Gourt Home::Gourt :: Unhappily Ever After
Unhappily Ever After (shortened to Unhappily... in promotional advertisements) was an American sitcom that aired 100 episodes on The WB network from 1995 to 1999. The show was about Jack Malloy, a father overstressed from his miserable job as a used car salesman, and his dysfunctional family that consisted of Jennie, a sex-crazed wife who divorced him and moved out (after being killed off and brought back to life); Tiffany, a skimpy-dressing but overachieving daughter; Ryan, an idiot son; Ross, the younger, usually ignored son; and Mr. Floppy, a smoking, drinking, and perverted gray stuffed animal rabbit located in the basement, that only Jack sees (most likely as a result of his schizophrenia; a main part of the show is Jack consulting Mr. Floppy for advice). This show is known by many to be a takeoff of The FOX network's hit Married... with Children because the characters are very similar, however Married... with Children was much more extreme in sexual themes and humor, though they were both co-created by writer Ron Leavitt and shared several writers.
The show was sold into syndication for the 2000-01 season, but was not re-offered the following fall due to lackluster clearance rates and low ratings. It has been off the air in America ever since, though it was shown on the UK channel abc1 between 2004 and 2005.
