This gritty FX drama follows the lives of a chapter of the Sons of Anarchy, an international outlaw motorcycle club akin to the Hell's Angels. The members all ride impressively customized Harleys, but the club is defined by more than just their bikes - they're also arms dealers, illegally importing guns, which they sell to the local street gangs. With a system of authority based on family lines, the dangerous drama of rotating relationships within the club carries powerful baggage, and with the club's ongoing feud with the meth-dealing white supremacist group the Nords, life as a Son of Anarchy is anything but an easy ride. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

If Damon Runyon, the author of the story on which The Three Wise Guys was based, were to summarize it, it might sound something like this: One December day around Christmastime I am in the city of Las Vegas talking to Harry the Horse about this and that, when I hear this yarn about a citizen by the name of Murray Crown (Tom Arnold), who runs a clip joint which he prefers to call a casino. It seems that this Murray Crown not only has the John Laws breathing down his neck, but it is also a fact that he is married to this doll called Shirley (Katey Sagal), who is known far and wide as the green-eyed type. In addition, it seems that there is another doll by the name of Mary Ann Davidson (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe), who has gotten herself in the family way courtesy of Murray, and who has taken a powder into the desert holding a computer disk containing the low-down on Murray's operation. These being the conditions that prevail, sweet Mary could very well send Murray up the river for a more than somewhat long semester. So Murray hires these three torpedoes called Joey (Eddie McClintock), George (Judd Nelson), and Vincent (Nick Turturro) to chase after Mary and button the doll's lip on a permanent basis....By the time this made-for-TV opus has galloped into the home stretch, it is a probable twelve to seven that Mary will have wrapped the three torpedoes around her little finger, and that a Merry Christmas will be had by all. Mooched from a story by Runyon from which an earlier theatrical feature had been sired way back in 1936, Three Wise Guys first showed up on the USA network menu on the evening of December 8, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Telecast seven years after the final first-run episode of Married. . .With Children, this 42-minute reunion special originally aired with a minimum of commercial interruptions. Christina Applegate (Kelly Bundy) gets things going with a brief rundown of the series' formative years. This is followed by individual interviews with the seven principal cast members: Ed O'Neill (Al Bundy), Katey Sagal (Peg Bundy) David Faustino (Bud Bundy), Amanda Bearse (Marcy Rhodes D'Arcy), David Garrison (Steve Rhodes) and Ted McGinley (Jefferson D'Arcy). Six of these seven actors are seen lounging around a replica of the "Bundy Living Room" set, much of which had to be reconstructed based on those actors' memories; Katey Sagal is filmed separately on the set of her then-current sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter. Amidst scores of classic clips from the original series, the actors dispense fascinating info-bites: For example, Ed O'Neill reveals that he based Al Bundy on his own uncle, while Katey Sagal describes the evolution of Peg's distinctive stiletto-heels walk. Also seen are a number of choice outtakes and deleted scenes. The coda is provided by David Faustino, bringing this entertainment retrospective to a conclusion that, like Married. . .With Children itself, manages to be both hilarious and iconoclastic. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
