Sadly unfortunately nowadays with how soft and sensitive people are the show would be too controversial and people would be calling for the show to be cancelled it just wouldn't work in today's climate.
One of my favorites was when Peggy won a contest to have Jim Jupiter come to the house to be her personal trainer. She had him smoking, eating bon bons and watching TV until he keeled over and died. Al's explanation about how Jim Jupiter was delicate and Bundys were more like, "the mighty cockroach" because they could survive anything was a classic!
Loved the fact that Ed watched over his on screen kids like they were his own kids. Christina was being abused by a boyfriend and Ed STOPPED THAT FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN-ALLEGEDLY! Oh AL…..❤
Just watched that movie yesterday and she was the perfect role her show dead to me on Netflix is also really good and she is great in it like always Ed O’Neill said she always had a talent for acting and it shows
Al sitting on the couch with his hand - you know where... Peggy walks in the front door: "Did you miss me honey?" Al: "with every bullet - so far." PERFECTION!!!
When Marcy walks in the front door holding a plate with a whole cooked chicken and Al says, congratulations I didn’t know you where expecting. 😂 and Darcy cracking up like always.
If you listen to the live audience in the early seasons it was your typical sitcom. But when the show got more outrageous the audience went wild. Even when all bundy entered a room. They were loving it. He became such a icon with it
I remember a time when it was OK to piss people off because people realized that most people aren’t the same and respected and appreciated that about this country. It was one of the great things about this country and the grand idea of democracy and America.
I used to be an electrician back in the late 80's and before we would start our work day on Mondays. We had to take 30 minutes to talk about what happened on Married With Children.
One of my favourite episodes is when the Darcys and Bundys play Ethical Delema. Al spins and Peg says, "Al, you landed on kiss the neighbour." Al looks in the camera with a grunted look. Then, it shows on a plane and the instructor says, "do you want any last minute instructions?" Al appears and does his usual laugh, with his parachute not even on him, and jumps out of the plane. Hillarious.
One of the best episodes was when Kelly told the producer of a sitcom about her family and they made a parody of the Bundys. Everyone was disgusted and ashamed except Al who was laughing like crazy... When I see that part and him laughing I laugh like crazy too 🤣
To save you time: "The decision to cancel the series was based on those declining ratings relative to increased production costs. Sources say Ed O'Neill--who plays the show's surly father figure, Al Bundy--received more than $500,000 per episode this season, making him one of the highest-paid performers in television." - LA Times.
@My Name I didnt say they didnt deserve it, i was pointing out that other show that was sexist too was paid overal more so as reason to cancel him wasnt walid. If there was no demand they could discus reduction of price before canceling. Its normal to get paid the amount your show is worth. Friends cost milion each for episode in last season.
The good old times when a tv show can literally show real life things without getting cancelled because a unknown woman in a tiny little town get upset with something... legend.
now its the woke left that would have this cancelled in a heart beat. another great show right now is south park. its full of stuff that offends many, yet for some reason its untouchable
Let's be honest, Al Bundy is a man that said all that we wanted to say but couldn't. This is a legendary show. It pushed boundaries and broke family sitcom standards. It actually highlighted the reality of family life as many middle to low class families didn't have the perfect household or the successes and dreams. This is a great show.
Amen. Still baffles me to this day how Al paid a mortgage & gave $$$ to his wife n kids as a womens' shoe salesman though, that'd be the main thing that's TV Magic.
I loved it when Peggy was trying to redecorate the house. Al's reaction; If you wanna make this house look better, clean. If you wanna make it smell better, cook. And if you wanna make it feel better, leave!
My favorite thing was that no matter how much they argued the family was always ready to fight for one another. They remind me of my brother and I. No one insults him but me and vise versa.
Merely quotes that cause divorce or arguments in houselhold…. You loved it. Well rotten and not funny is more like it; miserable marriages expressed in comedic disguise is not something to love. Sick propogand by Fox. Tbey want Americans to be losers don’t you get it.
In my humble opinion, this was and is to this very day one of the greatest sitcoms of all time and al,s jokes about Marcy,s small chest were hillarious
The Greatest Sitcom Show Ever!! I dont have a favorite episode honestly, they all were the Greatest for me. I couldnt miss it for anything in the World!
Before acting, Ed O'Neill was actually the football star he claims to be, but in a different position (linebacker). Ed actually was signed to the Steelers, but was cut in training camp. Sadly, nobody picked him up afterwards, but luckily we gained a brilliant actor.
And you can't forget his infamous coaching job he picked up for the Cowboys when they played the Little Giants. lol Makes since why he was so perfect for that role now.
As a boy I couldn't stop laughing watching this show. Why do idots take things so seriously. Life is to short and the Bundies new it. Thankyou to all in the show it was amazing!!!!!!!!!
