13 hilarious episodes 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
This is one of my favorite comedy series. Although series 3 contains only 13 episodes, its absolutely worth buying it! The way it is made with all these flashbacks, makes it different and interessting from other comedy series. Its so funny to see how the parents react to their kids, remembering what they have done as teenagers, and often still behaving like teenagers themselfs. Can't wait for season 4 to be released!!!
Editorial Review:
13 COMPLETE EPISODES INCLUDING 2 NEVER SHOWN IN PRIMETIME! The Finnerty Family returns with an all-new season of trust, sharing, and the kind of behavior that often leads to arrests. Why does working class dad Sean (Donal Logue) have to wear a dress in front of truckers? How did hot mom Claudia (Megyn Price) become addicted to violent video games? Why is criminally minded Uncle Eddie (Kevin Corrigan) so excited about their new bar? What has out-of-control Lily (Lynsey Bartilson) done to her poor boyfriend-next-door Brad (Bret Harrison)? How will unruly boys Jimmy (Griffin Frazen) and Henry (Jake Burbage) survive a hot wings binge? And what really happens when you swallow a lizard? Includes 13 hilarious episodes - plus 2 that were never aired on the WB - featuring such guest stars as Richard Riehle, Mike Vogel, Wilmer Valderrama, Stephen Root, Miriam Flynn, Loudon Wainwright III, Curtis Armstrong and more

Best middle class show ever!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Best Buy already has this dvd out...exclusively. This has to be one of the realest middle class family show ever. This is real family working class situations. The actors just fit in with the characters. The best character has to be "Uncle Eddie". I think all middle class american families have a "Uncle Eddie" somewhere...I know I do. Why the network decided to cut the show beats me. You can relate with this show. Its not your fake bogus shows that nobody lives that way. Even though The Finnerty Family is Irish,it feels like any family can be like The Finnerty.
Funny! 5 out of 5 stars.

Ah, the show is freakin hilarious and has been for five seasons. I'm sad it's over.
Great Show 4 out of 5 stars.

This is one of my all time favorite shows for the simple reason of it's hilarious. My only regret is that it ended after five seasons cuz the network that owned it could have probably milked a few more seasons out of the actors. The show is also a great depiction of middle class family life that several shows boast of having but fall short of.

Editorial Review:
Grounded for Life was the indie film version of the family sitcom. Donal Logue, Kevin Corrigan, and Richard Riehle had all done time in plenty of independent productions before making the move to network TV. Sean Finnerty (Logue, The Tao of Steve) is a subway worker and wife Claudia (Megyn Price, Lateline) is a restaurant hostess. Their favorite band is the Ramones. The Staten Island-based couple started having children just out of high school (they're both 32). They aren't bad parents, but they're still just kids themselves. Aside from 14-year-old Lily (Lynsey Bartilson) and grade schoolers Jimmy (Griffin Frazen) and Henry (Jake Burbage), the Finnertys are joined by Sean's slacker brother, Eddie (Corrigan, Walking and Talking), and old school dad, Walt (Riehle, Office Space). Recurring characters include Brad O'Keefe (Bret Harrison), the boy next door (who harbors a not-so-secret crush on Lily), and Sister Helen (Miriam Flynn), St. Finian's take-no-prisoners principal. Standout episodes include "Jimmy Was Kung Fu Fighting" in which Jimmy makes like a pint-sized Jet Li--in his dreams (Grounded for Life makes frequent use of flashbacks and fantasy sequences)--and the Emmy-nominated "Mrs. Finnerty, You've Got a Lovely Daughter," in which Sean attempts to bribe Sister Helen on Lily's behalf. First year guests include The O.C.'s Adam Brody ("Action Mountain High") and That '70s Show's Danny Masterson ("Baby, You Can't Drive My Car"). Grounded for Life, which began life on Fox before moving to the WB, was created by 3rd Rock veterans Bill Martin and Mike Schiff, featured music by Ween, and was renewed for four more seasons. Fun fact: Every one of the 91 episodes, including the 20 on this collection, is named after a pop song ("In My Room," Devil's Haircut," "Dream On," etc.). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I miss this show! 5 out of 5 stars.

Great show! The WB should've stuck with it a little longer. It'd be pretty cool to have a reunion show with all the characters.
One of TV's most underrated shows 5 out of 5 stars.

This show is hysterically funny and it is consistent. There isn't a bad episode on any of the available DVD's. THe casting is perfect. All the characters contribute and all are funny and incredibly likable. If you haven't seen the show check it out. It's one of the best sitcoms ever that many have never heard of.
Great sitcom 5 out of 5 stars.

Well if you like me you did not find this show till you saw reruns of it on weekend mournings on ABC Family. It quickly became a mourning habit of watching and I totally digged the show. I loved the style they used in using flashbacks to tell what was going on. I was glad to see it was out on DVD its a fun show and the characters are funny as hell (Eddie is my personal fav) I even got the rest of my family on it. I dont know how this season compares to the rest but I'm very happy with my purchase

A good but under rated show 5 out of 5 stars.

Grounded for Life was a great show that lasted from 2000-2005. In 2003 the show moved from Fox to the WB network. Season four was the first full season shown on the WB. It consisted of 28 episodes because 6 episodes were left over from season three. However we can now enjoy them all on this new DVD set coming in November. I will now list the episodes.

All the young nudes- Sean and Eddie hire strippers for their bar. However the P.T.A. starts to protest.

Editorial Review:
Irish Catholic couple Sean and Claudia Finnerty live in Staten Island, New York, with their three children, Lily, Jimmy, and Henry. They get into all sorts of trouble, usually because of Sean's brother, Eddie, who's got connections all over town. Sean and Eddie's father, Walt, often drops by and shares in the disaster. Most adventures are later recalled and they find out exactly what happened, like when the family car was supposedly stolen or when Sean's credit card was mysteriously maxed out, and even when Sean causes a blackout on Super Bowl Sunday. All this and more, and because Sean and Claudia were young and carefree when they got married and had kids, they are now grounded for life, so to speak.
