"Married With Children" was a satire of the clean, wholesome sitcoms of the 50s and 60s such as Ozzie and Harriet, Leave It to Beaver, My Three Sons, The Patty Duke Show, etc., and so on...
@@kylestubbs8867 Not the pc culture of everything works out by just doing your best and wverything's great. Sometimes you just get Negan and everything waddle away at you until allyou got left is lashing out with snark and a quick witt.
It's hard to say between Mama and Al Bundy but the the thing about Mama was that was my grandma. When I watched that show I swore they put hidden video cameras in my grandparents' house and spied on them to get the idea for that character LOL
You're right about the TV shows of that time. Most of the network shows were about loving, caring, moral families so a big part of the inspiration for 'Married With Children' was to be the opposite of 'The Cosby Show' and it helped get the new Fox network some big ratings and led to other hit shows.
Oh yeah definitely. Al Bundy was hilarious ASF! He was supposed to be a spoof of the typical masculine, American man. Someone to wouldn't want to be but now without PC everything is, he's practically a freaking hero.
You are correct.. at the time all the family shows showed the happy family with their day-to-day problems. That's why they wanted to go the opposite with Married with Children and show a dysfunctional family and be over the top with everything they did.
I wish I could've been there to explain the context of these scenes. I've seen every episode dozens of times and these clips still crack me up. I think knowing what was happening helps some.
@Lostmymind1 believe you're talking about the clip where he says he'd like to burry a shovel between her eyes. They had a relative die & the first Bundy to have a child would inherit a bunch of money so they were having a lot of sex which was basically killing Al. Before that scene the kids wheeled him in & they had to pick him up out of the seat & commented how light he was. They also put him in clothes bigger than he is to make him look like he lost a ton of weight. He finds out in that scene that Peggy has been taking birth control to not get pregnant, and he's about to fake a positive pregnancy test to mess with her.
Yeah Married With Children was savage comedy. But Sanford and Son, All in the Family and The Jeffersons were all from the 70s and all were savage and some of the funniest sitcoms ever made.
This is definitely a show worth buying the box set. It was great when it was on, and it took to the last few seasons to really taper off. And Al rarely won, but when he did, he really deserved it. Perhaps the best victory was his "So you think I'm a loser" speech. It makes every day a victory for him, and it's still relevant to this day! He was a bit unfortunate, but he was, and still is, a role model for all men.
The show opened in the 80s. There were shows like this though. Go back a few years and you'll find All In The Family. Ed based the character of Al Bundy on his uncle who was a district court judge.
Mama's family has that spicy main character but Married with Children has so many characters. Each one is hilarious I. Their own way. Its not just Al Bundy, it's the whole family thats fucked up. I mean, they do WILD SHIT.
Thelma 'Mama' Crowley Harper and Al Bundy would not go off on each other. More likely they'd team up destroy people's inner souls and high five and laugh.
Big Al was the most loving and kind American there ever was. Absolutely nobody was immune to his loving personality, not even his drinking buddies. The loved everybody equally, and never played favorites.
His hair was white cause him and peggy been having ALOT of relations. Al's uncle had died and whatever relative who had a kid first and named it after him got a big inheritance.
And thats why I really liked it. (Looks ate in the eye of the beholder) the fact is both him and Peg are in great shape for their age in the show and I of course find Peg super sexy I would believe that women to a degree would find Al sexy ( physically)..... but as you know.... their married with children
I love that they designed this show to be the opposite of the Cosby's. A family that you'd hate. However people saw so many things that they had in common with them that the show became a huge success. One of those concepts that failed successfully.
11:34 Things weren't really darker back then, especially not on TV. The show was satirical and the first of its kind to do anything like this, but it was funny and people enjoyed something different than the usual fake portrayal of family life, like Andy Griffin, The Brady Bunch, The Cosby Show, etc. People in normal suburban life, rarely acted in a manner he portrayed, you'd get arrested if you pulled out a bat to threatened someone. And before cell, text, and mobile Internet were mainstream, word of mouth reputation among those in a neighborhood was much more important, if you treated neighborhood children or your own kids the way he did, you'd be a total outcast, people wouldn't want to be associated with you.
Im truly disappointed in myself, for not thinking of that........I think Al and Mama meeting would have been one of the greatest episodes EVER! Peace and Love!✌🏻
Feminists and the "body positivity" movement would go CRAZY if this show came out today. The only show more controversial than this is all in the family and many tried to "cancel" that show lol
Al Bundy is an American legend.
And the uk loves him aswell
AG!
Polk High #33 Legend
Al Bundy IS America
He was the Chosen One!
Al Bundy is savage, but speaks his mind about everything!
Too many Karen's today wouldn't tolerate it.
Al closing the door on people... this never gets old.
I also love when he not even opens the door to help kellys visitors out of the house 😅🤣
Librarian: Make a promise keep a promise
Young Al: yea yea bake a pie eat a pie
“Why go out for milk when you have a cow at home” 😂😂😭
Imagine saying that today lol
They fought with each other but mess with one Bundy you gotta fight the whole bunch!! 😂😂 And i loved that Al was overprotective over Kelly, so sweet 🥰
"Married With Children" was a satire of the clean, wholesome sitcoms of the 50s and 60s such as Ozzie and Harriet, Leave It to Beaver, My Three Sons, The Patty Duke Show, etc., and so on...
The working title for this show in pre-production before they settled on the final name was "Not the Cosbys".
Strikes a bit differently now… but what did it mean back then?