The episode I remember the most was the grille, where Al insisted the left over ashes from the last meal cooked added to the flavor. Unfortunately someone dumped all the ashes out, leaving Kelly to find a replacement. Marcy had a death in her family recently and they were cremated, I guess you can see where this is going. But at their BBQ Marcy was talking about her late relative and mentions the ashes, and Kelly is what ashes? The reactions as Kelly secretly whispered the word where she got the ashes from, Bud dropped the burger and ran, Peggy spit it out and tried to cleanse her mouth. Marcy's husband just ate the burger with all the more vigor. Oh God the laughter.
@@DaveDarin Totally Agree Dave! We are watching the “enemies With-in” Cancel out Every thing Great about this Country! We are in Serious Trouble! Pray the Lord Jesus doesn’t Abandon Us
The writers and actors knocked it out of the park. There wasn't a show before or since quite like the bundys. Everyone involved should be proud of the work.
Absolutely love this show. I was introduced to it by my mom and step dad watching it in the morning before school. I watched a couple episodes and got hooked. Started waking up at 5 just to be able to watch it. It was on at 5-7 on tbs.
Makes me laugh. I introduced this show, Always Sunny in Philadelphia & Fawlty Towers, all three not the most 'family oriented' of shows to my daughter. Now married & living away, we still laugh together at these shows. Yeah, when it comes to a sense of humor the apple didn't fall too far from this tree.
In my Dad's later years. He would watch it non stop, show after show. He was losing his memory & enjoyed them each time, just like the first. Thanks, on behalf of him, for all the laughs!! When I was there, He would want me to watch with him.
Damn bro thats an Awsome story. I love this show man, if in my dads later years he would wanna watch that with me or would watch it over & over like it was his first time seeing it that would be a hell of a good memory man. Your dad sounds like a kick ass gent💪
My niece had a stuffed animal of an owl, I told her the owls name was Bundy. So she called him Owl Bundy, her parents were not amused. 😂. Years later my niece out grew her stuffed animal and gave to me. I proudly showcase Owl Bundy to this day. 😍
Random Guy in Line: "Hey, new guy, what're you in line for?" Al: "Wife made the bathroom pink." Entire line waves Al to the front of the line. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😅😅🤣😂😅🤣 also: ...where the beer gives you gas, and the Bundys kick ass, at the nudie bar!
@@skyden24195 One of my favorites was the National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood. The No Ma'am meetings were hilarious!! Also: "Beautiful women make us buy beer. Ugly women make us drink beer!"
They should Bring the gang back for a last reunion. A proper reunion episode, with them playing the characters many years later. Not the retrospective reunion where it was just the actors discussing the show. I want to see a middle aged Bud, trapped in "bundy hell", with a redhead of his own, while Al, as a grandpa, is set free and the curse is passed on to the next generation.
I tried to watch Modern Family and it just don't compare. Have to force myself to try and laugh. So I turn on the DVD player, put in whatever season of Married with Children I have and the laughs come natural.
I watch it everyday and record all shows and don't mind watching them over and over,its the best show out there,keep them coming on tv Thanks buddies for all the gut busting laughs!!!!
I said the exact same thing to my wife the other day but not just Al there’s a lot of shows I can relate to now that I have my own “ wife and kids” one a teenager ……
I’m not sure it’s regression, but I would certainly give a shout out to overzealous political correctness. Things have to change over time, but ‘cutting off your face to spite your nose’ has always been a bad starting point.
I've recently been re-watching Married with Children. My overwhelming thought has been this show would NEVER be green lit today... and that's why I'll always love it. Al was a real salt of the earth kinda man. The kinda man that is unfortunately being phased out of modern society. Peggy was as endearing as she was annoying. Who didn't know at least one sibling pair in HS like Bud & Kelly? The family was imperfect, as we all are. Difference is the show leaned into the imperfection, rather than try to hide them with an immaculately manicured social media presence, as many do these days. The life those characters portrayed was one of the most clever displays of a realistic American existence ever. Only other relatively recent show I can think of that comes across similarly is a damn cartoon, King of the Hill. Idk if we'll ever get another show like this, tbh.
i liked the constant feeling of defeat. no matter who was doing what, it never worked out and they were always getting shafted or shafting someone else, even if it was peg buying a dress instead of food for the kids, or the dad buying a new bowling ball but not having money for the bills
I agree it would be impossible nowadays to have a sit com like this with so much cancelling around. The same with classic movies of Monty Python like "The live of Brian" which I find it really sad 😢
In one episode, Al started complaining to a bunch of women that were sexualizing him. Al told them: "Wait! You are treating me like a piece of MEAT! ..(a few seconds later) And I love it!!" A guilty feeling came over me.
@@TybudX I remember that joke lol😂 The line was actually: "Dodge is a damn fine car. Ran over my wife with a dodge" I'm not trying to be a jerk or do a gotcha moment. I just wanted to let you know. Great joke pick btw😂👍 I loved that two parter in the desert. I also loved the 2 parter where they have to compete in a grocery store race with the Darcy's 😂😂
My whole family loved Married With Children and we still watch it courtesy of the box set. In fact I wrote an email to Katey Sagal simply thanking her for the many hours of laughter that she & the whole cast had given us. I completely forgotten about it when a few months later a thick envelope arrived from America containing a personalized photo and what must have been a press pack containing more photos and postcards. Class act!
