Season Eight of Married. . .With Children gets off to a roaring start as Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill) somehow manages to get hold of some tickets for an all-star charity basketball game. In the course of what follows, Al makes two mistakes: First, he allows Peggy to accompany him to the game; second, he changes seats with Peggy just as that selfsame seat is chosen for the $10,000 Grand Free Throw contest. Appearing more or less as themselves are NBA stars Vlade Divac, Clyde Drexler and Xavier "X Man" McDaniel, Chicago Bulls announcer Ray Clay, and most of the Bulls' cheerleading squad. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Set amidst the burgeoning Seattle alternative music scene of the early '90s, Singles follows a group of twentysomethings as they try to find love and try to come to terms with their passage into adulthood. Arranged as an episodic comedy, the film follows a group of friends who live in the same apartment building and hang out at the same coffee shop. The central couple is Steve Dunne (Campbell Scott) and Linda Powell (Kyra Sedgwick), a pair who meet at an Alice In Chains concert and eventually fall in love. Singles follows the tumultuous relationship between Steve and Linda and their friendship with Janet Livermore (Bridget Fonda), who is trying to win the affection of grunge-rocker Cliff Poncier (Matt Dillon). The film also has a number of cameos, including actors Eric Stoltz, Tom Skerritt, Peter Horton, director Tim Burton and the film's author/director, Cameron Crowe. From the musical side of the fence, Singles features appearances by Sub Pop executive Bruce Pavitt, musicians Chris Cornell (Soundgarden), Pat DiNizio (Smithereens), Tad (Tad), and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, and Stone Gossard, who play Dillon's backing band, Citizen Dick. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
