You could do anything with him - he could be a caring Dad, a protective Dad, a cool Dad, a terrible Dad, a spiteful husband, an angry co-worker, and an old pervert in the same episode. And you'd always believe it.
That kiss of death thing is bullshit. The show got so much better with Jefferson than with steve, and the ratings were the highest with Jefferson. They ran out of ideas eventually and the stories just got crazy far fetched before it ended
Ted McGinly had a stigma for being a show killer because of his late appearances on Happy Days and Love Boat. I don't think it applied to Married With Children
Sometimes I pretend that “Modern Family” is a spin-off of MWC, where Al gets rich and leaves Peggy.. Bud becomes the gay son and Kelly is the daughter.. they all changed their names so Peggy can’t find them, because Peggy joined the Sons Of Anarchy biker gang and wants to kill them..
The good seasons are better than any season of Seinfeld. The problem is the last 4 or 5 seasons were not good. It is amazing that despite that it is still one of, if not the, best sitcoms ever.
God I miss when sitcoms were funny. All this hipsterized sitcoms with the zappy fast dialogue that all the comedy snob faggots love just makes me angry. MwC was great because the pacing was more nature and it felt like you were watching some weird play about a miserable woman hating asshole, Al Bundy was the best character of the 90s as far as I'm concerned.
Never thought about that, but no one else could pulled it off better than Ed O'Neill then Colin. Peg and Kelly were perfectly cast, Bud could have been replaced by Anthony Michael Hall.
Al bundy goes along with opie and Anthony as influences that made me a shit person. I grew up trying to insult the shit out of people for laughs but that only works sometimes.
holy fuck. is it just me or does the first guy on the left in the shoe store (bespectacled indian) look like Andrew from the tim & eric episode “Origins” where they created the website in 1996?
Married with children is one of the most memorable TV series that I have watched as a kid. Despite the fact that the jokes are somewhat not very suitable for an 11-year old girl, I laughed at them and did not get too deep into them. This is also what I recommend to the people who think it is quite sexist sitcom - it is not. They make jokes about everyone - the handsome men, the beautiful Barbie doll looking girls, the housewives, 40+ years old men, etc.
So I suggest you to run MWC marathon for the good old time. Well, at least this is what I would do once I go home from work.

"Veto! I say, Veto!"
Even the kiss of death Ted McGinley didn't diminish that show for me.
1 BoardroomBimmy 2018-04-26
I still think that the Steve and single Marcy years were the best, but Jefferson was still funny in his own right.
1 Fagghouli 2018-04-26
Jefferson was the best character though.
1 lifeobenreilly 2018-04-26
Nah, Al was.

MWC was so much better than overrated Jewfeld.
1 harrymudd44 2018-04-26
Ive been saying for years that MWC is better than Seinfeld (which is also great)

No comparison, steve was a terrible character compared to Jefferson

You can get the entire MWC series in DVD for around $25 on Amazon. Best investment I ever made.
Something for you all to consider treating yourselves to when your SSDI and/or welfare checks come in 5 days from now.

I was always so depressed by this show
1 Not_My_Real_Acct_ 2018-04-26
I was around 12 when this show was on, and I couldn't comprehend why Al didn't want to fuck his hot wife
1 CuckECheese 2018-04-26
I'm 25 and I still don't understand why Al didn't want to fuck his hot wife.

Christina Applegate can be annoying these days, but she STILL defends this show in 2018. That's gotta count for something.
1 onemancrimespree 2018-04-26
Imagine Colin Quinn playing this role
1 DickyMcGrumpy 2018-04-26
Never thought about that, but no one else could pulled it off better than Ed O'Neill then Colin. Peg and Kelly were perfectly cast, Bud could have been replaced by Anthony Michael Hall.
1 Spokker 2018-04-26
Al always lost in the end though.
1 throwawizzlemahnizzl 2018-04-26
I've listened to O&A so much that Al reminds me of Colin