I am 35 y/o now and this was my grandfather's favorite TV 📺 show. Him and I would sit together and watch every Sunday night that was our extra special bonding time. We would laugh so hard at the crazy things Al would do at work and when the extra large women come in Al would make sly about them and other stuff. The hella funny.
Married with Children is still the number one comedy in Germany, Al is seen as kind of a hero over here. It is even more popular than Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory who come second and third.
I have just officially said that I officially forgive Germany. Don't do it again lol that's freakin awesome this show is badass me and my mom and dad and sister watched it together like a family
I didn’t even grow up in the 80’s I’m 23 and I’ve watched every episode twice once when I was younger and now, we definitely lived in a more expressive unapologetic world and crazy for us because we’ll only get to see it on TV
Isn’t it a mockery of earlier American tv-shows centred around family-life? I watched it on Norwegian television as a lad in the 90’s. It certainly is a lot better than a lot of Norwegian stuff. The Simpsons was also great in the 90’s, but newer fictional tv-series don’t have the same charm.
This was probably one of the greatest shows that never won any awards, but the characters were great. I remember seeing Bud Bundy at Casino Windsor in Ontario, Canada with a girlfriend resembling his sister on the series.
I absolutely love and miss this show❤ It was controversial and bigoted for some angles. But I think at the end of the day, I think they tried to cover lots of family issues, like with neighbors, having children, being with the same person for a long time, through out all that they alway remained together and faithful. They "suffered" but never quit on the family unity when things got rough. Super funny, super entertaining, and grown af tbh In this modern time of being sensitive to people's feelings, this show is like old shade to all this heat
Very Well Said ! Agree 100% And Don't forget, that ' So-called ' bigotry , Sorry ( not sorry ) was FUNNY !!😅 We had that Sense of Humor & didnt get All twisted up worrying someone might be offended. Pfffft ! People act Waaay too soft nowadays Ill always Love & Miss the Times & Show... Made Life Complete ❤
There are so many that I like, but the one I think about the most is an early episode where Bud helps Kelly with her homework. She has a meeting with the Principal. A three hour meeting, a three hour meeting. 😂😂😂.
Ooooh Man would I love too go back to those days of the late 80's into thru the 90's ! That show along with a few other, really Defined the Times. Something really needed. Cant Ever Imagine Life without It ! Great Times I miss
It's kind of interesting that one of the best recent sitcoms is "Modern Family" where Ed O'Neil basically reprises his role as Al, but he's ungodly wealthy. He even has the nagging wife and kids that don't really respect him.
It’s not that the shows now suck, sitcoms can’t stay in the same error for decades and decades . They had to appeal to each generation and the experiences they’re actually go through. The shows don’t appeal to you because you’re not a kid anymore
i love the episode when Kelly is trying to get smart, but for ever piece of knowledge she learns, she has to lose a piece of knowledge that she already knows, so she starts forgetting functional basics.
I loved it, my friends loved it, even my parent’s loved it. I miss the days when shows wee allowed to be funny at other peoples expense because they actually had a sense of humor
It's because they weren't edgy just for the sake of it. They were funny first, and if that happened to be edgy whatever. Nowadays they look for edgy and try to find ways to make it funny, other way around!
I still enjoy watching this show’s reruns since it’s beginning. Al tore me up I laughed so hard at his character, his wife Peggy was perfect for him. The kids were ok.
I grew up watching this show and I gotta say it was the best dam show on TV back then... 5hat show made my hole familly sit down.and watch it every time it came on.. I don't think I can remember anything 3les that made our hole familly laugh so hard and.so much l..... I can still watch that show and laugh just as hard as when.it first came out.... it is one.of.my all time favorite shows to watch... and I still to 5his day watch it every night it's on late at 2 am and I'm up watching every night....so I owe the bundy's a thanks.for the entertainment year after and still to this day..... Al Peggy Bud and Kelly your the best... thanks a lot for everything.....
@@elizasteiner7330 Loved his going crazy and talking into the whistle.... I loved episodes where Ed was allowed to just let loose his zany, like when Kelly was a pool shark and he sold all his blood.....
mine too 2 part ep. theres a channel on cable plays mwc all the time and they skip this 2 part ep every time i think season 4 ep 11 and 12 . no idea why -major bummer. "and i heard him exclaim as he broke wind with glee ...your married with children... you'll never be free"
One of the best shows ever made. Real shame the world has become so over sensitive and so easily offended. Don’t think you could of had a better cast. Thanks for sharing this one has bought back some fun memories.
Even at the time when the show was on, people were offended by it. At that time, people were only use to sitcoms about families that were “good and wholesome” so to speak.
oh this show was a mockery and outdated even back then, that's not even how Ed is in real life, he's much more closer to drama TV when he started playing as a cop. but when he started out he couldn't find alot of work, and if you want money bad enough you'll take anything.