'You didn't have shows like this'
All in the family begs to differ.
Peg (coming home): Hi, Al, i'm home. Did you miss me?
Al: With every bullet so far.
Al Bundy is famous in the UK for being everyones Dad. Love it
It's hard to say between Mama and Al Bundy but the the thing about Mama was that was my grandma. When I watched that show I swore they put hidden video cameras in my grandparents' house and spied on them to get the idea for that character LOL
The reason the show was successful it was more relatable and ahead of its time there was nothing like it in tv
Actually, I think Al Bundy and Thelma Harper would have beers and commiserate over how bad their families are.
All shows back then occasiomally had insults as comedy.. but married with children made them into running gags in every show.
😂 love being back to this channel
Love the kid at the library, so funny🤣
That's Al. As a kid.
11 seasons of pure gold
Al Bundy and Fred Sanford were the most savage on TV
I think that Archie bunker, Sanford and son,& the Jefferson .... made the way for married with children
This is the big one, I'm coming Elisabeth!

True, the original title of the show was to be "Not the Cosbys"
Married with children was an updated version of the 70s All In The Family Al Bundy was Archie bunker

0:50 1987 to 1997, Mario and Nicole.
Used to be my favorite show. Got em all on dvd
It was 1987-1997, the best show ever!!!
I wish I could've been there to explain the context of these scenes. I've seen every episode dozens of times and these clips still crack me up. I think knowing what was happening helps some.
.........why did Al Bundy have Guy Fieri's hair in the one clip?

7:28 One of the best scenes ever! His laugh is hilarious!
More true to life than the cosby show
Before it was eventually titled "Married with Children" it was in development under the name "Not the Cosbys"

Golden Girls had some savages too.
Al Bundy didn't have any filters and that made the show a hit when it was on the air.
One of the best shows ever made. Love it.
Thanks For The Laughs & The Memories Of Yesteryear 🤣🥳😂😄 👋🏼-✌🏼
I forgot about Mama's Family but I watched both shows a ton back then.
1:18 That woman's scream in the audience! LOL
One of my all time favorite shows great reaction guy's
In a way married with children was like the 90s version of All in the Family
Wonderful shirt Nicole!
The show opened in the 80s. There were shows like this though. Go back a few years and you'll find All In The Family. Ed based the character of Al Bundy on his uncle who was a district court judge.
3:32 Al's Thanos moment

