TDW 1593 - Married With Children : Filming Locations 

One of my favorite episodes lol

Ken Lompart yep homes classic!!!

I liked Jefferson, but I loved Steve because Al would corrupt him

Señor Lares hard to do with jefferson since he is ex cia🤫😜

In the episode where Steve and Marcy's house was taken, they lived across the street.

I agree, it's not a guilty pleasure.

and 90s

hands down best show of 80's-90's then Seinfeld.

Damn right. Why would anyone feel guilty? The show was hilarious! One of my favorite shows growing up. Maybe because it's so politically incorrect today, people are afraid to like it.

Agreed. Best fuckin show ever!

Lmao that episode just showed the other day on Pluto 👍

have you ever tried to figure out the layout of that house? if that door is the front, that means the glass sliding door behind the couch is on the side of the house. they have another sliding door in the kitchen. Makes for an odd layout. I think there is another door I've seen them go out that would be on the same side as the fridge, is actually hidden by the fridge.

I used graph paper to draw the interior layout. It doesn't match the exterior. Looking at the house, face-on. Outside, the front door faces the street. Inside the house, the front door is on the right, but still on the same side of the car port. (The car port isn't brick, when shown close-up, either). Outside the house, the car port is on the right side of the house, facing towards the street. However, inside the house, the carport faces to the right, that would mean the door opened into Marcy's yard. Also, the back yard was oriented slightly differently in a couple of episodes. (I've been binge watching it, lately, so it's fresh in my memory.)

Yeah, the inside was on a set. They showed it one episode when a TV producer got the idea from Kelly Bundy. Toaster Leavins.

Kelly Bills I thought it was toaster shakins?

That is totally awesome.

Poor Aunt Toonie. Sitting over the mantel in her little urn.

But on the other hand, there were several episodes where the Bundy's are inside their house looking out the little windows in the front door looking at the Rhoad's house that, because of the Bundy's garage, could only be seen if it was across the street.

But remember the Apple Branch episode which is directly next door and they were destroying each other's houses next door when the Darcy set up a toll booth in als driveway or I should say the Darcy's driveway according to the property line

It was both. www.slipups.com/items/9382.html

I guess when she was with Steve, she was across the street and when she married Jefferson, she moved next door. lol

Really heartfelt comment and I really appreciate you sharing your memories. Thanks you LadyDragon

Hey LadyDragon, she will be watching with ya Hun x

flossybob Yeah.... thanks for that :-)

LadyDragonsblood I'm soooooo sorry for your loss😢💔

God is right with you.. Jesus loves you!

You'd have to be a 40 something there slick. Unless your mom let u watch MWC when u were 4? It's been 30 yrs alone since this show was on tv.

@@garrison0532082 I'm 36 and grew up watching this show. It ran from 87 to 97 Slick

@@captain3186 so u were what, 13 when it went off the air. which means you were under 10 for 75% of the time it ran. prob didnt get too many of the jokes

@@garrison0532082 14 and I got plenty of the jokes but thanks for your concern. I wasn't sheltered like most kids today. I also didn't need movies like Porky's or Smokey & The Bandit explained to me either

@@garrison0532082 and Urban outdoors.... Get a clue, boys and girls alike digested this show as tiny children. It's effect can somewhat be seen in the massive population of angry porn addicted men, and the emotionally brused women who don't think it gets any better than what's in this stupid show. Thank God many of us are now able to see that real men are amazing and real women are wonderful. Even if you knew that as a kid, this show works to erode positive feelings.

Lots of food stamps and welfare works every time !

BobvanKay nicely played!. it looks like an average working class neighborhood. up until the late 70s a retail job could provide salary, health insurance, and a stable living for a family.

BobvanKay I was thinking the same he has is own house

HAHA!! That would of been freakin awesome!!

That would've been hilarious.

Damn, you beat me to it. I was gonna say it.

...on a Harley!....

Classic!

@Schaden Freud In the 70's and 80's it was $4 and hr and house's were still only 20 grand by 1990 before the boomers sold us out to the elite class and sent us all back into pre-American dark ages. We are being forced to accept noahide laws and soon we will lose property rights all together.

very true, ha !

Now THAT'S a MAN'S FLUSH...

the Ferguson lol

BAH WOOSH!!

The King of bowls, the Stradivarius of toilets and Al's said his Dad could play it like a violin.