Growing up as a kid, this was my favorite TV show. I went to school with a girl who was an extra on the show and I remember how jealous I was that she got to meet the cast. She was in the Swedish bikini team episode. Haha. Looking back as an adult, it amazes me that my parents even allowed me to watch the show lol. It is definitely a piece of my childhood, and I would totally watch every episode all over again
The episode where they had "leavings"to eat(the crumbs from the bottom of the toaster)was one of my favorites,along with the one where Jefferson gets a part for Al's Dodge from Cuba.Married with Children is the best sitcom in television history,in my opinion,and there isn't even a close second
Well what about all the animated adult shows like the Simpsons, Family Guy or South Park? I know that now they suck, but I’m talking about the early days of those shows
I remember one episode when Peggy hides an oven from Al and Marcy comes in with a raw chicken to cook it and when Al opens the door he only says "Congratulations Marcy, I didn´t know you were expecting"
@@jamesmichalek5406 And not to mention at the time at major fast food joints, they used to serve the XtraLarge fries and drink. I know I misspelled extra, but it's a marketing gimmick to misspell words on purpose.
Enid : See? I told you I was a four. Al : No, ma'am. "Fore." is what you'll have to yell when the shoe pops off your foot. Are we finished here? Enid : Well, I'm not sure I like this shade of blue. Al : I'll tell ya what I'll do then. We'll stand you in front of the mirror. I'll begin strangling you. When you reach the shade of blue that is satisfactory to you, you yell, "Moo," and I'll stop. Enid : That's it! I'm taking my business elsewhere. Al : May I suggest Jenny Craig?
Do you remember why you made this video? Wasn't it to tell everyone what was the event/issue that officially end the show? Okay what was the event/issue?
Still better than the finale Ed O'Neill suggested. He recommended the series end with the Bundys winning the lottery than all being killed by a tornado. That would've ruined the show for me
Wow. I learned a lot about this show that I didn't know before. In my opinion one of the best things they ever did was the two-parter "The Good, the Bad and the Kelly" when Bud borrows money from the mob to produce a workout video and Al tries to install a satilite dish.
Omg I was obsessed with this show as a kid then my teenage years. Loved and still love it. Definitely ahead of its time and most likely a piece of TV history that cannot be repeated in today's society. It would be canceled ASAP!
Show of hands. Who was not ashamed to admit up front that we watched it for Kelly, first and foremost; then the rest of its awesomeness after the fact?
What was your favorite episode? 🤔
The one where al gets a garden and the one where the city taxes beer
Kelly
*KELLY*
"Don't Bundy that book!" 😹
EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS A KEEPER
Peg: "Al, what are you thinking?"
Al: "If I wanted you to know, Peg, I'd be talking."
Still cracks me up.
LOL
That was one of the best ones.. I used it all the time..🤣
I still use that line
The Pilot Episode! love married with children got the complete series on dvd which i watch daily!
Peggy: "Are you going to miss me, honey?" Al: "Well, I can't until you leave!"
Al: “Peg, what’s for dinner?”
Peggy: “nothing”
Al: “I thought we had that last night”🤣
Kelly to bud - while reading a book. Bud whats this word.
Bud. A
Oh look honey it’s the kid from home improvement
In which season and episode is this 😂😂
I thought her response was, "Filthy pig!!"
Peggy: "Then we're having leftovers, ok?" (audience laughs and howls)
“Scoring four touchdowns in one game,” will forever have a place in my adolescent heart. ❤️
If that were true, you would quote it right!!!
Do not desecrate the legend of Al Bundy that "scored 4 touchdowns NOT IN 1 SEASON, but in 1 game."
This show is exactly what we need these days.
Sadly unfortunately nowadays with how soft and sensitive people are the show would be too controversial and people would be calling for the show to be cancelled it just wouldn't work in today's climate.

@@Grinlathak But Al never ate so why would he need such a powerful toilet?
One of my favorites was when Peggy won a contest to have Jim Jupiter come to the house to be her personal trainer. She had him smoking, eating bon bons and watching TV until he keeled over and died. Al's explanation about how Jim Jupiter was delicate and Bundys were more like, "the mighty cockroach" because they could survive anything was a classic!
"The mighty cockroach will outlive us all, family. Why? They eat crap!"
Peg was the best role model!
I watched this very episode Monday on Peacock TV. They streamed it all night. Loved the snipes between Al and Marcy.
Well any man that can score 4 touchdowns in a single game for polk can survive almost anything. 😎
I remember that one🤣
Loved the fact that Ed watched over his on screen kids like they were his own kids. Christina was being abused by a boyfriend and Ed STOPPED THAT FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN-ALLEGEDLY!
Oh AL…..❤
I heard that Ed O’Neal got Christina the part in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead in 1991
Just watched that movie yesterday and she was the perfect role her show dead to me on Netflix is also really good and she is great in it like always Ed O’Neill said she always had a talent for acting and it shows

It was one of the great things about this country and the grand idea of democracy and America.
So far ahead of its time. Most of the stuff they were using as satire and now considered mainstream.

Unfortunately someone dumped all the ashes out, leaving Kelly to find a replacement. Marcy had a death in her family recently and they were cremated, I guess you can see where this is going.
