Over his career he has earned four Screen Actors Guild Awards as well as nominations for three Primetime Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards. He gained stardom for playing a working class father, Al Bundy, on the Fox sitcom Married… with Children (1987–1997) for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy twice. He had a career resurgence portraying the family patriarch Jay Pritchett on the award-winning ABC sitcom Modern Family (2009–2020), for which he was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series and won four Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Ensemble in a Comedy Series.[2][3] He portrayed Governor Eric Baker in the drama series The West Wing (2004–2005) and Donald Sterling in the FX on Hulu limited series Clipped (2024). On film, he made his debut in the William Friedkin crime thriller Cruising (1980). He has since appeared in the Wayne’s World film series (1991–1992), Dutch (1991), Little Giants (1994), Prefontaine (1997), The Spanish Prisoner (1997), The Bone Collector (1999), Sun Dogs (2017), and The Last Shift (2020). He has done voice-work for animated films such as the Wreck-It Ralph franchise (2012–present) and Finding Dory (2016). Early life and educationEd O’Neill was born into an Irish-American Catholic family in Youngstown, Ohio, on April 12, 1946.[4][5][6] Both sides of his family are the descendants of Irish immigrants who came to the United States in the 1850s.[7] His mother, Ruth Ann (née Quinlan) (1924–2017), was a homemaker and social worker, and his father, Edward Phillip O’Neill (1921–2008), was a steel mill worker and truck driver.[6] O’Neill attended Ursuline High School where he played football. At 14, he worked in construction, then at a steel mill.[8] He was awarded a football scholarship to Ohio University, where he majored in history, and was a member of the Mu chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity.[9] He left the university after his sophomore year. He admits he spent more time playing sports and partying than studying.[9] He also feuded with his coach.[8] He transferred to Youngstown State University, where he lettered as a defensive lineman from 1967 to 1968.[10] As an undergraduate, he pledged Delta Sigma Phi and was initiated into the Delta Sigma chapter there.[6] While at Youngstown State, he played in a game against Roger Staubach, who was playing for the Pensacola Naval Station.[11] O’Neill said that his team was penalized 15 yards when he hit Staubach out of bounds.[12] Professional football careerO’Neill was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 under rookie head coach Chuck Noll but was cut in training camp, having to compete with fellow rookie defensive lineman Joe Greene and L. C. Greenwood for a roster spot. Both became key members of the Steel Curtain defense during the Steelers success in the 1970s.[5][6][13] Later, while on Married… with Children, O’Neill played a former high school football star who had failed to make it big and constantly reminisced about his “glory days” at Polk High (“I once scored four touchdowns in a single game”). As part of this theme, former Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw also made two guest appearances on the show. O’Neill worked as a substitute social studies teacher at his alma mater Ursuline High School before becoming an actor.[6] Acting career1979–1986: Early acting roles O’Neill in 2010O’Neill re-enrolled at Youngstown State after being cut by the Steelers and was one of the first students at the school’s new theater program.[8] Later, in 1979, he played a boxer opposite Danny Aiello in the Broadway play Knockout at the Helen Hayes Theatre. Richard Eder of The New York Times described the performance as “chilling” adding, “As Paddy Klonski, the brutal young boxer, Edward O’Neill’s towering physique, peaceful smile and empty eyes form a genuinely frightening presence”.[14] It was there that he was seen by director William Friedkin and landed his first movie role, as a police detective in Cruising, starring Al Pacino.[15] In 1985, O’Neill appeared in a Red Lobster commercial.[16] He made a brief guest appearance in The Equalizer. In 1986, he was cast as NYPD detective Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle for the planned television series Popeye Doyle. The character had originally appeared in the motion picture The French Connection (played by Gene Hackman). The two-hour made-for-television movie/pilot was filmed and shown on network television. O’Neill received good reviews for his performance, and the pilot received positive ratings, but the series was not picked up for production. 1987–2008: Married with Children and other rolesIn 1984, while playing the role of Lennie in a stage production of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men at Hartford Stage in Hartford, Connecticut, he was seen by a casting agent from the Fox television network and was asked to audition for the role of Al Bundy[17][18][19] in Married… with Children, a proposed sitcom about a dysfunctional family living in Chicago.[6] He won the part because, during the audition, he simply slumped his shoulders and sighed as he was about to walk through the front door of the home.[20] Married… with Children led off the first night of Fox’s primetime lineup on April 5, 1987, concluding after 11 seasons on June 9, 1997. During this time O’Neill starred in several films, including the family films Dutch (1991) and Little Giants (1994).[21] He also had small parts in the comedy films Wayne’s World (1992), and Wayne’s World 2 (1993).[21] He appeared as Relish the Troll King in The 10th Kingdom (2000). He took roles in the drama films Prefontaine (1997), The Spanish Prisoner (1997), and The Bone Collector (1999).[21] O’Neill made a brief appearance on the comedy variety show In Living Color, playing the “Dirty Dozens” champion who defeats the challenger, played by Jamie Foxx in 1994. He also made a cameo on the sitcom 8 Simple Rules as the ex-boyfriend of Cate S. Hennessy (played by Katey Sagal, who portrayed O’Neill’s wife Peggy Bundy on Married… with Children).