    Married with Children is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. The reason why it was so funny is that it was geared for men. All of the jokes are jokes guys make with their buddies and how guys rip on things. That's why the show was offensive to some people. It's a classic. I don't think there will ever be another show like Married with Children.
