“Married with Children” was a groundbreaking sitcom that courted controversy from its inception.
Created by Ron Leavitt and Michael Moy, the show challenged the wholesome family sitcoms of the 1980s by depicting the dysfunctional Bundy family.
Led by grumpy patriarch Al Bundy and lazy wife Peggy, the Bundys broke taboos with their crude humor and provocative storylines.
The show faced backlash from viewers, politicians, and advertisers, culminating in the banning of the infamous episode “I’ll See You in Court” during its third season.
However, the ban only fueled curiosity, and the episode eventually aired over a decade later.
Despite its controversies, “Married with Children” became a cultural phenomenon, paving the way for more boundary-pushing television.
