Married With Children Review

Obnoxious, raunchy and offensive...  Who didn't Al Bundy upset?  Who didn't laugh?  I laughed and sometimes literally rolled on the floor laughing.

Married With Children was possibly the first major hit for the fledgling Fox TV Network.  Now, it seems to be back on almost every station - in re-runs.  Nominated for 6 Emmy Awards and winner of many TV Land Awards, this show gives everyone a glimpse at pure "white trash" in the Chicagoland suburbs.

Ed O'Neill stars as lowly shoe salesman Al Bundy.  Always scheming to come up with a "get rich quick" gimmick...he always fails.  Perhaps he's cursed by the red-headed monster known as Peg Bundy. (Katey Sagal) Peg is content to do nothing all day but sit on the couch, eat bon-bons, watch Oprah on TV and humiliate Al on his 'love making' capabilities.

Al & Peg have two totally disfunctional children - Christina Applegate as the over-sexed Kelly Bundy and David Faustino as the under-sexed Bud Bundy.  Bud couldn't get a girl if his life depended on it.  Kelly is the ultimate "dumb blonde"...dumb as a rock but gorgeous. 

If you somehow missed even one episode of Married With Children - check your local listings and get ready to split a gut laughing.  That's if you can take a show filled with innuendos and jokes aimed at everything from religion to politics.

A few memorable quotes from Married With Children:

Peggy: I tried to get Al to fix the driveway a long time ago. But his philosophy is why improve a home you're only going to live in anyway?

Al: It's not that I couldn't be happy without you, Peg. It's just that I couldn't be happy. Perhaps that is the true Bundy Legacy.
Peggy: I thought the true Bundy Legacy was underwear with just an elastic band.

Peggy: And if you had what other men have, I wouldn't need BATTERIES ANYMORE.
Al: THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DIEHARD.

No comment...  Figure it out for yourself.