[22] He appeared in the movie The Adventures of Ford Fairlane with Andrew Dice Clay. During the mid-1990s, he had a string of appearances in commercials for 1-800-COLLECT. Law & Order franchise creator Dick Wolf cast O’Neill as Sergeant Joe Friday in his 2003 update of Jack Webb’s long-running Dragnet media franchise.[23] The series was canceled by ABC in its second season. O’Neill went on to appear as Governor Eric Baker, a recurring character on the NBC political drama series The West Wing from 2004 to 2005.[24] O’Neill also played Bill on HBO’s television series John from Cincinnati. In 2008, O’Neill appeared in an advertisement for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama as “Al the Shoesalesman”.[25] In January 2009, O’Neill reunited with David Faustino (Bud Bundy from Married… with Children) for two episodes of Faustino’s show Star-ving.[26] O’Neill also appeared with the entire cast of Married… with Children again when they were honored at the 7th Annual TV Land Award show in 2009.[27] 2009–present: Resurgence with Modern FamilyFor eleven seasons O’Neill played the role of Jay Pritchett on the ABC sitcom Modern Family from 2009 to 2020. Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly wrote, “O’Neill may have the trickiest job here. A late-middle-ager remarried to a Latina bombshell…his Jay wants to enjoy his overdue-midlife-crisis prize but has to put up with her mope of a son…and do it without seeming like a mean old duffer. O’Neill and the writers pull it off by making Jay both deadpan sarcastic and a genuinely decent guy.”[28] Gina Bellafante of The New York Times wrote, “Mr. O’Neill exquisitely portrays the straight man to the fire engine of Sofia Vergara”.[29] Barry Garron of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, “O’Neill’s Al Bundy is one of TV’s most unforgettable characters, but this role will let viewers see him in a new light”.[30] The role earned him three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series nominations—in 2011, 2012, and 2013.[31][32][33] O’Neill won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Comedy Series four times from 2010 through 2013. Since 2012, O’Neill has done voice-overs in TV advertisements for the over-the-counter form of Zyrtec,[34] along with Walmart’s store-branded mobile phone service Straight Talk. In 2016, O’Neill starred as Hank the Octopus in the Pixar animated film Finding Dory. According to O’Neill, he didn’t realize at first that he had a starring role in the film. As his voice recording sessions continued and most of his interactions turned out to be with Dory, he began to suspect that Hank was a major character in the film.[35] O’Neill starred in FX on Hulu miniseries Clipped portraying Donald Sterling.[36] Andrew Lawrence of The Guardian gave the show a perfect score declaring, “Forty years of playing cranks on screen has given Ed O’Neill a particular understanding for Sterling’s quirks, gripes and foibles that few others in his field can claim”.[37] Daniel Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, “O’Neill leans hard into every aspect of his entitled grotesquerie, from the external — such a bad dye job — to the dazed certainty in his intonations. It’s not a subtle performance, but Donald Sterling’s general grossness wasn’t a secret”.[38] Quinci LeGardye of The A.V. Club stated, “O’Neill gives a skilled performance as a truly reprehensible human being”.[39] Personal lifeO’Neill is married to actress Catherine Rusoff. As of 2016, they were living in Los Angeles with their two daughters.[40] After being introduced to Brazilian jiu-jitsu by his friend writer/director John Milius, O’Neill has trained for 22 years under the mentoring of Rorion Gracie.[41] In December 2007, after 16 years of training, O’Neill received his black belt.[42][43] In the 2012 TV documentary I Am Bruce Lee, O’Neill states that he considers getting his black belt “the greatest achievement of my life, apart from my children.”[44] On May 18, 2013, O’Neill was the recipient of an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from his alma mater, Youngstown State University.[45] On November 30, 2023, after the controversial hiring of Republican congressman Bill Johnson as the university’s president, O’Neill told Ideastream he was going to return his degree, saying, “I don’t want it… I’m going to start calling it Trump-U.”[46] Acting creditsFilmYearTitleRoleNotes1980CruisingDetective SchreiberThe Dogs of WarTerry1989Disorganized CrimeDetective George DenverK-9Sergeant Brannigan1990The Adventures of Ford FairlaneLieutenant AmosSibling RivalryWilbur Meany1991DutchDutch Dooley1992Wayne’s WorldGlen1993Wayne’s World 21994Blue ChipsEd AxelbyLittle GiantsKevin O’Shea1997PrefontaineBill DellingerThe Spanish PrisonerFBI Team Leader1999The Bone CollectorDetective Paulie Sellitto2000Lucky NumbersDick Simmons2001Nobody’s BabyNorman Pinkney2004SpartanBurch2005Steel ValleyCongressman CardoneShort film2008RedbeltHollywood Producer2010Lost Masterpieces of PornographyChief Justice Renato CoronaShort film2012Wreck-It RalphMr. LitwakVoice role2015EntourageHimselfCameo2016Finding DoryHank The OctopusVoice roleTraficant: The Congressman of CrimetownHimselfDocumentary2017Sun Dogs[47]Bob Garrity2018Ralph Breaks the InternetMr. LitwakVoice role2020The Last ShiftDaleTelevisionYearTitleRoleNotes1980The Day the Women Got EvenEdTV film1981Another WorldLennyEpisode: “Hostages at the Cabin”1982Farrell for the PeopleDetective Jay BrennanTV film1983When Your Lover LeavesMack Sher1984Miami ViceArthur Lawson / Artie RollinsEpisode: “Heart of Darkness”1985MoonlightingTaxi driverEpisode: “Pilot”HunterDan ColsonEpisode: “The Garbage Man”BrakerDanny BucknerTV filmThe EqualizerDoctorEpisode: “The Children’s Song”Spenser: For HireBuddy AlmeidaEpisode: “Widow’s Walk”1986A Winner Never QuitsWhitey WyshnerTV filmPopeye DoyleJames “Popeye” DoyleTV pilot film1987Right to DieBob’s PartnerTV film1987–1997Married… with ChildrenAl BundyLead role; 259 episodes1988Police Story: Gladiator SchoolSergeant Stanley BivensTV filmMidnight CallerHankEpisode: “Twelve Gauge”1990Saturday Night LiveGuest hostEpisode: “Ed O’Neill/Harry Connick, Jr.”A Very Retail ChristmasMax CrandallTV filmThe Earth Day SpecialAl BundyTV special1991Top of the HeapAl BundyEpisode: “Top of the Heap”The Whereabouts of JennyJimmy O’MearaTV film1994In Living ColorHimselfEpisode: “The Dirty Dozens Tournament of Champions”1995W.E.I.R.D.

