yeah no kidding. couldn't joke like that today. the women would send femenist groups after you. cause a whole thing over it. everyone is too sensitive nowadays.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.
One of my favorites was al was talking about getting officer dan to help him in one of his hairbrained schemes and bud tells him"but dad hes arrested you 22 times"!😂🤣
Ed O'Neil and Katey Sagal both deserve some sort of lifetime achievement award. They crushed it on this show then 15 or so years later individually crushed it on Modren Family and Sons of Anarchy.
I will never forget one episode when peggy asked him if he loves her, and Al said, "YOU KNOW I DO PEG, I JUST DON'T LIKE SAYING IT, IT MAKES ME SICK"😂😂😂I love it.
everyone from the original cast signed on and is coming back with a reboot of Married with Children, but an animated version. Sony is picking it up. The great al Bundy will return.... wonder how today's world will handle it
I miss those times when nobody whined about their feelings getting hurt by the humour used on tv :)and the guys reacting are so baked they're hilarious
Yea on that particular shirt she really looks like him 🤣 It's my second favorit joke in this compilation after "I'd say it behind your back but my car only got half a tank of gas"
That show was loved here in the UK. I was 16, taught me everything I needed to know about Women. Perfect cast, Perfect script... and still very, very funny.
Actually it wouldn't make it back then either. They just got lucky FOX was a new channel and didn't have any tv series so they were desperate. I think they only had this and The Simpsons at the beggining.
Married with Children, All in the Family, The Jefferson's and Sanford and Son could NEVER be Made today. And Heaven forbid Blazing Saddles by Mel Brooks. So Sad.
I bet there are enough um "anti snowflake" people that if they all supported the idea we could get a new version of Married with Children and Blazing Saddles and force acceptance of it on the snowflakes possibly even destroying their anti free speech movement thats going on these days...
Disagree. Sit-coms peaked then. But we're in the Golden Age of dramas right now. Netflix alone makes some of the best shows ever made (they just cancel them too quick).
@@UltimateGamerCC It's still TV. It doesn't matter what you call it or how you're watching it now, TV shows are TV shows...and Netflix usually kills it.
It was mainly the reactions of the larger ladies that made his insults hilarious. They did a great job with the facial expressions and movements. Everything was perfectly timed.
MARCI is the name you are thinking of. Although he hated her, I think on some level Al respected her. She was a fighter and never let life roll over her. Also, when it came to Al, she always gave as good as she got.
You guys are so refreshing to watch....Absolutely loved this show!!! One of the best comedy sitcoms, & was so refreshing.....we could laugh at ourselves back then 😊
Check out the movies Dutch, Little Giants, and Bone Collector. Ed O'neill was in all of them. He's also been in a ton of TV shows. Also, I don't know if anyone said, but the woman's name in the show was Marcy. Marcy D'Arcy after her second marriage.
One of Ed O'Neill's best movie roles... Glen the coffee shop manager in Wayne's World. Small part but his execution of a broken down, failed psychopath was hilarious.
you would never be able to get away with a show like this today because everybody's so sensitive that everybody's going to get offended by something so thank God they made this masterpiece when they did.
His real name is Ed O'Neill The movie he was in that you're probably trying to think of was "Little Giants" with Rick Moranis.. The neighbor he always called a chicken, her name was Marcy Darcy (played by Amanda Bearse.) Ed O'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
Al Bundy was played by Ed O'Neill. Fun Fact: O'Neill was a Defensive Lineman in college at Youngstown State, who once signed as an undrafted free agent in 1969 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was cut in training camp after being unable to beat out two other rookies: "Mean" Joe Greene and L.C. Greenwood for a spot on the roster.
Personally I think this show would flourish today just as well as it did back then. I think they would cry to cancel it but the profit from the amount of viewers would keep it going for years. Which is exactly what happened the first time. Because the show played on characters that pulled zero punches which everyone wanted to do. It gave everyone a way to do so vicariously through Al and the rest of the Bundy's. No punches pulled, no F's given, no concern or worry for the other characters thoughts/ feelings/ or opinions.
This was my favourite show from when I was like 5 to 15 years old. I barely understood it when I started watching but I loved it more than anything directed at my age group. I don’t know why it’s so special to me but it just is.
Yeah, similar idea to Archie Bunker. Also, similar to Bunker, audiences didn't quite get the message and ended up sympathizing with him, partly because they somehow made all the other characters around him more unlikeable
Yeah, but we also spent all that time growing thick skin from all the mean jokes and bullying, only to have the whole world turn into mewling babies on us now we're all hardened.
coming from someone who lived through the 70's, 80's, and 90's, you do not know just how much has been lost: how much political activists have taken from our culture. Al Bundy is a legend for precisely the zero fucks he gave. But notice how Peg is never a 'victim'. She gives as good as she gets. Al was a misogynist by anyone's standard, but he loved his family, despite his complaints, and worked a menial job to support them all. indeed that was a running joke. But some of the oneliners in that show are gold, even to this day. 'Al Bundy had a highly positive reception. Much of the praise went to O'Neill's portrayal of the character.]Al and Peg were named the 59th best TV characters by Bravo. In 2009 Time magazine named him among the 10 most memorable fathers in television history.In 2014, BuzzFeed listed Al Bundy as the 10th greatest TV dad of all time.'
If you like Ed O’Neil, you need to find his movie “Dutch”!!! It is so funny, and he’s a great actor! And, there’s a line in that movie Dutch that my brother and I would repeat and just crack up! 😂🥰❤️😉
What is funny is that show was so popular because they rejected political correctness just like southpark has done. Ed O'Neal was also in a pretty good "family bonding" movie called Dutch if you like his humor.
Best ever comedy series. Fact. The Al Bundy character is an icon. Fact. That kind of script nowdays it will be doomed (with all that grotesque gay movement and political corectness). Fact. ESPECIALLY if you've ever been married that series will speak to your heart. Fact. "No maam" forever.
