When did you first see it? - like every other show, i missed the first season for some reason

Characters you liked/disliked? - hmm, no major dislikes leap to mind , but if i gotta pick one Marcy's second husband, jefferson ( ted McGinley)

Storylines you liked/disliked? - none leap to mind

Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note? - hmmm..peggy is in sons of anarchy

Any other thoughts on Married With Children? - well i wouldnt rush out and buy a box set, but i dont hate it either

[jjhewlett]

Isn't Peggy the voice of Lela in Futurama?

[Seasoned Veteran]

When did you first see it? Probably about 15 years ago, maybe more.

Characters you liked/disliked? Al Bundy is a favourite character, always entertaining and a big fan of his. For the dislikes, none spring to mind, the first husband of Marcy wasn't great.

Storylines you liked/disliked? I think it was the 8th season when the show was starting to get a bit tired and they trialled the Peggy is Pregnant scenario, then scrapped that, and brought in a kid of about 6. That season was fairly weak. The best storylines are many and varied, tough to pick one, it was a show where they rarely went with a storyline beyond the one episode.

Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note? Peggy to Sons of Anarchy, Christina Applegate had a show for a few years, Al has his current show which is going well.

Any other thoughts on Married With Children? Great show, can rewatch the first 5 or 6 seasons any time. Loved it.

When did you first see it?
Around about when it first started

Characters you liked/disliked?
Al "all hail the king" Bundy

Storylines you liked/disliked?
not really storyline, but the running joke, of Al teasing Marcy an calling her a chicken

Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note?
Well, Ed Harris is on Modern Family and doing a great job of a modern Al Bundy with some luck.
Christina Applegate has done some other shows, and is still a fine piece of ass.
Katey Sagal, I know she was the voice of Leena in Futurama, but not sure about anything else.
I can't believe this is her today
From this to this

Any other thoughts on Married With Children?
A bloody great show, but I just wish Al won a few more times

[gorehound1972]

When did you first see it? - come acorss it by mistake one night by mistake and caught my eye as being un-pc unlike most of the other family friendly sit-com's of the time

Characters you liked/disliked? All the main stays i was a fan of but must say the kids shit me a little at the start but i grew to like them and Marcy D'Arcy and her 2 hubby where also great, one character i hated was SEVEN i true turd that mad me stop watching for a while the stroy behind this character is a little sad aswell In 1991, Sagal discovered she was pregnant. This was unexpected by the directors of Married... with Children, so the pregnancy was written into the storyline of the show. However, in October 1991, she had to have an emergency Caesarean section in her seventh month of pregnancy, ending in the stillbirth of a daughter, whom Sagal named Ruby Jean. The pregnancy on the show was then regarded as a "dream" and they brought in SEVEN

Storylines you liked/disliked? Too many to list i remember one great episode where Aliens where taking Al's socks to use as a fuel for a weapon to destory a astroid, and the ones with KIND KING BUNDY also great i could list episodes all night, and acorse the alos big fan of the ep's where Kelly got a job as waitress what can i say i love a woman in uniform, guess no need to say i hated the SEVEN story-line.

Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note? Katey Sagal has turned up a fair bit in the likes of: voice work in Recess and Futurama, other shows she has turned up in are That '70s Show,8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter,Ghost Whisperer,Boston Legal,Sons of Anarchy, created by her husband, Kurt Sutter, she is also a songwriter/singer.
Ed O'Neill had great small parts in Wayne's world and it's follow up appeared in several movies, including The Bone Collector, Little Giants, and Dutch and now stars in Modern Family.

Amanda Bearse has moved on to a be a director for the most part and also a gay rights activists and i will alos allways remember her performance in the 1985 horror film Fright Night opposite William Ragsdale.

Any other thoughts on Married With Children? one of my all time favourite sit-coms that i can allways get a laugh out of and how can you not love a show that has characters with the surename if BUNDY and RHODES?

[mr kek]

How could I forget the episode with King Kong Bundy.

Ahh, good times

[rayth]

When did you first see it? Maybe 1985, Kelly Bundy in that skintight pink dress. Gadzooks

Characters you liked/disliked? All the main cast were great fun, and at one point or another, I found myself laughing along with their antics. Steve Darcy was a bit of a bore, but I guess having that straight character among all the characters with one liners, was necessary.

Storylines you liked/disliked?
Al's visits to the Nudie Bar, and the song they made up for it.
Kelly and her various jobs as weathergirl, groupie in a glam rock video and such.
Bud trying to lose his virginity.
When Bud was trying to be a rapper named Grandmaster B, and Kelly would call him Bedwetter B and such.
Al's love for his car, the old dodge.

A story I didn't like was Seven.

Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note? That's already been covered.

[gorehound1972]

would have been 1987 that is when it first screened in US

[lonewolf]

the producers of the show named them Bundy & Rhodes because they are huge wrestling fans. love the show but yeah, when that brat seven came in it got boring. Al got goofier as the show went on and some of the No Ma'am stuff was funny.

saw the ep the other day with Marcys cousin who admitted to being a lesbian. this was Amanda Bearse's way of coming out as she was directing the show at the time. cant think of any characters i really hate apart from that kid. Griff and Officer Dan are pretty funny. yeah would love to see Al win a bit more. great show tho

When did you first see it? When it was on

Characters you liked/disliked? The characters were all so superficial but amazingly so well developed. The early seasons cast were exceptional

Storylines you liked/disliked? My memory isnt that sharp but it was almost an unmissable show

Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note? Yeah all been noted

Any other thoughts on Married With Children? The best there is was or ever will be, well fairl close to being one of the best US sitcoms IMHO

My wife always use to parody Peggy as she saw me as a type of Al. Sat on the couch with my hands down my pants
Ah memories, and my Mrs looks a little like Peg as well

[Old HBM account]

I used to love this show - I even recently bought a No Ma'am tshirt.

I suppose if there was one thing I didn't like about the show it was when they would give the dog a voice.

Did I hear that a year or two ago that Christina Applegate had a double masectomy? Damn...