He is a misanthropic, working-class father of two who is portrayed as a tragicomedic figure. He laments his lot in life, but nevertheless stands by his family, displaying wit, self-sacrifice, and resilience in times of crisis. He and his wife Peggy were rated the 59th best characters on television by Bravo.[4][unreliable source?] In a 2016 interview, O’Neill said that he based his interpretation of Al Bundy on one of his uncles.[5] Character backgroundAl Bundy was born on November 7, 1948, in Chicago, Illinois. Al’s mother may have been an alcoholic: as shown in flashback sequences he recalls a moment when his mother tells him that he can become anything and then, in real-time, remarks “Yeah right, Mom, try saying that when you’re sober!”. He was a star fullback on the Polk High School Football team and was offered a scholarship to play college football. However, a broken leg and his subsequent marriage to high-school sweetheart Peggy Wanker while intoxicated changed his fortunes. Al and Peggy live in Chicago and have two children: Kelly (Christina Applegate), a promiscuous, dim-witted blonde, and Bud (David Faustino), an intelligent but sex-obsessed and unpopular schemer named after Budweiser beer. Al works as a shoe salesman at the fictional Gary’s Shoes and Accessories for Today’s Woman in the fictional New Market Mall. He loses or quits the job several times throughout the series, yet always ends up re-hired. Al has a sarcastic and cynical sense of humor, and he frequently makes sardonic observations. He is also often criticized by Peggy for his poor hygiene. Allegedly, Al showers and brushes his teeth as rarely as he has sex, which is extremely infrequent, as he continually avoids Peggy’s advances. Relationships with othersDespite his criticism of and seeming antipathy for his family he does sometimes display great affection for them. Examples can be seen on the rare occasions when he obtains money enabling him to enjoy luxuries. In one episode, Peggy and Al receive free first class plane tickets to New York City and they are shown sipping champagne together and singing “I Got You, Babe”. In another episode, Al’s car goes missing and the only reason he wants it back is to recover a mysterious item in the trunk, which turns out to be a family photo of Al, Peggy, Kelly, and Bud together, suggesting his distaste for them is spawned merely by his dissatisfaction with his extremely poor quality of life. Al is protective of Kelly, who he refers to by the term of endearment “Pumpkin.” He regularly insults and often physically assaults her dates (who are usually trying to take advantage of her) and throws them bodily from the house. Al is detested by most of his neighbors, except for Steve Rhoades and Jefferson D’Arcy; both are, at different times, married to Marcy who is Al’s arch-nemesis. In “Route 666” Marcy said when the neighborhood thought Al had died they all started dancing and singing “Ding dong, the shoe man’s dead” and called it a “cruel, cruel hoax” when they learned Al had survived his latest misadventure. In another example of the neighborhood’s distaste of Al during “You Better Shop Around”, after he caused a city-wide blackout during a heatwave, the neighbors show up at his house with pitchforks and torches. Other people barely acknowledge he exists and, as a result, his name often ends up misspelled on paychecks, reserved parking spots, etc. (e.g., “Bumby”, “Boondy” or “Birdy”). Politically, Al appears to have mixed views; various episodes depict him mocking Rush Limbaugh, whereas others show him as a committed fan of conservative icon John Wayne. He is an ardent admirer of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He continually battles with Marcy, a staunch feminist, and even forms a misogynist group named “No Ma’am”. His views on economic issues display a left-leaning populist disdain for the wealthy, including leading a violent protest against a proposed law that would tax beer, but not wine. Al cannot stop himself from uttering insulting one-liners to obese women, a behavior he has compulsively engaged in since he was a child. IncomeThroughout the series, Al is continually saddled with massive debts caused by everything from the various failed schemes he becomes involved in to his wife’s extravagant spending habits. However, he never appears to miss a mortgage payment or file for bankruptcy. According to family lore, the “Bundy Will” (a document perpetuating these debts rather than bestowing an inheritance) is passed down from generation to generation as a punishment after Al’s ancestor, Seamus McBundy, insulted an obese witch who then cursed the family. Peggy often jokes that Al makes minimum wage and his poor financial outlook is frequently mocked and employed as comedy. In one episode, Al is offered early retirement and given a year’s pay: $12,000, yet in another episode he says that after taxes and Peggy’s profligate spending he only gets one nickel out of every paycheck. In “My Mom, The Mom”, Al states he earns a 10% commission on each sale. In “Weenie Tot Lovers and Other Strangers”, Peg states his paycheck was for “80 pesos”. The family also obtained money by appearing on game-shows, engaging in theft, participating in various absurd schemes, and mooching off of the Rhoades/D’Arcy’s wealth. “The Dodge”Al owns a 1970s Dodge automobile (The car is only ever referred to as “The Dodge”, but the model occasionally shown is (alternately) a harvest gold or blue Plymouth Duster. Bud once described Al’s Dodge as being assembled from various parts of many different wrecked and derelict Dodges. It is depicted as hopelessly unreliable and Al is often shown pushing the broken-down car into the garage. In one episode, Al is offered a brand new Dodge Viper as his old car is about to turn one million miles and the car company wants to film the event. His actions cause the car to turn the millionth mile before Dodge can film it and they refuse to honor the deal. Running gagsMost of the show’s running gags concern Al. The constantly unlucky Al maintains a “do-it-yourself” attitude whenever something in the house needs repair. When he combines his creativity with his poor judgment and lack of skill, the results are usually absurd and result in property damage and/or physical injury to Al. He has survived incredible injuries resulting from repeatedly falling off his roof while installing a satellite dish and getting shocked by the same dish, to being crushed by a massive woman wrestler (Big Bad Mama from Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling), to jumping from an airplane without a parachute. He even survived a huge explosion when he dynamited his own yard trying to kill a rabbit who was eating his vegetable garden (the rabbit survives unscathed). He is often seen leaving restrooms, even public ones, with a newspaper tucked under his arm, to the sound of a