This is a recap page for the Russian remake of Married... with Children, Happy Together.

The first three seasons are actually referred to in official press releases as "maxi-seasons", considering their length. Despite each season taking place over multiple years in-universe, the series is Frozen in Time, and every episode takes place in the year when it premiered.

While the first three seasons are remakes of Married... with Children episodes, the fourth, fifth and sixth seasons consist of entirely new episodes.

    Season 1 (2006) 

The first maxi-season includes remakes of episodes from Married... with Children seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4, with several omissions. While shooting the remakes of season 5 episodes, the actress portraying Dasha became pregnant, and so the show jumped to remaking episodes from early season 6 instead of continuing with season 5.

Among these episodes, "The House That Peg Lost"/"Gena is On Fire" had a significant rewrite, and the following episodes were not adapted at all: "Guys and Dolls", "I'm Going to Sweatland", "A Dump of My Own", "The Computer Show", "We'll Follow The Sun" and "Wabbit Season".
