The Best O' Bundy


The Best O' Bundy: Married with Children's 200th Episode Celebration
 
(Sun. (5), 8:30-9:30 p.m., Fox) 2/7/95
 

Prior to the much-hyped 200th episode, Fox offered a succinct
half-hour teaser of sound bites from the show's beginnings in 1987
until the present, hosted in a mock-pompous manner by author George
Plimpton.

Host: George Plimpton.
Unbelievably, implausibly, the most anti-institutional sitcom ever
devised has become an institution itself -- the longest-running such
show on the air. And "Married ... With Children" hasn't lost an iota
of its wickedly irreverent edge; everyone was in rare form for its
200th episode.

The seg offered hilarious proof that this cast and production team are
still on their toes, and can deliver fresh variations on their
characters' quirks and frustrations at will.