toilet flushing. Al loves bowling, and “nudie” bars and regularly comments on both. His favorite magazine is the pornographic Big’uns. He enjoys watching sports on television with his right hand tucked into his waistband (he switches to his left hand on Sundays), and his favorite sitcom is the fictional Psycho Dad, which he always mentions. Al’s greatest life achievement was scoring four touchdowns in a single game while playing in the 1966 city football championship game versus fictional Andrew Johnson High School, and he constantly makes reference to it in comparison to the way his life has turned out instead. The episode, “Damn Bundys”, featured Al selling his soul to the devil (Robert Englund) in order to lead the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl[6] as the oldest rookie in NFL history; Al scores the touchdown and ends up in hell with his family and neighbors for 300 years. In the Season 10 episode “Dud Bowl II”, a scoreboard at Polk High’s football stadium was to be dedicated to Al, but Marcy arranged for it to instead be named after Terry Bradshaw out of malice; after Kelly convinces Bradshaw to let the scoreboard to be named after Al, Al (unaware of this) arranges for Jefferson and Bud to destroy the scoreboard. Al does have some talents, which are frequently referenced. He is an extremely gifted bowler and he always appears to win fistfights. ReceptionAl Bundy had a highly positive reception. Much of the praise went to O’Neill’s portrayal of the character.[7][3] Al and Peg were named the 59th best TV characters by Bravo.[8] In 2009, Time magazine named him among the 10 most memorable fathers in television history.[9] In 2014, BuzzFeed listed Al Bundy as the 10th greatest TV dad of all time. Married… with Children is an American television sitcom created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt for the Fox Broadcasting Company,[1] broadcast from April 5, 1987, to June 9, 1997. It is the longest-running live-action sitcom ever aired on Fox. Married… with Children was the first primetime series broadcast on the new Fox network. The series’ run ended with the episode broadcast on May 5, 1997.[2][3] Two previously unaired episodes were broadcast on June 9, 1997, and June 18, 2002. The show is set in Chicago and follows the lives 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. The show also features their neighbors Steve and Marcy Rhoades, both of whom Al finds annoying, but likewise feel the same way about him. Later in the series, Marcy marries Jefferson D’Arcy, a white-collar criminal who becomes her “trophy husband” and Al’s sidekick. The series is one of the longest-running sitcoms in American television history, covering 11 seasons with 259 episodes in its run. Its theme song is “Love and Marriage” by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, performed by Frank Sinatra. Critical reception was mixed during its original run, and the show’s sexually charged humor and depiction of a dysfunctional family were in stark contrast to family sitcoms of the era. The first two seasons were videotaped at ABC Television Center in Hollywood. Seasons 3 to 8 were taped at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood, and the final three seasons were taped at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City. The series was initially produced by Embassy Communications. Starting halfway through the second season, it was produced by ELP Communications under the studio Columbia Pictures Television. In 2008, the show made the top 100 on Entertainment Weekly’s “New TV Classics” list, placing number 94.[4] In May 2022, an animated revival was in the works.[5] Cast and charactersMain article: List of Married… with Children characters This section does not cite any sources.

From left to right: Katey Sagal, Ed O’Neill, David Faustino and Christina Applegate.Al Bundy (Ed O’Neill) – A misanthrope, afflicted by the so-called “Bundy curse” that consigns him to an unrewarding career selling women’s shoes and a life with a family that mocks and disrespects him, who still enjoys the simple things in life. He constantly attempts to relive his high-school football days, when he was an “All State Fullback”. His most noted achievement was having scored four touchdowns in a single game for Polk High. His favorite things in life are the local nudie bar, his collection of BigUns magazine, his Dodge car with more than 1 million mi (1.6 million km) on the odometer, and a television show called Psycho Dad.[6] Despite his family’s antipathy for him, and his for them, Al is always ready to defend his family and the Bundy honor.Peggy Bundy (née Wanker) (Katey Sagal) – Al’s wife who is always pestering him about money and refuses to do any housework or get a job. Peggy is a lazy redhead who spends most of her time watching talk shows such as Oprah or stealing Al’s limited funds to go shopping; she frequently mocks Al about his unglamourous job, his meager earnings, his hygiene, and his poor sexual abilities. Her careless spending on things like clothes and male strip clubs has run Al into debt on numerous occasions. A recurring joke in the series is Al’s and Peggy’s regrets of having married each other, although on occasion they will show affection towards one another. Peggy’s best friend is Marcy, with whom Peggy occasionally leads into trouble. Peggy’s side of the family is a backwoods clan of hillbillies whom she often forces the other Bundys to endure, especially her morbidly obese mother, whom Al finds intolerable.Kelly Bundy (Christina Applegate) – the Bundys’ firstborn; a dumb blonde who is often derided as promiscuous and dates guys who irritate Al to the point that he wants to physically assault them. Her stupidity manifests in many ways, from forgetting ideas on the spot to mispronouncing or misspelling simple words. She and her brother Bud generally get along, but enjoy belittling one another.Budrick “Bud” Franklin Bundy (David Faustino) – the younger Bundy offspring, and sometimes the more level-headed family member, although his preoccupation with sex sometimes leads to inevitable failures with women. He and older sister Kelly constantly taunt each other, but when Kelly is in a legitimate bind he will support her, much like Kelly does for him under similar circumstances.Marcy Rhoades, later Marcy D’Arcy (Amanda Bearse) – the Bundys’ next-door neighbor, Al’s nemesis and Peggy’s best friend; an educated banker, but also a feminist and environmentalist who often protests Al’s schemes with his NO MA’AM (National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood) group. Marcy is the founder and leader of an anti-man support group called “FANG” (Feminists Against Neanderthal Guys). Marcy and Al constantly bicker and do not get along. For the first few seasons of the show, Marcy is married to Steve Rhoades. After Marcy and Steve divorce and he leaves