? on Married With Children Season 1 vs. Outrageous 1 & 2
I have a question concerning the above releases. I had asked for "Married With Children Season 1" for Xmas. Unfortunately Season 1 could not be found at any local B&M stores  . The gift giver (my mother-in-law, who is very good to me) was told that purchasing "Outrageous Episodes 1 & 2" would be almost the same thing (which I know is not tue).
Here lies my problem. Should I keep Outrageous Episodes and look to purchase Season 1 when available OR return Vols 1 & 2 in exchange for Season 1? Obviously, there are benefits to owning both collections but what is the overlap of episodes contained on Season 1 and the Outrageous Episodes?

There is no overlap between episodes. Neither of the 2 "best-ofs" contains season 1 episodes. The only advantage of having the 2 "best-ofs" is to have episodes that won't be released in the season sets for some time yet (if ever). Otherwise, I'd say return them for Season 1, which includes the recent 45-minute reunion special as an extra.

Scott,
Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'll just keep them and pick up Season 1 on my own. Like you said, who knows if anything more will be released from this show.

Not true. "Have you driven a Ford lately" is on one of the Best Of discs. Also, I read here that it's cut because they used the sydicated version, whereas the version on the Season 1 release is complete.

If you're a big fan of the show, then that's what I would suggest. Since it cost you nothing to own these best-ofs, and since they contain many fun eps that you won't get on DVD any other way for a long time, then it's worth it for the supermarket 2-parter ("You Better shop Around" on Volume 1) alone!

Thanks, Dave. I was waiting to see how long it would take for you to respond, knowing how big a fan of the show you are.
I'm a little disappointed that they didn't release the Christmas episode w/Sam Kinnison. This was one of my favorites.

Oops. I read through the list of episode titles on the 2 discs at Amazon, and didn't recognize any of them as being from season 1 - didn't realize that was the episode where they bought the car.
Sorry for the incorrect info, John. |

How did the S1 set sell? I heard a few people couldn't even find it in some stores because they weren't stocking it.
