Grounded for Life: Season 3 (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the third season, Grounded For Life found itself going from Fox to the WB. It was a messed up season in that 3 episodes aired on Fox and 8 on the WB. But this 2 DVD set will contain 13 episodes. So you'll get to see 2 episodes that never aired on either network.
There will also be commentary tracks on 6 of the episodes so we'll get the inside tales of what went on during the season the show jumped networks. Lily and Sister Helen will be speaking.
Even though ABC Family Channel reruns the show, I enjoy them better on DVD - especially since I don't have to watch 10 minutes of ads to get through each episode. It's a shame that Sundance or IFC doesn't rerun the show because Donal and Kevin make this an Indie Film Sitcom.

Grounded for Life - Season One (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I always liked this one. It was quite a funny show whose ratings didn't reflect how good it was. In it's rookie season, it was good, but as each season progressed, I think it got better. My favourite character is Eddie who comes across as a dark, moody, brooding and mysterious guy, who is actually a puppy dog. The kids are great and the parents are fun. What this show does in each and every episode, is have flashbacks. The story lines always have a reason to go back in time and explain how a particular situation occured. The Finnerty's are the fun kind of family we all wish we were a part of. Through all the teasing and fighting, you know they love each other. This is a keeper, and I'm sorry it was cancelled. As I said earlier; ratings don't always proove how good a show can be, and this is a classic example. A terrific sitcom that will keep you laughing.

Grounded for Life: Season 2 (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The seasons of Grounded for Life are kind of a mess. The last five episodes of season one weren't run until season 2. But they are included on Season 1. For season 2, 17 new episodes were produced. This was also their last complete season on Fox as the third season had them swap over to the WB after only 3 episodes. This is one of those shows that deserves a DVD release since it was nearly impossible to follow the show when it was broadcast. Donal Logue was one of the great TV dads - he was like Robert Young - if Robert had knocked up his wife in high school and pretty much went from teenager to dad without getting to enjoy his misspent college years.
The episode on the set include:
Don't Let Me Download
Bang on a Drum
Smoke on the Daughter
I Saw Daddy Hitting Santa Claus
We Are Family
Mr. Roboto
Don't Fear the Reefer
Take It to the Limit
Eddie Said Knock You Out
Safety Dance
Relax!
The Kids Are Alright
Swearin' to God
Eddie and This Guy with Diamonds
I Fought the In-Laws
Dust in the Wind
Oops!...I Did It Again
The bonus features on this 3 DVD collection include:
Bloopers
"From Ashes To Ashton": An Interview with Ashton Kutcher
"Kevin Corrigan: He Ain't Eddie, He's My Brother": A Brand New Interview with Kevin Corrigan ("Eddie")
"Sibling Revelry": Interviews with Jake Burbage ("Henry") and Griffin Frazen ("Jimmy")
