Did you ever notice that in all of these "loser" comedy shows, the guy who is portrayed as a loser actually has quite a bit of success in life. Al Bundy actually has many moments where he comes out ahead in many episodes. If he was truly such a "loser" the show wouldn't be that funny. No, he isn't a financial winner but he seems to come out pretty well in other ways. Notice the point the writers seem to be making about his neighbor Marcy, who is clearly wealthier than Al and yet is more unsatisfied.

Go Team Bundy.

I've actually one of Al Bundy's replies...and I did it during a wedding. I was a groomsman, and one of the bridesmaids kept trying to get me to go on a date with her. The bride and groom, being sadistic friends, decided to pair that particular bridesmaid with me for the event - which is one of the reasons they were my friends (we're all more than slightly sarcastic and mildly sadistic toward each other). At the end of the ceremony, when each bridesmaid and groomsman were coming together to walk down the aisle, the bridesmaid actually said the Peggy Bundy line, "So, did you miss me?" ...to which, without missing a beat, I immediately replied, "With every bullet so far." The wedding photographer caught the results of this exchange on film, with me smiling and the bridesmaid glaring, and THAT was the photo which the newlywed couple had printed, framed, and mounted above their fireplace.

This show came on when you could insult someone and it be taken as a joke. The show aired between 1987-1997

I was born in '82. Married With Children was my childhood! We were very poor, and watching this show made me feel better. It always made me laugh. I still occasionally put this show on while I'm doing chores and still find the jokes just as funny. Al Bundy and his 4 touchdowns in one game will always have a special place in my heart 💙

I used to watch it weekly loving every episode! It is hilarious.

Married with children was aired from about 1988-89 to 1997-98

This was the number 1 show at the time

You can watch all of the episodes still today...Married With Children was so popular in the 80s and 90s that it ran for 11 seasons.

The story is of a guy great in high-school football on his way to a possible college scholarship, but at the "big play" at the state championship flubbed and dropped the ball, leading to the other school winning. AND now how his life has never worked out for the better ever since and he's bitter about it. Absolute great premise. It was the total reverse of all the feel good family sitcoms of the 60's and 70's.

That was one of my favorite reactions that you’ve done. Just seeing you try not to fully laugh was outstanding. Bravo my friend.

watched it from pilot thru to the end. Since I was in the military for some of that time, I missed and had to catch them on the reruns. Epic series. Never be afraid to laugh at comedy. We have lost the ability to laugh at our selves and with others. Comedy is the purest of poking fun at all things.

I see Al Bundy, I insta-like! Literally my favorite show of all time.

This is the good stuff. Let's get ready to laugh!

His delivery was flawless! This was my Dad’s favorite show and we loved it!!! How he kept a straight face I’ll never understand!

This show was way ahead of its time. It premiered on Fox along with "In Living Color" which was also very funny. They both pushed the limits at the time.

This was one of the shows my whole Family watched together, it’s still one of the funniest shows ever made..

I absolutely love al bundy!! I always die of laughter!!

Grew up watching it, it was one of my favorites to watch. It's still being shown on cable.

I watched this show in the 90s, and it's still fun to this day. They delivery is what sells the jokes.

This show was AMAZING. Definitely watch it if you can. People today are sucky and weak. Embrace comedy. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we end up being soft and critical of others, often unfairly. A big problem western people have today is that they're walking on eggshells to not trigger the woke idiots. Trigger them. Who cares? They're idiots. Do it on purpose by enjoying the content. Don't let them steal your joy. They don't make anything, they just attack. You make enjoyable content. Don't let them control you.

I’m not sure the humor would hit the same way in other countries but I grew up watching All in the Family, M.A.S.H., The Jeffersons, etc. Most gen Z would melt into puddles at the humor from those shows. 😂

I love/ loved Married With Children. I grew up on this show. I remember when the show first came out. I’m Gen X

Married with children is one of the longest running tv series in history. Show was on like 20 years.

The Show was awesome back in the day. Still fun to go back and watch some episodes.

I loved this show. I had such a hard job at the time, and the highlight of my day was getting home and watching Married with Children. The casting was brilliant because they took a serious, classic actor and put him in a sit com. Christina Applegate as the daughter was also stellar casting.

One of my favorite TV shows. I grew up on this classic

Married With Children ran from 1982 - 1993. The actor is Ed O'Neill and he did star on Modern Family.

Iconic show. Laughed every episode. Very popular in the US

Ed O'Neill is actually a very nice guy in person. The writing on this show was amazing.

How dare you say that to my face" "Well, i would have said it behind your back, but my car only has a half tank of gas!!!"

Al Bundy: Ed O'Neill..Fun Fact: He played linebacker for the Lions from 1974 to 1979 and the Green Bay Packers in 1980. In December 2007, after 16 years of training, O'Neill received his black belt. He was in several movies (A great Actor)

This is what we watched back in the day. Never apologize for finding humor in things. If we can't laugh at life, warts and all, what is the point of living? Don't be afraid of what others think of you. If someone don't like something you find funny, that is a them problem. Not a you problem. Also, if you were to watch the whole series you would see that Al oftentimes got it as good as he gave.

I family grew up watching Al Bundy and we loved the show till now 2024

This show was on in 90’s and Al Bundy was my idol

I have all 11 Season DVDs. Love it.

My hubby and I watched all the episodes. Also All In The Family. Two of the best shows ever.

I watched it all the time. Al is savage. A lot of people would be sooo offended. This is comedy folks and I'm not this big but I have some weight that could come off. I'm not laughing at y'all I'm just laughing. He insults everyone not just heavy people.

I am forty five years old and this was one of my favorite shows growing up

This was a great show! And never apologize for having a sense of humor.

Yep, that''s Jay from Modern Family. Loved this show, must have seen every episode at least a dozen times.

Yes, Al Bundy is played be Ed O'neil, who played the Jay Pritchett in Modern Family. And Katie Segel plays Peg Bundy, voice of Lela in Futurama. Jenny Craig is a ompany that provides weight loss programs.

Married with Children was a savage sitcom, even back before everyone got wussy and comedians took pride in being offensive. Al Bundy was a former football star whose life went to shambles - trapped as a mall shoe salesman with a nagging wife and disrespectful kids, he's got nothing left to lose so he holds nothing back. Particularly with Marcie who, ever since moving in next door, never passed up any opportunity to insult Al - he returned the 'favor' by never passing up any opportunity to hit her with some form of "chicken" insult. "Jenny Craig" and "Slim-Fast" were popular weight loss programs of the era. If you get the chance, find the Married with Children Christmas Special with Sam Kinneson called "It's a Bundyful Life". Your sides will be aching for days from laughing so hard!

Loved this sitcom when it was on TV.

Married With Children was an AMAZING show.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm late to finding this but I'll answer your question anyway. Everyone I knew (including myself) LOVED this show at the time. All of the characters are epic. I'm so glad you enjoyed this!

How can you not know Married With Children, this TV serie was extremely popular throughout Europe in the 80s & 90s and was on re-run for many years in pretty much every western European country. Second to Friends when it comes to how many times it was aired.
