Married With Children (1987-1997)

I think it's not necessary to make a prolog about the finest sitcom ever to air on TV. Just post your favourite moments and the discussion will get going.

Oh, and Marcy looks like a chicken!

One of my favorite episodes was when they hosted a French exchange student (played by a teenage Milla Jovovich). After walking around the high school all day with Kelly, Yvette asks her: "Kelly, will we actually be going into any of the classrooms today?" After stealing all of Kelly's boyfriends, Kelly makes an offer to Yvette: 'go out and have fun and you can cheat off my tests tomorrow. ' Yvette doesn't understand that Kelly is an idiot, and she ends up failing all her classes, including FRENCH!

Another classic was Sam Kinison as a guardian angel sent down at Christmas to show Al how much everyone's life would be worse off if Al had never been born, but it turns out everyone's life would have been better. Angel: I'm sorry, Bundy. I failed you. I was sent down to Earth to show you a reason why you should live, but I can't think of one damn reason. I'll never get my wings now. And you know what kind of woman you get up in Heaven driving around in a '78 Pinto? The same kind of woman you get down here driving around in a '78 Pinto.

Another great episode was when all the women in the neighborhood were getting "peeped" by a pervert; everyone but Peg. At a community meeting in the Bundy home a busty blond woman runs in claiming she'd just been peeped and Al asks: "Can you show us what he saw?" Peg even puts milk and cookies and a ladder in the bedroom window to encourage the sleazebag to peep on her, but eventually Al has to dress up as the peeping Tom in order to make Peg feel good, but he pays a heavy price.

I've got the first 7 seasons on dvd.

One favourite is the Bundys and Darcy's fighting over the property line. The moment when Al gatecrashes the jacuzzi with Marcy shouting: "Al, what are you doing?" and Al's: "Blind, if you stand up."

and most episodes involving Bad to the Bone, Al's 4 touchdowns, Al smacking Kelly's boyfriends into furniture and put downs of fat women.

Al Bundy's my personal hero.

Peggy: How come you never take me to the beach?
Al: What's the point you'll only find your way home.

The episode that finally put the show on the map of pop culture:


Marcy Rhoades: What if men had breasts?
Al Bundy: Then we wouldn't need women anymore.
Peggy Bundy: And if you had what other men had, I wouldn't need batteries anymore.
Al Bundy: That's what happened to my Diehard!



Al: I'm in real trouble here, Steve. They discontinued my wife's bra, yet my wife lives on. If I don't get her a good birthday present, I'm in big trouble. It could get ugly. She could want affection. And as we know, affection is just a hammerlock away from sex.

This one cracks me everytime!

"Am I trully nothing? Could the neighbourhood children be right?"

My favourite gag from Married With Children in the episode where Steve and Al worry about going bald:

Marcy: I'm getting worried Peg, usually Steve takes me to an art film on Mondays, but last night he took me to an Elmer Fudd retrospective...and all he kept saying was "Isn't he sexy?"

Vanna White playing the wealthy self-made woman, former high school classmates of Al, who still has the hot for Al.

I like that the guy who played Al Bundy is on Modern Family now.

Isn't his character married to the Spanish broad with big tits?

That's believable.

His character is rich.

He's doing than Al did in terms of Peggy. Heck even with his kids.

"She's with us until we die!"

Married with Children was fun but the sort of unofficial spinoff series, Unhappily Ever After, that was even more hilarious and Nikki Cox is hotter than Christina Applegate.
