Eine schrecklich nette Familie

The first few seasons are very high quality, really funny with loads of great dialogs (mainly the exchanges between Al and Marcy D'Arcy), but unfortunately it gradually gets worse and worse, ending up in the deepest bogs of quality; too bad the creators didn’t quit when they were ahead, but instead made 200 episodes more than they should have... It got to the stage that the only positive aspect was the theme song sung by Sinatra. The same may be said of the actors too; only Christina visibly enjoyed her “dumb blond" performances much longer than the others. But at the start, all of them were excellent and there was some sort of “chemistry" between them. In this country it was all the more popular due to the splendid dubbing. (21.04.2022)

As a wiseman once said, the problem with satire is that there are too many idiots who take it as a validation of their way of life. Married with Children is brilliant swipe at the lifestyle of the lower middle class and gender stereotypes in particular. In later season, it is also ingeniously self-reflective and caricaturises not only the stereotypes of "the American way", but also the media pillars that shape it. (11.02.2016)

Sitcom designed for commercial television. In my opinion, it contains too cheap humor, and considering the exceptionally large number of episodes, it is diluted and its main elements are constantly recycled. It is based on cynical mockery and humiliation of other family members. The only valuable thing for me is the musical theme by Sinatra that accompanies the series. Overall impression: 35%.

Nein, nein und nein. Irgendwann habe ich dieser Sitcom mal einen Stern gegeben, weil sie mir wirklich schrecklich dumm vorkam. Es reicht, sich nur die erste Folge anzuschauen, um zu wissen, was in den Folgen danach wer sagen wird, welcher Witz und welche Anspielung kommen werden … Und da spreche ich noch nicht von dem peinlichen "Lachen“, das nach jedem "Witz“ eingespielt wird … Heute habe ich meine Bewertung auf unverfälschten Müll geändert. Warum? Ich habe nach langer Zeit mal wieder eine Episode gesehen und es war mir peinlich. (27.04.2009)
