[@TheBaldr]

Up until the mid 1980s US television mostly consisted of Three National networks: CBS, ABC, and NBC and usually a couple local channels. Then in 1986-7 they launched the FOX network national, this was right before cable TV became popular. Married with Children was the first primetime and one of the most popular shows on this new network, It was on Sunday nights primetime followed by the Tracey Ulman show which aired cartoon short called the Simpsons. The new network loved The Simpsons so much they ordered a Christmas Special(which became the first episode of the Simpsons), it became a regular show. Also popular on the new Fox Network was the Arsenio Hall Show.

[@zgdafzgdaf4264]

In living color, 21 jump street with Johnny Depp, and the simpsons first aired as short shown in theaters prior to a movie called war of the roses.

Exactly I don't know what these comments are suggesting times were different and you could say whatever you wanted. That totally wasnt the case and these shows and fox were threatened by the government... these shows were intentionally extreme by Fox's design because they were going up against the original US TV channels and wanted to grab eyes. They took risks none of the other channels would and it gave us shows like this and the simpsons.

[@frankisfunny2007]

Al Bundy (played by Ed O'Neil) was the main character on "Married With Children". Which aired from 1987 to 1996. In the show, he hates his hot wife, hates his life, and kids. He's worked at a show store since he was in high school. He was a star football quarterback in high school. Ed O'Neil, who played Al Bundy, was an actual football quarterback. He even tried out for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He lost that roll to future Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw. He turned to acting shortly after.

Several quick things: most of the Marcy "chicken" jokes were written by actress Amanda Bearce herself, even though she and Ed O'Neill truly didn't like each other. And since the show was so popular, most of the large women wrote their own jokes and it was considered a career boost to be on the show and be "insulted" by Al.

That's not true. Married with Children and the Simpsons were way beyond what everything else was on TV at the time. That was Fox's hook, being the newest channel on the block. To gain viewers at the time they essentially had "the raunchy" lineup. So no the stuff he was saying was a bit on the line back then too. My parents wouldn't even let me watch the Simpsons season 1. it was a whole big thing in the country and the people kind of just kept supporting it despite religious people quite literally trying to ban some of the stuff on Fox.

The jokes were written by the actresses appearing on the show that way no one would take it the wrong way. Most of them were stand up comedians. This show is legendary!

I love that show! It was my favorite. You have to see the entire show!

Ed O'Neil was savage as fuck as Al Bundy, but he was an amazing father figure for David Faustino and Christina Applegate, the kids of the show. He often showed up for their follow-up performances in movies/TV shows and just showered them with affection and praise. Also, despite how he talked, Al Bundy stayed married to Peg, never abused her other than jabbing her verbally as much as she did him, never hit his kids, stood up for them when needed, and never let the misery of life put him down into depression. Most shows portrayed the dad as an idiot and a failure, Al supported his family on a single income and was smart as a whip, he was just unlucky. Great TV dad.

There is an ongoing gag with the short haired small chested lady when Al calls her a chicken in a variety of ways. It runs through the whole series and is hilarious.

Ed O'Neill who played Al Bundy played the character loosely based on one of his uncle's. His uncle was married and all he did was work and hate his life. So when he came home and his wife said to him "Hunny I drove over the dog with the car" and his uncle would just say "That's too bad. What's for dinner?"

You should watch a skit by Tim Conway and Harvey Korman called ‘Dentist’. It’s comedy gold! They’re from The Carol Burnett Show in the 70s.

I have every season on dvd and you should too. My favorite line of all times when his wife said "did you miss me" and he says "with every bullet so far"

One of my favorite running jokes on the show was Al's favorite fictional TV show "Psycho Dad".

The show was a reaction to all the happy family sitcoms that were a thing in America at the time, especially The Cosby Show. Most sitcoms had friendly families that loved each other and solved all problems by the end of the episode. Married....With Children was a snarky response. The family still loved each other but was crude and sarcastic.

This brings back memories of watching Married with Children as a kid in the 90's. You definitely gotta watch the show. Also, I suggest checking out The Christopher Titus Show. He's got the entirety of his sitcom show up on his KZbin channel free to watch. I loved watching his show in the late 90's to early 2000's.

I grew up watching this show and watched it again as an adult! Love Married with Children !

[@NottiOne]

Married with children is like 30 years old but I rewatched the series last year. Never gets old.

[@davidotto3731]

One of my top 5 favorite shows of all time.

This is not a stand up comedy, it is a sitcom series from the 1990s. I loved the show. It is called "Married With Children" >Yes You should react to more Married WIth Children! Al Bundy works a a shoe salesman. HILARIOUS!!! All of the characters are HILARIOUS and as you can hear was performed in front of a LOUD and ROWDY live Studio audience. In the UK there was also a very HILARIOUS Sitcom that was somewhat like this called "Are You Being Served" This was a sitcom or what American's call "Britcom" about sales workers working in a British department store. "Are You Being Served" was on air during the 1970s. You can check it out on KZbin! Are You Being Served had some risky sexualized raunchy humor as well or "low brow" or "common" type humor similar to "Married With Children"

[@stevenburkhardt1963]

I watched this show from day one. It’s hilarious!

Married with Children the Best show on tv at the time. First sitcom on FOX. I. Living color was another great show around that time.
