Truly Dreadful Film

A Masterpiece!

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I really loved this show for the first couple seasons.While most people seem to think it's just a Married With Children rip-off, it's really very different considering it was created by the same person.For some reason they decided to start making changes and never explained anything.It wasn't so bad at first but when the stories started to get weaker the cast changes became very evident.The biggest mistake they made was having the grandmother leave and they didn't even bother to mention it, although they later joked about her going away.She was the funniest character on the show and the laughs got farther apart when she left.The show really started to suffer when they made it center around Tiffany.Somehow the smartest girl in school and her idiot brother ended up at the same college, very unbelievable, but the stories were just not good in general.Of course a show that could make so many major changes didn't care much about continuity and would often change or ignore history, something I have never cared for in sitcoms.Fortunately they make up for it by breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging they are on a TV show many times.The first three seasons are a must watch, be careful after that.

This is one of my top searches of all time in my quest to collect the very best glamorous DVDs, the glam in this case being ultra-sexy Tiffany a.k.a. Nikki Cox a.k.a. The Cool Long-Legged Redhead Sporting The Little Black Dresses. Wow! Okay, I'm a guy and guys are dogs, but wow! I can chase after that all day! Which, unfortunately is what I do seem to have been doing, having downloaded 99 episodes of AUF SCHLIMMER UND EWIG just to make up for its unavailability on DVD. And my knowledge of German is meager! Besides Nikki, there is Mr. Floppy, my all-time hero. The little guy tells it like it is. The referrals to pop culture is just the cherry on top! My vote for the funniest TV series ever! There should have been 300 episodes! And it should have been properly released on DVD!"Tiffany's Birthday" is a favorite that I managed to download in original English and it is absolutely hilarious with Mr. Floppy just getting nasty with that fluffy-white stuffed thingie, and Miss Cox absolutely great as always. I have to end on a sad note, though, for I'll never see my old favorite in its full glory ever again! Six years of searching! Non- responsive wild claims on the Net, German soundtracks and a few complete episodes interjected with weather reports, ads for all kinds of junk and little snippet pieces here and there with poor quality just doesn't cut it. To those who might own this on DVD: Treasure it! And hell, I'd buy it from you! Name your price!

What can I say? This sitcom was a complete bite-off of "Married... With Children", with a puppet to accompany to the show just like "ALF". Although, I must admit that Nikki Cox was the only reason I watched that show. Sure, Christina Applegate was sexy too, but no contest to Nikki! Another similarity is that the theme song is an actual oldies song (Ray Charles's "Hit The Road, Jack") while "Married... With Children's" theme song is the late Frank Sinatra's "Love & Marriage".

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.
