Purely Joyful Movie!

Absolutely Fantastic

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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!

This show was horrible. It was a direct clone of Married with Children, but in the place of Buck the dog, they had a stuffed animal voiced by Bobcat Golthwait. The first time I saw this, I was disgusted by how low the people who created this crappy show had stooped.I just could not believe that an obvious carbon copy show with extra crudeness and lewdness like this one had made it onto my television screen. Also, schizophrenia was obviously seen as comedic fodder, because the idea that a stuffed animal can give advice and be someone's best pal is psychotic if you ask me. This is another show that should be forgotten.

I have watched a few episodes of this show on late night syndication, and I found myself in the odd position of being intrigued and disappointed at the same time.The show revolves around the type of family that inhabited pre-"Ally McBeal" Fox Channel shows. We have the stereotypical wife who loves to shop and think illogically. We have the son who can only rely on his hand to console him. We have the daughter who inspires the laugh track to go nuts with wolf whistles just by stepping out onto the stage.When these characters are around, the show has two modes: predictable and offensive. We see that the son is going to get slapped in the face by the popular girl at school, and we wonder where the humor is in him accidentally killing the mailman (who we find out later is his actual father).The show takes a slightly more interesting turn, though, in its central character. The father. In other shows, the father has been the most logical figure of the household. He is the one that holds the insanity together. In "Unhappily Ever After", however, the twist is that the father is the crazy one. A couple of times each episode, he sits down on the couch and gets half-assed advice from Mr. Floppy, a hallucination of a stuffed bunny that he had in his childhood.This part of the show is where I get intrigued. This is an interesting and original idea, with numerous possibilities. Unfortunately, the writers don't know what to do with it, and consequently let the idea become the joke. Mr. Floppy (who is given life thanks to voice-over king Bobcat Goldthwait) has no other purpose in the show than to tell crude jokes and brag about his charm.It is a shame to see such an idea go to waste. "Unhappily Ever After" had the potential to be one of the most original comedies of the 90's, and instead turned into a cheap and predictable retread of the "Married With Children" formula.
