Show Summary

  • Ended
Jack Malloy is the stressed-out and hallucinating father who works at a used car lot where his boss is his father in-law. Jennifer "Jennie" Malloy is the mother. She has little time for any of her kids or for her husband. Maureen Slattery is Jennie's mother (Jack's mother in-law). Ryan Malloy is the oldest son who is not too bright. Ryan is disliked by both parents; primarily, because he was conceived on their first date becoming the reason why they are all together in this mess and secondly, because he's stupid. Tiffany Malloy is the beautiful, smart daughter. She is envied by her mother and worshipped by her father who relishes her intelligence and her virginity. Ross Malloy is the youngest, forgotten child. He is of average intelligence but progressively develops a warped personality from the lack of any parental love. Mr. Floppy is a stuffed rabbit that Ross gave to Jack. After the stresses of separating from Jennie and having to leave his house, Jack begins to imagine Mr. Floppy is talking to him. Despite being a creation of Jack's own mind, Mr. Floppy shows Jack no more respect than anybody else does; but to Jack, Mr. Floppy becomes his best friend and faithful companion.moreless

    Definetly many simularities to Married With Children. The attractive woman married to the below average working man, the overly attractive daughter, and the son that\'s mostly ignored by both parents, the youngest son with warped personality, and the wise cracking animal.

    The differences, the daughter is smart in this one and the parents both like her, the youngest son in this show is ignored mostly rather then being smothered with attention, and the animal is a talking stuffed animal that actually comunicates directly with a human character rather than a dog who\'s inner thoughts are occasionally shared with the audience.

    It has it\'s moments that are very funny, mostly when Mr. Floppy is insulting Jack or playing dead when Jack tries to show him to other people. Something to watch if you need a laugh and happen to find it on tv, not something I\'d set aside time to watch week after week, or spend much money on to see again.moreless

  • This Series is nothing more than a bad copy of "Married With Children". That's all, folks!

    This Series is nothing more than a bad copy of "Married With Children" - copiyng the whole style of a poor, disfunctional family, including the family members:
    al bundy => jack maloy, (a father, is a joke for the kids)
    Peggy => jenny maloy (his wife)
    Kelly Bundy => Tiffany Maloy (older sexy sister)
    Bud Bundy => Ryan Maloy (younger brother, in vain trying to get chicks)
    Seven => Ross Maloy (the youngest brother)

    additional to this The Bundies had a pet - a dog.
    the writers of UEA replased it by a talking puppet - bad try to become original.

    i watched 10-20 episodes because of Nikki Cox and her yummi-yummi body... till i can't watch this fake-show anymore.

    THis show is crap, Al Bundy for ever.moreless

  • Unhappily Ever After is great and unique! Only those who never actually watched it dare to say it’s a copy of Married… With Children!

    Only those who never actually watched it dare to say it's a copy of Married With Children! Unhappily Ever After is enjoyable politically incorrect. And Mr. Floppy the one true star of the show has such a philosophical gift. Well, not concerning ancient greek history but rather pop culture, stardom and television itself. That's another point I love of the show: It crosses the line between being a show and making a show. Like when Tiffany and Ryan try to run from the WB-Logo in the corner of the screen or when Ross is told by Jack to step back because his storyline wouldn't be told in this episode.
    Actually, Unhappily Ever After is probably more intelligent than its critics will ever realize
