Thread: Married With Children

  1. #1

    Default Married With Children

    Anyone seen this show? I know the last season aired in 99 or something, but it was one of my favorite shows of all time. I'm surprised it didn't make TV Guides' best shows of all time, because Friends is SO overated. The script is so ditsy and simple, I don't know how so many people can like it. Their isn't an ounce of talent between any of the 6 cast members IMO.

    Anyways, MWC had a lot of bathroom humor and such and while the script wasn't too much better than Friends'...Ed O'Neal was the main catalyst for the show. My dad was the one who introduced me to the show, he use to watch it non-stop. Now they don't even play reruns anymore. But that whole Bundy family...so damn hilarious. It's odd how the Bundys are so poor yet their nextdoor neighbors are so rich.

    One of my favorite moments from the show was how Al had a super remote that changes the channels of other TVs hundreds of yards away. Then Jefferson came over and wondered why his TV kept changing channels. XD I swear, other than Seinfeld, no other show has made me laugh so much. It was something that at first was kind of over the top, and some compared Al Bundy to Archie Bunker, but I think Al Bundy was a bit more subdued and that was the selling point for America. I loved it...I miss the show so much. I think their were 9 seasons, but only the first 3 seasons are on DVD AFAIK.

    If this is the show I think you're talking about, then I really like it. The one show I'm thinking of has the bald father and the wife that is a little big, and has the genius kid who has a crush on the little girl.

    It's either that show or the one with the son, Junior, with the big head who got his girlfriend pregnant.

    I used to watch it when I was little and my dad would tell me to stop watching trash. I watch reruns whenever I can find them.

    Kelly was so dumb. "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have seen 'Lost in Space' at all"

    But I liked her.

    Al Bundy is one of the greatest television characters of all time. This show was a classic.

    MWC is probably THE best show that was ever aired
    Al Bundy is THE personification of every working man, which is why i like him.

    GOLD STAR. We used to watch that show as a family, and we still do when we catch re-runs on F/X. *cough cough Dingo it still comes on cough*

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I agree also.

    Also that song by Frank Sinatra is cool,

    Love and marriage, love and marriage
    Go together like a horse and carriage
    This I tell you brother
    You can’t have one without the other

    Love and marriage, love and marriage
    It’s an institute you can’t disparage
    Ask the local gentry
    And they will say it’s elementary

    Try, try, try to separate them
    It’s an illusion
    Try, try, try, and you will only come
    To this conclusion

    Love and marriage, love and marriage
    Go together like a horse and carriage
    Dad was told by mother
    You can’t have one without the other

    Best line of the show? "No fish will ever touch my grill."

    When I get my own hibachi, I'm going to follow that rule like a religion. Beef, pork, and poultry, only. And ain't no one gonna break it.

    Then this woman comes in who doesn't speak English. She points at the shoes, I point at the door. She points at the sky and then knees me in the nay-nays!"

    "Let me explain. It’s just like an elevator. There’s a 2 ton weight limit on those shoes..."

    "A customer walks into the shoestore today. A tall willowy brunette. She sits down and asks to try on a pair of size 12 pumps. So I sit down there, doing my business and I notice she's wearing a garter belt whick I like. All the time she'd smiling at me. Suddenly she uncrosses her legs like in Basic Instinct..... It was a guy!!!"

    "A fat woman walked into the shoe store today. She was so fat, she had three smaller women orbiting around her."

    "A woman comes into the shoestore today, so huge she's protected by GreenPeace. She asked for a pair of sixe 4 so I asked if she'd eat them here or take them home. Then she has the nerver to complain about my performnce!"

    "A fat woman godzillas into the shoe store today, she asks for something she could wear to walk in the woods. Jokingly I suggest she wear a sign that says "Don't shoot! From the front I look human!"."

    “A fat woman came into the shoe store today. Wanted a pair of shoes for a Christmas party. I told her to stand on her hands, put a star in her butt and go as the world’s largest, ugliest tree!”

    A little kid and his mum are in the store. The kid says "I want a balloon" and Al replies (looking at the fat mother) "You've already got one!".

    "Then a woman comes into the store, with a crocked nose and asked for something that will make her pretty. I told her that it will take a long time until someone that ugly to come and stand near her"

    I loved psycho dad! My dad still sings that song.

    I loved MWC, and I think my favorite episode was when Al took his 'vacation', in front of the tv. He roped off the couch and pretended he was somewhere else... classic.

    My family always watched it together, and my Uncle would always sign his Christmas cards to 'Al and Peg' when he sent them to us.

    I love that show. It was definitely one of my favorite shows to watch. There's also a similar show with the stuffed talking bunny, Unhappily Ever After. These shows about dysfunctional families are great.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Yes, that show was classic. It came out when I was very young and lasted about 10 years, and then I saw it end. I was sad...it was hands down one of the best television shows ever, and the most realistic sitcom.
    I like Kung-Fu.