during the fourth season, Marcy meets and marries Jefferson D’Arcy, giving her the name Marcy D’Arcy.Steven “Steve” Bartholomew Rhoades (David Garrison) is Marcy’s first husband, a stuffy banker who finds himself frequently entangled in Al’s schemes. Steve’s most prized possession is his Mercedes-Benz, which he does not even let Marcy drive. Although very much in love at the beginning of the series, Steve and Marcy grow apart and he leaves her during the fourth season to become a forest ranger at Yosemite National Park. He later comes back in “The Egg and I” episode to try and reclaim his old life with Marcy, but finds trouble with Jefferson, Marcy’s second husband. Steve later has another job as the dean of Bud’s college, after blackmailing the previous one he worked under as a chauffeur.Jefferson Milhouse D’Arcy (Ted McGinley), a pretty-boy scammer to whom Marcy wakes up one morning and discovers she has married. Unlike Steve, Jefferson is more of a free spirit, likes to have fun, is constantly unemployed, has no money of his own, and uses Marcy for financial purposes. Marcy is aware of this, but whenever Jefferson gets into trouble with her, he distracts her by working his charm and resorting to sexual bartering. In several episodes, Jefferson is implied, but never confirmed, to have had a past life as a former spy/CIA operative.Pilot episodeIn the show’s pilot episode, actors Tina Caspary and Hunter Carson played the roles of Kelly and Bud Bundy, respectively. Before the series aired publicly the roles for the two Bundy children were re-cast. Ed O’Neill and the show’s producers worried about a lack of chemistry with the parents and the original actors cast as the children. A re-casting was done and all of the scenes in the pilot with Carson and Caspary were re-shot with David Faustino and Christina Applegate playing Bud and Kelly Bundy.[7] Recurring charactersMain article: List of Married…with Children recurring charactersDevelopmentThe working title of Married… with Children was Not the Cosbys, as a mockery of family sitcoms that were common on primetime television in the mid-1980s such as The Cosby Show.[8][9]: 66 Creators Ron Leavitt and Michael G. Moye were told by Garth Ancier and other Fox executives “to be as outrageous as they could be, doing the sort of material the Big Three would never allow on the air”, wrote Daniel M. Kimmel in 2004.[9]: 66 However, Fox CEO Barry Diller had initial doubts that Married… would be successful.[9]: 66 ReceptionCritical responseFor season 1, Metacritic calculated an average of 58 out of 100 based on 5 reviews, indicating “mixed or average reviews”.[10] Reviews of the debut episode were mixed. In 1987, Howard Rosenberg of the Los Angeles Times praised the casting of the Bundys, found the character development of the D’Arcys lacking, and warned viewers: “The satire is heavy-handed.”[11] Conversely, also in 1987, Tom Shales of The Washington Post called the debut episode “nasty-minded, overacted and poorly cast”.[12] For The New York Times, John J. O’Connor described it as “loud, coarse and life-of-the-party vulgar”.[13] O’Connor also compared Married… unfavorably to other family shows like The Life of Riley and All in the Family, describing the show as “pure blue-collar shtick, dressed up with the usual sexual-potency and bathroom jokes”.[13] Ratings This section needs additional citations for verification.

(September 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this message)Despite the show’s enduring popularity and fanbase, Married… with Children was never a major ratings success. Part of the reason was that Fox, a startup network, did not have the affiliate base of the Big Three television networks, thus preventing the series from reaching the entire country. In an interview for a special commemorating the series’ 20-year anniversary in 2007, Katey Sagal stated that part of the problem the series faced was that many areas of the country were able to get Fox only through low-quality UHF channels well into the early 1990s, while some areas of the country did not receive the new network at all, a problem not largely rectified until the launch of Foxnet in June 1991 and later the network’s acquisition of National Football League rights which led to several stations across the United States changing affiliations. For instance, Ed O’Neill’s hometown of Youngstown, Ohio did not have its own Fox affiliate until CBS affiliate WKBN-TV signed on WFXI-CA/WYFX-LP in 1998, one year after the show went off the air (the area was served by WPGH-TV in Pittsburgh and Cleveland’s Fox affiliates—initially WOIO, then WJW—as default affiliates on cable), so many of O’Neill’s friends and family mistakenly thought he was famous for beer commercials during this time. Another problem lay in the fact that many of the newly developed series on Fox were unsuccessful, which kept the network from building a popular lineup to draw in a larger audience. In its original airing debut, Married… with Children was part of a Sunday lineup that competed with the popular Murder, She Wrote and Sunday-night movie on CBS. Fellow freshman series included Duet, cancelled in 1989, along with It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The Tracey Ullman Show, both of which were canceled in 1990. The success of The Simpsons, which debuted on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987, helped draw some viewers over to Fox, allowing Married… with Children to rank in the Nielsen Top 50 from Season 4 through Season 8, peaking at No. 37 in Season 6. Although these ratings were somewhat small in comparison with the other three networks, they were good enough for Fox to keep renewing the show. In its prime in the early 1990s, the show was averaging over 20 million viewers each week. While the series did not end on a cliffhanger, it was expected to be renewed for a 12th season (which would have been the final season) and thus did not have a proper series finale when Fox decided to cancel it in 1997. With Fox announcing the cancellation publicly before informing the cast and crew, most if not all of them found out about the series cancellation from fans and low-level employees instead of from network executives. Katey Sagal stated that she constantly felt that the series was neglected by Fox despite helping bring the fledgling network on the map (Married… with Children having been on even before The Simpsons); for his part, Ed O’Neill attributed possible neglect of the series by Fox to constant turnover of some of the top positions at the network.[14] In a 2013 interview, O’Neill stated that he felt TV stations who owned syndication rights to the series put pressure on Fox and Sony Pictures Television to end the series since the show had nearly three times the episodes needed for syndication and the production of more episodes would have resulted in higher rights fees.