People back then knows to take a joke. And now people these day are so sensitive.
Big Al was the most loving and kind American there ever was. Absolutely nobody was immune to his loving personality, not even his drinking buddies. The loved everybody equally, and never played favorites.
I'm glad I grew up with MWC. Good times.
His hair was white cause him and peggy been having ALOT of relations. Al's uncle had died and whatever relative who had a kid first and named it after him got a big inheritance.
The Show started in 1987 and ended in 1997
Late 80's to The Late 90's. 💯
Al Bundy was my favorite character but love Kelly Bundy even more
Good job guys. Trying to understand white humor is brutal man, for real killer man!
The 70s and 80s had some savage classics
The show was called ‘Married… With Children’.
Crackheads: “🤯😳😄Lookit me, BITCHES! ICANWRITE ON TUBE?!”
🖕🏻🌡
Honestly I think if y'all watched it now you all would enjoy the show very much
He hated his wife, but deep down, really loved her. He's juts bored of her.
And thats why I really liked it. (Looks ate in the eye of the beholder) the fact is both him and Peg are in great shape for their age in the show and I of course find Peg super sexy I would believe that women to a degree would find Al sexy ( physically)..... but as you know.... their married with children
At the end the dogs always run upstairs and bring back his slippers.
Gone are the days that we could just laugh at anything without being cancelled
I love that they designed this show to be the opposite of the Cosby's. A family that you'd hate. However people saw so many things that they had in common with them that the show became a huge success. One of those concepts that failed successfully.
best show ever but would have been cancelled 10000% in todays cancel culture
Cancel culture sucks 100%
Al Bundy is The Goat!
The show was on from April 5th 1987 to June 9th 1997
*NO-MAAM*
Al Bundy is a role model lol
I love this show it was funny because it's reality
Mama V.S. Al would be like Godzilla V.S. King Kong
The kid at the library IRS supposed to be Al Bundy as a kid.

His uncle in real life was like that. Thats how he got this character
Al Bundy for president!"Hooters and beer's for every one"!!!
Try listening to Redd Foxx in the show Sanford and Son when Ester comes over to visit. Or even the Jeffersons show. Both were great and savage then.
Aunt Esther is still one of my favorite characters on TV. Her and Fred were epic.
Married With Children first aired in 1987 and ran for almost 20 years.
The show ran from 1988 to 1997
1987
Al Bundy, hands down.
1987 to 1997 an awesome decade of tv comedy😊
Al Bundy the GOAT 😁
Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns for Poke High
Married With Children is late 80’s to late 90’s. 1987 to 1997.
There's better Bundy clips but this one I wish it would have shown him throwing the boyfriends out the door
Al bundy vs Betty white's character from hot in cleavland they were both masters of the burn.
“Married With Children” was the anti “Cosby Show”…
Im truly disappointed in myself, for not thinking of that........I think Al and Mama meeting would have been one of the greatest episodes EVER! Peace and Love!✌🏻
The people weren't butt-hurt BY. EVERY. LITTLE. THING.
They were indeed darker,, but also in your face,, wene we could all laugh at our selves together 🤔🤔😎👍🤘
Thelma Harper vs. Al Bundy...Let's get!!!
Al Bundy is a global icon and a national treasure.
Al gave folks the business
Epic video...Archie bunker (all in the family) vs Al Bundy.
You need to find All in the Family
Fox was trying to expand viewership (new network). They had a lot of shows dancing on the edge of censorship including this one and In Living Color.
The title Married With Kids. It's "Married With Children." 🤣
First time watching you guys. Great reaction. Also, like the Ohio shirt. Thanks from Dayton.
I cried 🤣😂
Mama & Al Bundy, don't hold a candle, to Sophia Petrillo, from The Golden Girls.
My Mom is a complete idiot and my x-wife is evil! But why fight it when you can laugh at it!?
I found out that the series is being revived.. but as an animated series
Feminists and the "body positivity" movement would go CRAZY if this show came out today. The only show more controversial than this is all in the family and many tried to "cancel" that show lol
The role of Peg was originally written for Roseanne Barr, and Sam Kinnison was written for Al Bundy. That would have been wierd.
I miss Sam
Mama's family she would have joined Al and took on the world
Best TV show out of America since… nah…. Best TV show out of America full stop