But at their BBQ Marcy was talking about her late relative and mentions the ashes, and Kelly is what ashes? The reactions as Kelly secretly whispered the word where she got the ashes from, Bud dropped the burger and ran, Peggy spit it out and tried to cleanse her mouth. Marcy's husband just ate the burger with all the more vigor.
Oh God the laughter.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way society is going, there will never ever be another show like this one. Sad.
It’s even worse. At some point this show will be prohibited to being aired and masters destroyed.
Who even watches the tom fookery on teliesvision or today's deranged no class shows!
@@DaveDarin Totally Agree Dave! We are watching the “enemies With-in” Cancel out Every thing Great about this Country! We are in Serious Trouble! Pray the Lord Jesus doesn’t Abandon Us
Show just like this exist right now and always will. People in the 90s used to say the same thing.
Could you imagine what would happen if, a group of men created an organization called “No 🚫 Ma’am” today 😳
It was the greatest show of all time! People can’t handle it today because everyone’s sense of humor is gone.
Absolutely. Let’s not forget you can’t say that bullocks. Now days you say one bad thing they’re all over you like flies on shit.
The writers and actors knocked it out of the park.
There wasn't a show before or since quite like the bundys.
Everyone involved should be proud of the work.
Absolutely love this show. I was introduced to it by my mom and step dad watching it in the morning before school. I watched a couple episodes and got hooked. Started waking up at 5 just to be able to watch it. It was on at 5-7 on tbs.
Makes me laugh. I introduced this show, Always Sunny in Philadelphia & Fawlty Towers, all three not the most 'family oriented' of shows to my daughter. Now married & living away, we still laugh together at these shows. Yeah, when it comes to a sense of humor the apple didn't fall too far from this tree.
I was driving home yesterday and a motorcyclist passed me. He was wearing Al's football shirt! Brightened my day!
In my Dad's later years. He would watch it non stop, show after show. He was losing his memory & enjoyed them each time, just like the first. Thanks, on behalf of him, for all the laughs!! When I was there, He would want me to watch with him.
Damn bro thats an Awsome story. I love this show man, if in my dads later years he would wanna watch that with me or would watch it over & over like it was his first time seeing it that would be a hell of a good memory man. Your dad sounds like a kick ass gent💪
Beautiful story bro this is what makes entertainment great
Your dad was cool, bro.
@@freetruth9762 back when entertainment was great.
@@highwizdom1399 Seems you found a couple of siblings here...
My niece had a stuffed animal of an owl, I told her the owls name was Bundy. So she called him Owl Bundy, her parents were not amused. 😂. Years later my niece out grew her stuffed animal and gave to me. I proudly showcase Owl Bundy to this day. 😍
I love and miss that type of humour, and sometimes the 80's. Love the ep where AL and Jefferson try to figure out what the light switch does.🤣😂
One of the funniest shows ever made. Al Bundy was the MAN!!!
Random Guy in Line: "Hey, new guy, what're you in line for?"
Al: "Wife made the bathroom pink."
Entire line waves Al to the front of the line. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😅😅🤣😂😅🤣
also: ...where the beer gives you gas, and the Bundys kick ass, at the nudie bar!
@@skyden24195 One of my favorites was the National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood. The No Ma'am meetings were hilarious!!
Also: "Beautiful women make us buy beer. Ugly women make us drink beer!"
They should Bring the gang back for a last reunion. A proper reunion episode, with them playing the characters many years later. Not the retrospective reunion where it was just the actors discussing the show.
I want to see a middle aged Bud, trapped in "bundy hell", with a redhead of his own, while Al, as a grandpa, is set free and the curse is passed on to the next generation.
@@crimsonpride9975 Let's also not forget the timeless NO MA'AM classic... "Could you jump up and down for us?", and "could you do that again?"
I tried to watch Modern Family and it just don't compare. Have to force myself to try and laugh. So I turn on the DVD player, put in whatever season of Married with Children I have and the laughs come natural.
It's probably a more true representation of how families really are then all the reality shows you see now
yeah seriously who talks to their kids and parents like in a TV show???
True dat
Facts
I watch it everyday and record all shows and don't mind watching them over and over,its the best show out there,keep them coming on tv
Thanks buddies for all the gut busting laughs!!!!
The show stopped but the laughter goes on, man the 80s and 90s were great times for comedy shows
The longer I'm married, the more I can identify with Al.
I said the exact same thing to my wife the other day but not just Al there’s a lot of shows I can relate to now that I have my own “ wife and kids” one a teenager ……
@@J2A61 growing pains lol
That's messed up lmaoo
@@queenhall1636 how??? It’s real life
So you are miserable
the fact that this show cant be made today is proof of cultural regression.
No way this show would fly today
I’m not sure it’s regression, but I would certainly give a shout out to overzealous political correctness.
Things have to change over time, but ‘cutting off your face to spite your nose’ has always been a bad starting point.
@@laustinspeiss i say regression because a bill of right, a human right, the right to speak, has been reduced. regressed. regression.
