Married... With Children

Married...With Children is a comedic sitcom following the dysfunctional Bundy Family of Al, Peggy, Bud, Kelly and dog Buck, which pushed the boundaries of taste when it premiered in 1987. Al, the father, is a down on his luck former high school football star turned woman's shoe salesman. He feels as if his life is cursed and is terrified of his wife's sexual advances. Peggy, the mother, refuses to cook or clean and instead spends Al's money at the mall and the hair salon. Bud, the son, is focuses solely on "scoring" with the ladies and is usually hatching up schemes to achieve his goal. Kelly, the daughter, is a beautiful party animal without a shred of intelligence. This dysfunctional family defined crude and the jokes reflected it. The Bundy's were close to their neighbor Marcy Darcy, whose hateful relationship with Al was a consistent source of humor. She had two husbands on the show, Steve and Jefferson, and as a successful businesswoman, provided a foil to the vapid and crude nature of the Bundys. Other prominent characters included Griff, Al's coworker at the women's shoe store who could commiserate with Al about his job, usually at the nearby strip club. Frank Sinatra performs the show's famous theme of "Love and Marriage". Married...With Children stars Ed O'Neill, Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate, David Faustino, and Amanda Bearse. MORE
