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

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This was one of the greatest t.v. shows of all time. Nikki Cox was brilliant in the show. The father and the sons were very entertaining as well with their wild and crazy antics. I loved every episode. It was very funny for sure. It also had plenty of eye candy. Someone needs to put this show to DVD ASAP. Does anyone have any idea if there are plans to do this? Maybe one day the television gods will come down from the heavens and bless the whole world with this show on DVD sometime within my lifetime. Every day seems like an endless eternity waiting for the day i might finally be able to buy this great television show on DVD. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this.

This show isn´t as deep as "Married With Children", where you could sometimes feel almost sad for Al or Bud. Al had his moments of tragic greatness, for example when he explained to a despondent member of his family that "We Bundys are losers, not quitters!". Who can forget the episode when he had been out-witted, out-manoeuvred and out-voted by the Ever Victorious Yuppies on the subject of the beer tax, and he inspired a crowd of fellow hoi polloi to a riot that saved the day. Bud was a deeper and richer character than Ryan, but at the same time also slightly tragic, because Bud was intelligent. ( "Ma, I made ´Dean´s List´!" "Well, that´s nice, honey. But who is Dean?" )Ryan Malloy is sufficiently unintelligent to be almost constantly cheerful. Jack Malloy´s cynism is usually more content and easy-going than Al Bundy´s. His solutions to problems and existential issues are corrupt and violent in a pleasant, simplifying manner.But the star of the show is without any doubt Mr Floppy, who makes the Killer Rabbit ( "Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail" ) seem like Barney the Dinosaur. "You hate hard, Mr Floppy. That´s one of the things I like best about you." How true! The character Mr Floppy truly followed the exhortation of Richard Nixon "to see it like it is, and tell it like it is". Unfortunately I don´t have the VCR necessary to get my floppyisms exactly right, otherwise I would immediately start adding to the quotation page. I will always think less of Drew Barrymore for choosing Tom Green when Mr Floppy was obsessed by her.

Not a great or even a very good Sitcom, "Unhappily Ever After"(1995) is a silly show that has its merits. What made the show watchable was the appearence of Nikki Cox who adds her own brand of Sexual Comedy. Not as good as "Married with Children" because in that show there was always the elment of surprise and the unexpected. Another favorite part of the show is Mr. Floppy, the alter ego of Jack Malloy. Geoffrey Pierson plays the same exact type of person that he played on "Grace Under Fire". "Unhappily Ever After" was at its best in the episodes that Kristanna Loken guest starred. Its too bad that she wasn't in more episodes for the show would be better for it.

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.