Brilliant observation. Totally agree. When it rains it snows. ;-}
Not to mention that you can't find reruns of it on TV anymore. Damn the FCC! Also, damn the PC fascists!
I've recently been re-watching Married with Children. My overwhelming thought has been this show would NEVER be green lit today... and that's why I'll always love it. Al was a real salt of the earth kinda man. The kinda man that is unfortunately being phased out of modern society. Peggy was as endearing as she was annoying. Who didn't know at least one sibling pair in HS like Bud & Kelly? The family was imperfect, as we all are. Difference is the show leaned into the imperfection, rather than try to hide them with an immaculately manicured social media presence, as many do these days. The life those characters portrayed was one of the most clever displays of a realistic American existence ever. Only other relatively recent show I can think of that comes across similarly is a damn cartoon, King of the Hill. Idk if we'll ever get another show like this, tbh.
i liked the constant feeling of defeat. no matter who was doing what, it never worked out and they were always getting shafted or shafting someone else, even if it was peg buying a dress instead of food for the kids, or the dad buying a new bowling ball but not having money for the bills
I agree it would be impossible nowadays to have a sit com like this with so much cancelling around. The same with classic movies of Monty Python like "The live of Brian" which I find it really sad 😢
In one episode, Al started complaining to a bunch of women that were sexualizing him. Al told them: "Wait! You are treating me like a piece of MEAT! ..(a few seconds later) And I love it!!"
A guilty feeling came over me.
When the Dodge hit a 1,000,000 miles! 😂That’s one of my favorites.
Fun Fact
That Dodge was actually a Plymouth
😄
Dodge is a good truck. Ran over my wife with a Dodge.
@@TybudX

It did not injure her but the truck is totalled
@@johnthonig8832 Fun Fact, they are made by the same company..LOL
@@TybudX I remember that joke lol😂
The line was actually:
"Dodge is a damn fine car.
Ran over my wife with a dodge"
I'm not trying to be a jerk or do a gotcha moment.
I just wanted to let you know.
Great joke pick btw😂👍
I loved that two parter in the desert.
I also loved the 2 parter where they have to compete in a grocery store race with the Darcy's 😂😂
My whole family loved Married With Children and we still watch it courtesy of the box set.
In fact I wrote an email to Katey Sagal simply thanking her for the many hours of laughter that she & the whole cast had given us.
I completely forgotten about it when a few months later a thick envelope arrived from America containing a personalized photo and what must have been a press pack containing more photos and postcards.
Class act!
Are you crushing on Leela, like Frye?
@@byronjuarez656 Who isn't? I named one of my airplanes after her (because it looks kinda like a Cyclops from the front...).
@@byronjuarez656 😄😄😄
I am 35 y/o now and this was my grandfather's favorite TV 📺 show. Him and I would sit together and watch every Sunday night that was our extra special bonding time. We would laugh so hard at the crazy things Al would do at work and when the extra large women come in Al would make sly about them and other stuff. The hella funny.
Love this show and the reruns; I can't get enough of it !
Married with Children is still the number one comedy in Germany, Al is seen as kind of a hero over here.
It is even more popular than Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory who come second and third.
Tell me, does it play in English or do they dub into German?
I would have guessed that Hogan's Heroes would be big over there!
@@kevingee4294 I know nothing! ....about that.
@@timothycook2917 usually german synchronisation
I have just officially said that I officially forgive Germany. Don't do it again lol that's freakin awesome this show is badass me and my mom and dad and sister watched it together like a family
So glad I grew up in the 80’s we will NEVER get a sitcom like this on network television ever again 💜🙌🏾
I didn’t even grow up in the 80’s I’m 23 and I’ve watched every episode twice once when I was younger and now, we definitely lived in a more expressive unapologetic world and crazy for us because we’ll only get to see it on TV
Amen
Isn’t it a mockery of earlier American tv-shows centred around family-life?
I watched it on Norwegian television as a lad in the 90’s. It certainly is a lot better than a lot of Norwegian stuff.
The Simpsons was also great in the 90’s, but newer fictional tv-series don’t have the same charm.
The vacation to Dumpwater Florida was probably really got me watching the show. This show was Great.
Or Sanford and son or All in the family. Everything now is too PC.
This was probably one of the greatest shows that never won any awards, but the characters were great. I remember seeing Bud Bundy at Casino Windsor in Ontario, Canada with a girlfriend resembling his sister on the series.
I absolutely love and miss this show❤
It was controversial and bigoted for some angles. But I think at the end of the day, I think they tried to cover lots of family issues, like with neighbors, having children, being with the same person for a long time, through out all that they alway remained together and faithful. They "suffered" but never quit on the family unity when things got rough. Super funny, super entertaining, and grown af tbh
In this modern time of being sensitive to people's feelings, this show is like old shade to all this heat
Very Well Said ! Agree 100%
And Don't forget, that ' So-called ' bigotry , Sorry ( not sorry ) was FUNNY !!😅
We had that Sense of Humor & didnt get All twisted up worrying someone might be offended. Pfffft !
