Married... with Children (1987)

Married... with Children (1987) is a raunchy, fast-paced sitcom about Al Bundy, a bitter, down-on-his-luck shoe salesman, and his wildly dysfunctional family. Over 11 seasons the show mines everyday frustrations and suburban life for darkly comic effect: Al’s world is a string of failed schemes, workplace misery and constant battles with his lazy, self-indulgent wife Peggy, his dim but attractive daughter Kelly, and his scheming, wannabe‑ladies’‑man son Bud. Neighborly feuds with the upward‑moving Marcy (and her successive husbands) add recurring sparks. What you’ll experience watching: - Sharp, often politically incorrect humor and blunt one‑liners aimed at the conventions of family sitcoms and suburban aspirations. - Episodic, gag‑driven plots full of physical comedy, sarcastic banter and recurring running jokes. - A satirical take on marriage, gender roles and the American dream seen through a blue‑collar, antihero lens. - Loud, in‑your‑face characters whose flaws are played for laughs rather than redemption. If you like edgy, character‑based comedies that trade sentiment for satire and relish memorable catchphrases and outrageous situations, Married... with Children delivers consistently irreverent laughs.
