Married... with Children
Domestic bliss was never like this!
Created by Michael G. Moye, Ron Leavitt
On FOX
A brash, high-energy sitcom built on the deliberate inversion of family-values television, where dysfunction and failure are the joke and the reset button is absolute.
Al Bundy is an unsuccessful middle aged shoe salesman with a miserable life and an equally dysfunctional family. He hates his job, his wife is lazy, his son is dysfunctional (especially with women), and his daughter is dim-witted and promiscuous.