People act Waaay too soft nowadays
Ill always Love & Miss the Times & Show... Made Life Complete ❤
Ed really embodies the "worn out dad role" perfectly
Ah, home sweet hell.
Peg: How come you never rock me Al ?
Al: Cause I'd rather stone ya.
😅😅😅
There are so many that I like, but the one I think about the most is an early episode where Bud helps Kelly with her homework. She has a meeting with the Principal. A three hour meeting, a three hour meeting. 😂😂😂.
Ooooh Man would I love too go back to those days of the late 80's into thru the 90's ! That show along with a few other, really Defined the Times. Something really needed. Cant Ever Imagine Life without It !
Great Times I miss
One of the best sitcoms ever created. Better then most the crap we get fed now.
It's kind of interesting that one of the best recent sitcoms is "Modern Family" where Ed O'Neil basically reprises his role as Al, but he's ungodly wealthy. He even has the nagging wife and kids that don't really respect him.
@@baum6721 so true lol.
It’s not that the shows now suck, sitcoms can’t stay in the same error for decades and decades . They had to appeal to each generation and the experiences they’re actually go through. The shows don’t appeal to you because you’re not a kid anymore
*than
@@Bonny228 ty word police
i love the episode when Kelly is trying to get smart, but for ever piece of knowledge she learns, she has to lose a piece of knowledge that she already knows, so she starts forgetting functional basics.
The sports trivia show episode
I always reference that episode lol
Why didn't u dial 911? I couldn't remember the number
That happens to most women at the age of 15.
I always pronounce Chicago as "Chick- ago" because of Kelly. Lol good times
I love married with children i still watch it everyday its my favorite show
Still one of my top 5 sitcoms to watch, luved the show from day one to the end.
I loved it, my friends loved it, even my parent’s loved it. I miss the days when shows wee allowed to be funny at other peoples expense because they actually had a sense of humor
I loved it too, but neither my first wife, nor my 2nd wife (who is Aussie) liked it.
@@blackholeentry3489 Haha she should hand in her Aussie passport! Most Aussies loved it! Too close to the bone perhaps?..
@@thrusta100 My Aussie wife is a former redhead, with that famous redheaded temperament....perhaps a little jealousy in action of Peg?
It's because they weren't edgy just for the sake of it. They were funny first, and if that happened to be edgy whatever. Nowadays they look for edgy and try to find ways to make it funny, other way around!
David Figueroa So Hannah Gadsby ISN’T funny on purpose then?
I think the cast was perfect. I can't imagine anyone else playing Kelly or Al. Or even Peggy or Bud for that matter

This was the best show to ever grow up with. Truly, a classic.
Hello Stacey, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
I still enjoy watching this show’s reruns since it’s beginning. Al tore me up I laughed so hard at his character, his wife Peggy was perfect for him. The kids were ok.
What do you mean the kids were ok?
Out of all the sitcoms i've watched, this one had me laughing the most. It still my favorite.
At Gary's shoe store. Al is helping a big lady put a shoe on. Al Bundy: "when I say Moo! You push!!" 😅🤣🤣
“Why don’t you just buck buck buck right on out of here”
@@waynehoffman456 That sounds more apt for his nextdoor neighbor skinny "chicken" lady.
Kid wines to her mom: i want a balloon!
Al: but you already got one!
I watched every episode over and over again. To funny and hilarious to miss 🤣! To bad it got cut short.
I grew up watching this show and I gotta say it was the best dam show on TV back then... 5hat show made my hole familly sit down.and watch it every time it came on.. I don't think I can remember anything 3les that made our hole familly laugh so hard and.so much l..... I can still watch that show and laugh just as hard as when.it first came out.... it is one.of.my all time favorite shows to watch... and I still to 5his day watch it every night it's on late at 2 am and I'm up watching every night....so I owe the bundy's a thanks.for the entertainment year after and still to this day..... Al Peggy Bud and Kelly your the best... thanks a lot for everything.....
I literally could watch Married with Children 24 hours a day 7 days a week it never gets old
Perfect cast they had picked for the show
when Christina Applegate said "the only thing you can be sure of is Death in Texas"... I wish MwC would come up on Netflix!
Married with children is without doubt the best comedy show ever made👌
the best thing about this show that still applies these day is "NO MA'AM", this cancel culture deserves that!!
I've inherited my fathers No Ma'am shirt, I'll wear it next time I barbeque.
I did the same thing my dad got that shirt so quick
I had me 1 made recently!Wear ot when my lady give me a ton of stuff she want me to do!lol
My favorite episode was "It's a Bundyful Life" with Sam Kinison as Al's guardian angel.
WHooooooooooaaa Joblonsky
I think that was the first episode that Ted McGinley was actually on (playing papa Jablonsky).
