Ever wonder what made the Bundy family so unforgettable? "Married... with Children" aired from 1987 to 1997 and became one of the longest-running sitcoms of its time, lasting 11 seasons. The show focused on Al Bundy, a disgruntled shoe salesman, his wife Peggy, and their two kids, Kelly and Bud, offering a satirical take on the traditional family sitcom with its crude humor and dysfunctional dynamics.

Unlike the wholesome family shows of the era, this series broke ground by portraying a family that was far from perfect, often poking fun at societal norms and expectations. It was one of the first primetime shows on the then-new Fox network, helping establish Fox as a major player in television. The show’s bold approach to comedy earned it both criticism and a cult following over its 259 episodes.

Interestingly, the character of Al Bundy was partly inspired by real-life working-class frustrations, making his rants about life relatable to many viewers. The show’s legacy includes influencing later edgy comedies and proving that audiences were ready for something different from the typical TV family. Even today, "Married... with Children" is remembered for its unapologetic humor and unforgettable characters.
