Married... with Children is an American sitcom created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt. The series is notable for being the first primetime series to ever broadcast on the Fox network. Having aired for 11 seasons, it remains the longest-running live-action sitcom to air on Fox, and at one point was the longest-running show in network history until being surpassed by Cops in 1999.

Show Description[]

  • The show follows the lives of a dysfunctional Chicago family consisting of Al Bundy, a former high school football player turned hard-luck women's shoe salesman, his lazy wife, Peggy, their pretty but dim-witted daughter, Kelly, and their smart-aleck son, Bud.