The Alien episode was great too
@@elizasteiner7330 Loved his going crazy and talking into the whistle.... I loved episodes where Ed was allowed to just let loose his zany, like when Kelly was a pool shark and he sold all his blood.....
mine too 2 part ep. theres a channel on cable plays mwc all the time and they skip this 2 part ep every time i think season 4 ep 11 and 12 . no idea why -major bummer. "and i heard him exclaim as he broke wind with glee ...your married with children... you'll never be free"
Peggy: "AL! WHERE'S MY ORANGE JUICE?"
Al: "Florida I reckon."
Classic line.
Love the way Al showed Kelly's boyfriends out
Well, I remember a few episodes where Kelly's boyfriend was an older man driving a Station Wagon. That caused a bit of eye rolling on Al's part.
One of the best shows ever made. Real shame the world has become so over sensitive and so easily offended. Don’t think you could of had a better cast. Thanks for sharing this one has bought back some fun memories.
Even at the time when the show was on, people were offended by it. At that time, people were only use to sitcoms about families that were “good and wholesome” so to speak.
This show is gold!!! Now people this day & age would shit a dinosaur if it was still in production. Sad sad world we live in now
World has gone soft
@@ketster79 yeah pretty much imagine how the younger generations are going to deal with things that get really hard.
oh this show was a mockery and outdated even back then, that's not even how Ed is in real life, he's much more closer to drama TV when he started playing as a cop. but when he started out he couldn't find alot of work, and if you want money bad enough you'll take anything.
Growing up as a kid, this was my favorite TV show. I went to school with a girl who was an extra on the show and I remember how jealous I was that she got to meet the cast. She was in the Swedish bikini team episode. Haha. Looking back as an adult, it amazes me that my parents even allowed me to watch the show lol. It is definitely a piece of my childhood, and I would totally watch every episode all over again
The episode where they had "leavings"to eat(the crumbs from the bottom of the toaster)was one of my favorites,along with the one where Jefferson gets a part for Al's Dodge from Cuba.Married with Children is the best sitcom in television history,in my opinion,and there isn't even a close second
Well what about all the animated adult shows like the Simpsons, Family Guy or South Park?
I know that now they suck, but I’m talking about the early days of those shows
Maybe it was crass, but it was funny, and they stayed married, and pops was a provider and protective. It was a great show.
Facts
@Hubert Harmon and she kept them at home lol. Again, good show.
It reminds me a bit of George and Mildred 😂😂
They also had a damn cozy house. And Bud Bundy was also secretly a genius and VERY intelligent.

Loved the episode when Kinison co-starred as Al’s “guardian angel.”
"AHHH! AHHHH! Would you quit playing Nintendo up there!!!"
One of my favorite epísodes! Sam Kínison great comedian!
I love every single episode of Married with children
Almost choked on my beer when I saw the iron burn on the back of Als jacket at the reunion.
How Al sat on the couch was the signature highlight of the show.
The Al and Marcy scenes were my favorite. She'd just barge into his house insulting him and they would trash talk each other. I loved it.
"Cluck you" gets me every time. 😆
I remember one episode when Peggy hides an oven from Al and Marcy comes in with a raw chicken to cook it and when Al opens the door he only says "Congratulations Marcy, I didn´t know you were expecting"
The best piece of television history ever made!
I absolutely loved this show when I was a kid, still do!

Al : I'll tell ya what I'll do then. We'll stand you in front of the mirror. I'll begin strangling you. When you reach the shade of blue that is satisfactory to you, you yell, "Moo," and I'll stop.
Enid : That's it! I'm taking my business elsewhere.
Al : May I suggest Jenny Craig?
Do you remember why you made this video? Wasn't it to tell everyone what was the event/issue that officially end the show? Okay what was the event/issue?
right, what event?
Was going to ask the same thing
Indeed, still curious.
The show took its natural progression. Nothing to see hear.
Hay man I'm not crazy after all. Thank you.
This show was perfect. God bless Al Bundy! Savior of the galaxy!
Seeing Al on his throne took me right back 30 years - it's a Ferguson, Peg!
Ahh... The sound of my childhood. Before butthurt Karen's took over the entertainment industry.
Great observation
We still have South Park!
More places to find "offensive" content now than ever before. Just not on basic tv lol
So so true.
Good times
I was sad when married with children was cancelled. It was one of my favorite shows.
all good things come to an end. 11 seasons is a long run though. The show needed to end. The kids had grown up and the show was running out of ideas
Still better than the finale Ed O'Neill suggested. He recommended the series end with the Bundys winning the lottery than all being killed by a tornado. That would've ruined the show for me
This show is legendary one of my favorite shows too bad today a show like this would piss every one off people are so sensitive nowadays
Wow. I learned a lot about this show that I didn't know before. In my opinion one of the best things they ever did was the two-parter "The Good, the Bad and the Kelly" when Bud borrows money from the mob to produce a workout video and Al tries to install a satilite dish.
Omg I was obsessed with this show as a kid then my teenage years. Loved and still love it. Definitely ahead of its time and most likely a piece of TV history that cannot be repeated in today's society. It would be canceled ASAP!
Show of hands. Who was not ashamed to admit up front that we watched it for Kelly, first and foremost; then the rest of its awesomeness after the fact?
