Married... with Children (TV Series) Blonde and Blonder (1995) User Reviews

One of the funniest later episodes

[gridoon2024 · 8/10 · 17 August 2016]

It's true that seasons 9 and 10 of "Married With Children" have their ups and downs (they are never less than entertaining, but sometimes less than inspired), but "Blonde And Blonder" is one of the funniest and most successful episodes from this period of the show (partly because "No Ma'am" are nowhere to be seen). The highlight is probably Kelly's chemistry with her equally addle-brained (and equally hot! - there is some prime eye candy in this episode) friends; for example, they write letters to each other, but they don't send them, they wait to give them to each other when they meet in person! But there is also a playfulness, a childishness, a lack of cynicism in this episode in the Al-Peggy-Marcy-Jefferson scenes; when they start shooting each other with toy guns, they genuinely seem to be enjoying themselves. Have I forgotten Bud? Well, he gets his triumph, too. *** out of 4.

Revenge of the Nerds

[arthur_nonimus · 29 September 2011]

Years ago Kelly was asked out by the biggest nerd in school, Eric Waters. 'Even the tape on his glasses had acne', as Kelly would later describe him. So she told him to wait for her, stripped to the buff, on top of the Sears Tower on the coldest night of the year. Hypothermic and frost bitten he had to have one of his toes amputated.

Five years later at their re-union a hansom rich man introduces himself to the girls sitting around a table and reveals himself to be none other than the former nerd Eric 'Nine-Toes' Waters. But his revenge is not to simply rub his good looks and 10 million dollar fortune in Kelly's face. His plan is a little more devious, and with Bud's help, he turns the tables on the girls of his youth.

This episode also includes toys, braces, hickeys and even a flying Mr Potateo Head. This is one of the funniest episodes of the series, a true classic.

Kelly gets what's coming courtesy of Casper.

[BA_Harrison · 9 January 2023]

Kelly and her high-school pals get together for their post-graduation five year reunion dance. There, they spot a handsome young man (Casper Van Dien) who turns out to be Eric Waters, the nerd that Kelly humiliated by standing him up, leaving the guy waiting in the buff at the top of the Sears Tower on the coldest night of the year. Fellow nerd Bud helps Eric to get revenge, while getting even himself with Kelly's mean friend Ashley.

While the goings-on at the dance are reasonably amusing, largely thanks to the stupidity of Kelly and her friends, it is Al, Peggy, Marcy and Jefferson who provide the biggest laughs with their thoughts while playing Bottoms Up (Twister): Al has his hand on Jefferson's butt ("I'm touching Peg's rear and for once it feels pretty good!"), Jefferson likes Al's touch ("He's not as strong as Marcy, but he knows what I like."), Peggy is enjoying herself ("This game is just like sex, except I have a partner."), but Marcy isn't happy (No-one's touching my rear and it's way, way up in the air.").

soundtrack

Does anyone know the name of the song when Bud and Kelly are "slowdancing"? At the schoolparty, where Bud tried to trick Kelly into a false date. Where Kelly does not want to be touched by Bud.
