British Family React! Best Bundy-isms | Married With Children!

[@kovacs88]

This was one of the first sitcoms that was just made to be funny, without some underlying wholesome message.

[@Kojak024]

It was made to be the anti Cosby show

[@DLites151]

And that's aged so well@@Kojak024

[@michlo3393]

Good point, Seinfeld is often credited as the first sitcom without a moral compass but Married With Children beat it by 2 years!

[@shadowprince4482]

Golden Girls was pretty similar. In the pilot they had a flamboyant Puerto Rican guy but Sofia was so funny that they ditched his character after the first episode. They did have a few episodes with wholesome messages but not many. Most were just meant to be funny. Each character was a lot different than the others and their chemistry is what made it funny.

[@michlo3393]

@@shadowprince4482 that was a great show.

[@Ameslan1]

Married with Children is one of my FAVORITE comedy shows ever. For British comedies, my favorite was "Are You Being Served?" a low-brow common humor show about staff working at a Department store during the 1970s

[@KamiNoBaka1]

I remember watching Are You Being Served? on PBS as a kid and liking it. Red Dwarf has always been my favorite British sitcom, though.

It's funny how the actress that played Peg Bundy also did the voice for Lela on the animated series Futrarama. Married with Children is returning as an animated series with the original cast doing their character's voices.

[@KamiNoBaka1]

Wait, really? Imma have to check out that animated version.

Viewing their Christmas episode, "You Better Watch Out" every Christmas, is a family tradition. Their best episode and highly quotable. The title card states "The following depicts a Bundy Christmas. It could be upsetting to small children and others. Parental guidance is suggested." Classic.

[@krisa990]

Yes,very funny..please do more Married with children clips :)

[@Tbone1492]

This show is hysterical 😅

[@ElectricSoulShow]

This is the greatest comedy show ever to come out of America - HANDS DOWN. Everyone loved this show - Men, Women - BLACK OR WHITE - IT IS LOVED IN MOST OTHER COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. This was America's greatest-ever TV SITCOM. You need to watch - Al Bundy v Marcy - Wonderful

[@ltcajh]

"If Al Had a Hammer", "The Ferguson Toilet", "Kelly, the Weather Girl", "No Ma'am", and, "Psycho Dad" were my favorites.

[@theultrawarrior7448]

This was thee greatest show/sitcom, and funniest of all time. Blessings

[@KamiNoBaka1]

They actually tried making a British version of this titled Married for Life, it lasted one 7-episode season. You can find clips from it online, though I haven't found a full episode. Only name in the cast I recongize is Rob Bryden, but I'm American so I don't know British TV personalities too well.

[@carls1959]

This was my favorite show from back in the day. My favorite Alism was when Peggy thought he was cheating on her. He said "Peg, what have I always told you? Why go out for milk, when you're got a cow at home?"

[@SherriLyle80s]

All In The Family was very similar and the precursor to Married With Children.

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

Someone from India told me this show taught him English, I didn't doubt him 😂

[@frankisfunny2007]

I remember an episode where Al noticed his car was nearing a million miles. His car was an early 1970s Dodge Dart. I believe Fox, who aired Married With Children initially, had a partnership with Daimler-Chrysler (Chrysler now aligned with Fiat). Chrysler offered Al to hit the 1,000,000 mile mark, and the Bundys would win a brand new Dodge Viper. It was called "Get Outta Dodge", and it was released in February of 1994.

[@KamiNoBaka1]

Funny thing is his actual car seen in the show isn't a Dodge at all, it's a Plymouth Duster.

[@theultrawarrior7448]

I remember every single episode by heart. I remember all falling asleep after staying up so long in his hand accidentally shifted to neutral in the car rolled out of the garage. Hey then said at the end that he was going to come back home until he hits another million, "and then the Viper will be mine! You hear me? Mine, mine, mine!"😅

[@rmweidner7596]

At the time that "Married: With Children" was made, most American family sitcoms were the type where the father knew best, the mother was wholesome and loving, and the kids occasionally had problems but the family sorted things out by the end of each show. The most typical of these was "The Cosby Show", and "Married: With Children" was originally known as "Not The Cosbys" before it aired. This show was intended to not only be funny, but also to make fun of all those other shows. Also, Ed O'Neill has said that his portrayal of Al Bundy was based on one of his uncles, who was a judge. The way Ed described this uncle was as follows: "My uncle was, like, resigned; life was going to be bad. So it would be, like, he'd get home from work and he'd come in the house and my aunt (his wife) would say, 'Joe, I ran over the dog in the driveway and he's dead,' and Joe would say, 'What's for dinner?' So it was sort of like that."

[@garygramling5618]

Miss that show!

[@Saber23]

I’m pretty sure all of them got along in real life and that’s why the chemistry was so good

[@-R.Gray-]

If you want to know about Ed O'Neil's tough guy background, dealing with mobsters etc., hear him on the Fly On The Wall podcast, which is usually Dana Carvey and David Spade talking with other people with a history with SNL.

[@catbutte4770]

It's too bad it wasn't a full episode when the females at the cabin all get their periods. I let out a huge guffaw when Bud remarked to Kelly that she squeaked by "another month" (aka she didn't get pregnant).

[@amosglitterz2649]

Peg was out of town, Kelly confided to Al she was getting cramps. He told her to "Walk it off. And next time, stretch before you ovulate."

[@amberaustin3243]

I love the cabin episode. It’s hilarious! It always cracks me up! The cabin period episode. I love it also because they always did the extra stuff that not too many shows did at the time.

[@Talius10]

I remember they did one season of a modern "Dragnet" that Ed stared in.

[@NatTurnerswitBurnerz]

There was show that came on the air late into MWC's run called, 'Unhappily Ever After.' It wasn't bad.

[@jkseraphim4]

I thought I was the only one who knew about that show!!!😮

Uncanny lookalike Phil Buckman. I also thought it was Anthony Kiedis at first

[@wheelmanstan]

You that IMDB's rating system is a sham when Married With Children has a lower rating than Modern Family. I mean just look at all those great 90's films, they're 6/10 now. A 6/10 film made today is unwatchable! That's just my rant. The best episodes are the 2 where the family competes in the shopping mart. What an episode that was!

[@jasonregister4895]

Actually the war at home was a 90s version of married with children also check out Titus

Stop it with that "everything so woke today" crap. They wouldn't have made it then either if it wasn't a totally new network trying to make a name for itself.

the rumors that Ed and Amanda didn't get along behind the cameras is not true. the cast got along well and even years later had high praise for each other. Additionally, Amanda has be out as gay since she was a young woman, but played a hetro woman on the show so well, that nearly everyone thought she was just hetro.

[@PhazonInfuser]

Yes, Ed and Amanda did not get along at all. It really came to a head in Season 3, where they would avoid each other as much as possible.. And it actually got much worse later on in the series when Amanda would start directing some of the episodes. Also, there was bad blood with Ed because he was extremely supportive of Amanda when she came out as a lesbian, yet was never invited to her wedding. It was sadly a very ugly relationship, and they pretty much couldn't stand each other, much like Vivian Vance and William Frawley while doing i Love Lucy.
