Married… with Children is a popular American sitcom about a dysfunctional family living in Chicago that lasted 11 seasons over a span of 10 years. It was the first-ever prime time television series to air on the FOX network, debuting on April 5, 1987, and airing its final first-run broadcast on June 9, 1997. The series was created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt. The show featured various racy topics which garnered the fledgling FOX network a standing among the Big Three Television Networks (i.e., ABC, NBC and CBS).
The show's 259 episodes over 11 seasons make it the second-longest-lasting sitcom on the FOX network (second only to The Simpsons). The show's theme song is "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra.
Synopsis
The show follows the lives of Al Bundy, a once-glorious high school football player turned hard-luck salesman of women's shoes, his wife, Peggy, a tartish, uneducated housewife known for her large red bouffant hairdo, 1960s clothes and funny walk due to always wearing high heels, and their two children: Kelly, their attractive, promiscuous, dim-witted daughter, and Bud, their unpopular and girl-crazy but intelligent son (as the only Bundy who ever attended college). Their neighbors are the upwardly mobile Steve and Marcy Rhoades. (Marcy later marries second husband Jefferson D'Arcy.) Most storylines involve a scheming Al being foiled by his cartoonish dim wit and bad luck. His rivalry and loathing of Marcy also play a significant role in most episodes.
