Storyline

This version of E! True Hollywood Story reflects on the rebald sitcom "Married...With Children". Interviewed are the creators Ron Leavitt and Michael G. Moye who talk about how they worried about pushing the envelope and how the network Fox had just been created in 1986 and how two different people originally received the roles for Kelly and Bud but they didn't work out so they got Christina Applegate and David Faustino. Also discussed is the episode where Steve and Al hunt for a bra for Peg and a whiny female viewer of the episode was offended. Also discussed was the episode "I'll See You in Court" that was not allowed to air because of it's explicit content. The cast is also interviewed, and recall how they were oblivious to the fact that Married...With Children was cancelled in 1997 and they discuss a final episode they would've liked to do.

An excellent documentary...

If you want to know anything about MwC, then this documentary will plug all the gaps in your knowledge. The program unfolds the whole story, from beginning conception right through to the somewhat unsatisfactory cancelling of the show. It follows the trials and tribulations of the cast and writers and there's a long section on the efforts of one idiotic woman to get the show cancelled early.

Of particular interest is seeing how the actors are in real life as opposed to how the act on screen. Oh, that and finding out such snippets of information as what the original title of "The Camping Show" episode was, or what Al really thinks PMS stands for.

All in all, highly recommended for fans of the show.