Daniel M. Kimmel reflected on the show in 2004: “It had achieved a cult status as a somewhat tasteless family sitcom that was so well written and acted that some actually saw it as dark satire of modern suburban life rather than simply an unending stream of sex jokes.”[9]: 66 In 2007, Time TV critic James Poniewozik, in ranking the show among the 100 greatest of all time, called it “a twisted mirror of TV’s instant-gratification culture…suitable for a medieval morality play.”[25] Poniewozik concluded about the characterization of the show: “Zestily lowbrow and sex-obsessed, Married was dedicated to the classical ideal that unhappy families were more interesting than happy ones… and a lot funnier.”[25] Reviewing Sony’s original DVD release of the first season in 2003, Aaron Belerle of DVD Talk reflected that the show’s humor “doesn’t seem so edgy anymore”.[26] In 1989, Terry Rakolta from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, attempted to lead a boycott[25] of the show after viewing the episode “Her Cups Runneth Over”.[27] Offended by the images of an old man wearing a woman’s garter and stockings, the scene in which Steve touches the pasties of a mannequin dressed in S&M gear, a homosexual man wearing a tiara on his head (and Al’s line “…and they wonder why we call them ‘queens'”), and a half-nude woman who takes off her bra in front of Al (and is shown with her arms covering her bare chest in the next shot), Rakolta began a letter-writing campaign to advertisers, demanding they boycott the show. Rakolta’s campaign resulted in Gillette, Warner–Lambert, and Coca-Cola ending sponsorships; ironically, Coca-Cola owned the studio that produced the show, Columbia Pictures Television.[9]: 68 Fox pulled the episode titled “I’ll See You in Court” (in which the Bundys attempt to improve their love life by having marital relations in a different setting). This episode became known as the “Lost Episode” and was aired on FX on June 18, 2002, with some parts cut.[28][29] The episode was packaged with the rest of the third season in the January 2005 DVD release (and in the first volume of the Married … With Children Most Outrageous Episodes DVD set) with the parts cut from syndication restored. Viewers’ curiosity over the boycott and over the show itself led to a drastic ratings boost.[9]: 68 Rakolta has been alluded to twice on the show: “Rock and Roll Girl”,[30] in which a newscaster mentions the city Bloomfield Hills, and “No Pot to Pease In”,[31] in which a television show is made about the Bundy family and then cancelled because, as Marcy stated, “some woman in Michigan didn’t like it.” Socially conservative criticisms of the show were not limited to Rakolta. The Media Research Center named Married… with Children the worst show of the 1995–96 television season, calling it the “crudest comedy on prime time television” for “lewd punch lines”.[32][33] Republican U.S. Senator Jesse Helms called the show “trash”.[34] Fellow Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) also strongly criticized the sitcom, after having walked in on his stepson and young daughter watching an episode one evening in late 1993. In an interview many years later, Lieberman would specifically cite Married…With Children as the impetus for his becoming a vocal opponent of pop culture and the entertainment industry throughout his Senate career.[35][36] However, the show was recognized for giving women prominent roles behind the scenes. Producers decided to rewrite the sixth season storyline of Peggy’s pregnancy, which coincided with Sagal’s actual pregnancy, as a dream that Al had. This was done to prevent Sagal from suffering further trauma by having her character Peggy interact with a new baby, when Sagal’s pregnancy ended with her going into premature labor and the baby being stillborn.[37] Bearse showed she was a talented director as well as an actress by moving to the director’s chair and directing her co-stars for over 30 episodes of the series between 1991 and 1997. Bearse also became one of the first mainstream actresses to publicly come out as lesbian, which she did during the series run and received positive recognition for doing so.[14] On April 22, 2012, Fox re-aired the series premiere in commemoration of its 25th anniversary.[38] EpisodesMain article: List of Married… with Children episodesSeasonEpisodesOriginally airedFirst airedLast aired113April 5, 1987June 28, 1987222September 27, 1987May 1, 1988322November 6, 1988May 21, 1989423September 3, 1989May 13, 1990525September 23, 1990May 19, 1991626September 8, 1991May 17, 1992726September 13, 1992May 23, 1993826September 5, 1993May 22, 1994926September 4, 1994May 21, 19951026September 17, 1995May 19, 19961124September 28, 1996June 9, 1997During its 11-season run on the Fox network, Married… with Children aired 258 episodes. A 259th episode, “I’ll See You in Court” from season 3, never aired on Fox, but premiered on FX and has since been included on DVD and in syndication packages. Three specials also aired following the series’ cancellation, including a cast reunion. Home mediaSony Pictures Home Entertainment has released all 11 seasons of Married… with Children on DVD in Regions 1, 2, & 4. On December 12, 2010, Sony released a complete series set on DVD in Region 1.[39] In December 2007, the Big Bundy Box—a special collection box with all seasons plus new interviews with Sagal and David Faustino—was released.[40] This boxset was released in Australia (Region 4) on November 23, 2009.[41] The Sony DVD box sets from season 3 onward do not feature the original “Love and Marriage” theme song in the opening sequence. This was done because Sony was unable to obtain the licensing rights to the song for later sets.[42] Despite this, the end credits on the DVDs for season 3 still include a credit for “Love and Marriage.” On August 27, 2013, it was announced that Mill Creek Entertainment[43] had acquired the home media rights to various television series from the Sony Pictures library including Married… with Children[44] with the original theme song “Love and Marriage” sung by Frank Sinatra. They have subsequently re-released the 11 seasons on DVD. The Mill Creek Entertainment version (along with the versions available for streaming and downloading) include scenes that are normally edited in syndication and most of the licensed music that’s dubbed over or deleted due to copyright issues.[45][46][47][48][49][50] A complete series DVD set was re-released on July 7, 2015, in Region 1. All seasons of Married… with Children are now available for online download and streaming through Amazon, Apple iTunes, Peacock, Hulu, and Vudu.

