but I don't like Bobcat's voice. Then there's Tiffini (Nikki Cox) who just steals the show and unlike Kelly, she isn't a slut, and she's smart. Unlike Ryan, who can't score like Bud, but he's the stupid one. The mother wasn't as anxious as Peg, she was gone by the final season. Finally, there's Ross, who adds sidecracks, perhaps like Buck (or one of the other dogs), just not a dog.This was a WB show which got cancelled mid '99, thank god for FOX who still play reruns. Sadly enough at 12:30 in the morning.

jlapan It's true that the show is an obvious Married With Children ripoff. In fact, in one episode I specifically remember Ed O'Neill's (Al Bundy from Married With Children) name being mentioned. Nevertheless, the show is hilarious. Especially Mr Floppy.