The Azizyans is an Armenian sitcom television series developed by Robert Martirosyan and Van Grigoryan. The series premiered on Armenia TV on October 31, 2016. However, the series was not available to the public until Armenia TV started airing the sitcom from October 10, 2017. The series takes place in Yerevan, Armenia. The Azizyans sitcom is starred by Hayk Marutyan. He embodies the character of Garnik Azizyan – a clothes store seller, who is the only one working in the family. Mrs. Ruzan Azizyan is lazy enough to perform the duties of a housewife. The problems of the father of the family do not bother his 3 children – his daughter, who is internet-addicted and is active in all social networks; his unemployed eldest son, who is a complete loser, and his youngest son, who is a schoolboy. The roles in this sitcom, created for family watching, are played by Ani Lupe, Satenik Hazaryan, Ishkhan Gharibyan, Suren Arustamyan and other popular Armenian actors. The project is directed by Arman Marutyan. In the second season of the sitcom, the Azizyan family continues to survive thanks to the meager salary of Garnik. The wife of Garnik – Ruzan, remains in the status of a housewife, without even thinking about finding a job. The elder son of Garnik and Ruzan – Azat, continues to look for a new job, a young man appears in the life of Marie, who is trying to win the girl’s heart. Their younger son Levon, continues to live his own life and does not understand what he has in common with this family. And their neighbors Irina and Alik continue to be friends with the family, which Azizyans do not quite approve. The only bright spot in the life of the family is their house, which Garnik inherited from his grandfather. ArgentinaAn Argentine remake was made by Telefe in 2005, called Casados con Hijos. Two seasons were made (2005 and 2006), totaling 215 episodes and it became a smashing success during the replaying. More than fifteen years after the release, it is still aired on Saturdays at 7:30 pm.[83] The series has been also shown by local channels in Uruguay, Paraguay, and Peru. The character names are: José “Pepe” Argento (based on Al, played by Guillermo Francella), Mónica “Moni” Argento (based on Peggy, played by Florencia Peña), Paola Argento (based on Kelly, played by Luisana Lopilato), Alfio “Coqui” Argento (based on Bud, played by Darío Lopilato), Dardo and María Elena Fuseneco (based on Jefferson D’Arcy, Steve Rhoades and Marcy; played by Marcelo de Bellis and Érica Rivas). BrazilIn Brazil Rede Bandeirantes made a remake in 1999 with the name A Guerra dos Pintos (The War of The Pintos). 52 episodes were recorded but only 22 aired before cancelation.[84] BulgariaIn Bulgaria a remake is aired from March 26, 2012, with the name Женени с деца в България (Zheneni s detsa v Bulgaria) (Married with children in Bulgaria).[85] CroatiaIn Croatia a remake called Bračne vode was broadcast from September 2008 until November 2009 on Nova TV channel. The characters based on the Bundys were called Zvonimir, Sunčica, Kristina and Boris Bandić while the ones based on Marcy and Steve were called Marica and Ivan Kumarica.[86] GermanyIn Germany, the 1992 remake Hilfe, meine Familie spinnt, broadcast in the prime time, reached double the audience of the original (broadcast in the early fringe time). This, however, was not enough to maintain the series, so it was cancelled after one season with 26 episodes.The remake used the exact translated scripts of the original series (which already substituted localised humour and in-jokes for incomprehensible references to American TV shows not shown in Germany, as well as some totally different jokes) and just renamed places and people according to the new setting.[87][88] It had a rerun twice on Super RTL in 1996 and 1997.[88] Hilfe, meine Familie spinnt was aired from March to December 1993 for 26 episodes.[89] HungaryIn 2006, Hungarian TV network TV2 purchased the license rights including scripts and hired the original producers from Sony Pictures for a remake of the show placed in a Hungarian environment. It was entitled Egy rém rendes család Budapesten[90] (in English: Married with children in Budapest, loan translation: A gruesomely decent family in Budapest). The main story began with the new family called the Bándis inheriting an outskirt house from their American relatives the Bundys. They filmed a whole season of 26 episodes, all of them being remade versions of the plots of the original first seasons. It was the highest budget sitcom ever made in Hungary. First it was aired on Tuesday nights, but was beaten by a new season of ER, then placed to Wednesday nights. The remake lost its viewers, but stayed on the air due to the contract between Sony and TV2.[91][92][93] Also the Hungarian critics have strongly condemned the copyright infringement of the original series. They also criticized the lack of quality and the dilettante forcing of the American cliches in Eastern European (Hungarian) environment.[94] IsraelThe complete American series aired in Israel in the 1990s, with reruns of it ever since. There has also been an Israeli remake to the show titled Nesuim Plus (Married Plus) that aired its two seasons from 2012 to 2017. MexicoMain article: Casados con hijos (Mexican TV series)In May 2023, Sony Pictures Television announced a Mexican remake for Sony Channel.[95] The series premiered on 8 May 2024 and stars Adrián Uribe and Sandra Echeverría.[96] RussiaMain article: Happy Together (Russian TV series)The Original Married… With Children ran on TV-6 Russia in the late 1990s and early 2000s (before the closing of the channel) in prime-time basis, broadcasting the episodes from seasons 1–11. The show later aired on DTV and Domashniy TV. A Russian adaptation, titled Happy Together (Schastlivy Vmeste; Happy Together), was broadcast on TNT across the country in 2006.[97][98] The character names are: Gena Bukin (based on Al, played by Viktor Loginov), Dasha Bukina (based on Peggy, played by Natalya Bochkareva), Sveta Bukina (based on Kelly, played by Darya Sagalova), Roma Bukin (based on Bud, played by Alexander Yakin), Elena and Anatoliy Poleno (based on Marcy and Jefferson D’Arcy, played by Yulia Zaharova and Pavel Savinkov), Evgeniy Stepanov (based on Steve Rhoades, played by Aleksey Sekirin), Sema Bukin (based on Seven, played by Ilya Butkovskiy), and Baron Bukin (based on Buck and Lucky, played by Bayra).[99] TurkeyA remake was aired in Turkey in 2004 for one season under the name Evli ve Çocuklu (Married and with Children), featuring Ege Aydan and Yıldız Kaplan in the roles of Niyazi (based on Al) and Jale (based on Peg) Tonguç.[100] The producer, Med Yapım, has published 10 episodes on YouTube in 2018.[101] United KingdomMain article: Married for LifeITV had been screening the original Married… with Children since 1988. In 1996, the British production company Central Television and Columbia Pictures Television (Columbia TriStar Central Productions) produced a British version called Married for Life, which lasted for one series with seven episodes.[102] Spin-offsTop of the Heap was a sitcom starring Matt LeBlanc. The show was about Vinnie Verducci (played by LeBlanc) and his father Charlie (played by Joseph Bologna) always trying get rich quick schemes. The Verduccis were introduced in an earlier episode where Vinnie dated Kelly Bundy, and Charlie was introduced as an old friend of Al Bundy’s. The end of the pilot episode shows Al breaking into their apartment and stealing their TV to replace the one he lost betting on Vinnie in a boxing match. However, the show did not last long and was ultimately cancelled. It had its own spin-off/sequel called Vinnie & Bobby a year later, which was also cancelled. Also, an attempt was made to make a spin-off out of David Garrison’s Steve Rhoades character which took place on Bud’s Trumaine University. The spin-off was called Radio Free Trumaine where Garrison played the Dean.[103] Enemies was another spin-off, but played to be a spoof on the TV series Friends. Meanwhile, a proposed series focusing on the NO MA’AM group without Al Bundy was outright rejected by Fox over fears of misogyny.[104] On September 11, 2014, it was announced that a spin-off was in the works, centered on the character of Bud Bundy.[105] Ed O’Neill revealed plot details for the proposed spin-off in 2016: “Bud is now grown up and living in the old house with some of his buddies, but they’re all bust-outs, they aren’t working. His ex-wife is living in one of the bedrooms with Bud’s best friend […] Peg and Al are retired and living in Vegas; they won the lottery.”[106] Animated revivalOn May 13, 2022, Deadline reported that an animated revival of the series was currently in the works with the original cast attached to return. It was further revealed that Sony Pictures Television had been working on the animated series for over a year and waited until they had closed deals with the cast before presenting it to networks and streamers.[5] It was felt that an animated revival worked best due to the original cast’s busy schedule as well as Applegate being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, making an animated revival more feasible due to the cast’s schedules and Applegate’s physical limitations.[5] Applegate confirmed in a 2023 Vanity Fair interview that she, O’Neill, Sagal, and Faustino remained attached to the revival and were just waiting.[107] A sample clip of the animated series leaked onto the internet on May 17, 2024, along with a synopsis and presentation web site. After a string of misfortunes, the Bundys move to the cheapest home in Dumpwater, FL – a small house with a sinkhole front yard. As they get to know their Latin neighbors, war with HOA snobs, & yuck it up at their community pool, Al is desperate to be a big shot but continually gets fleeced in Florida – where the weather is sunny, but the people are shady.

(July 2024) (Learn how and when to remove this message)Distributed by Columbia Pictures Television Distribution, later Sony Pictures Television since 2002, Married… with Children debuted in off-network syndication in the fall of 1991. The series later began airing on cable on FX from September 1999 until September 2008. In June 2002, FX became the first television network to air the controversial, previously banned episode “I’ll See You in Court”, albeit in an edited format. The full version of “I’ll See You in Court” can only be seen on the DVD release Married… with Children: The Most Outrageous Episodes Volume 1 and the Mill Creek Entertainment complete series collection. The version found on the Third Season DVD set under Sony is the edited-for-TV version. In 2008, the Spike network reportedly paid US$12 million for broadcast rights to every episode including the unedited version of the infamous episode “I’ll See You in Court”.[110] Following its acquisition by Nexstar Media Group and rebrand to NewsNation, the network indicated it would start rolling off its non-news programming as those contracts expire to expand news coverage.[111][112] In November 2018, the entire 11-season run became available to watch through Hulu.[113] On September 17, 2018, GetTV began airing the show and continued until around 2020 or 2021.[citation needed] In July 2024, Cozi TV acquired the rights to the show along with The King of Queens and began airing on August 5, 2024.[114] Married…with Children has also been a ratings success in other countries around the world.

The series’ success brought about a local TV show Świat według Kiepskich (The World According to the Kiepskis) that paraphrased the Polish title of Married… with Children; however, the premise of the Polish show is significantly different from that of the American original (e.g. has got other characters only similar to the original ones and satirises Polish, not American reality), which is why it is usually not considered a remake. In the book “Świat według Kiepskich. Zwariowana historia kultowego serialu” (The World According to the Kiepskis. A crazy story of the cult TV series) by Jabłonka and Łęczuk, a producer of Świat według Kiepskich- Tomasz Kurzewski says that Polsat wanted to create a brand new sitcom and announced a competition for the best idea and Kurzewski was advised to make a Polish version of the most popular Polsat sitcom, which was Married… with Children and competitive ideas were not connected with Married… with Children, so the American TV series is only an inspiration of the Polish one, not an original version of a remake. Świat według Kiepskich was not made under the American licence.RomaniaFamilia Bundy (The Bundy Family)SubtitledPro TVThe show was aired in the 1990s, multiple times.RussiaЖенаты… с детьми (Married… with Children), Счастливы вместе(Happy Together)Voice-over (original)TV-6, DTV, Domashniy TV (original)TNT (remake)The Russian remake of the show, Счастливы вместе, has been broadcast since March 2006 on TNT every weekday.