@NY Devil we had chips and dip. It was great

@NY Devil 😂

Men Against Amazonian Masterhood

NO MA'AM meeting? Damn I wish I had been there

😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

its a classic for sure

Did you see 'Vacation' the 2015 sequel to the National Lampoon vacation series? It wasn't as good as the originals,but they had gown up Rusty Griswold taking his family on a similar trip.The funny thing is that they had Christina Applegate playing his wife.Sadly she wasn't playing Kelly Bundy. I think they missed the comedic chance of a lifetime in not having Rusty grow up to Marry Kelly,and have Griswold/Bundy little devils. They even had Chevy Chase and the lady that played Ellen Griswold make guest appearances as the grandparents.Throw elderly Al and Peg into the equation,and it would have been perfect :P

OH man, I avoided that Vacation movie, I heard it was bad. I'm just going to imagine that crossover, what a missed opportunity!

richiefranklin76. Too bad they won't have another National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with the original cast. That would be worth it. Clark & Ellen would be the grandparents this time.

@Hollyweeds Lol yep. If you ever do see the new Vacation movie just pretend Christina is playing Kelly. The kids in Vacation would be believable as Bundy offspring too. the older brother is an awkward,wimpy,loser that has trouble around women. Guess he's a lot like uncle Bud. :P And the little brother bullys the older brother,is a delinquent,and all around spawn of satan. Guess he takes more after his mama Kelly hehe.

@Roger Smith of Paradigm City I agree they really should do that,before Chevy Chase and the woman that plays his wife passes away. And of course don't forget cousin Eddy and the rest of the dysfunctional family.

... the show was made on a sound stage. I mean, now I’m questioning if you two believe the show was real.

you need to go up into sears tower

adamthewoo have you done the home alone movie since its in Chicago? Or the house is atleast

Al Bundy is my hero. I mean come on, 4 touchdowns in a single game?

adamthewoo How about some Ferris Buellers Day Off locations?

Not sure if you just mean the Chicago locations, but he did the actual Ferris Bueller home not too long ago. It's in LA.

Yeah, it was only filmed for exteriors. Like the aerial scene of Southfork Ranch on Dallas - that was just a scene of the ranch shown for the intro. The actual scenes filmed elsewhere. I've been to Southfork ranch that was then located in an unicorporated area of Plano, TX (since then annexed into the City of Parker) which is a Dallas suburb. My wife and I had our photo taken in front of the huge gate by a security guy in the guardshack back in 1981,

Just have to use your imagination, like the Bundys werent real at all but they are real if you want it to be.

Also, even shots that featured closeups from outside facing the front door, would have been done with an onstage mockup of that portion of the exterior.... After all, they were not likely to fly actors out the actual house location just to film/tape them entering the house.... Even narrative dramas (for instance, 'Breaking Bad') use mockups when filming most closeup shots of the outside of the house..... Conditions of lighting and weather are so much easier to deal with, as is the avoidance of having to move equipment and personnel to and from the location, ..

Paranormal Hood Live Radio you are very correct...the show was filmed at paramount studios in LA

Yeah, I remember a scene of Married With Children that was actually filmed outdoors, and was supposed to be in Wisconsin (the scene was a parody of the final scene of the movie Eight Men Out); but you could see mountains in the background, so that scene was probably filmed in Santa Clarita or Canyon Country

Natassha D tbs every morning from like 5am till 9:30 am I watch b4 work every morning haha, and I also thought the chicken and Steve lived next door

in some of the episodes where they were looking at the rhode's house they were looking straight across the street not next door to the right. to the left they would have needed to get out and walk past their garage.

in more than one episode, they fight over fence/tree/yard...

and i remember an episode where the sewage from the bundys house went next door to the Rhodes house

ima die hard fan... i currently live in canada and also love to explore show scenes shooting locations. in some shows, they make it seem as if the location smaller or bigger than real life. I enjoy looking from camara angle and see what they change in order to give that filling. in some cases they do it so you don't see things surrounding the scene because it interferes with the shot (or steals attention away).

There is something about Chicago that fits Adam so well. I dunno why but I see him enjoying this city so much more if he could stay a while to enjoy an Italian beef and maybe attend a few shows. I can see him enjoying many of our random events of movies in the park and taking a water taxi through the middle of downtown.

I agree so much! There's something really great about Adam in Chicago.

yes! stop by superdog or gene & jude's or portillos! man. i'm hungry now.

I think the main reason he's back is to return the rental car used to visit his sister.

+Scarlett Whisperer ASMR no, it's quiet down. It was only at Trump tower downtown.

was your boss a shoe salesman? HA HA

It was my father who introduced me to Married With Children. And it didn’t hurt that my father looked a lot like Al Bundy. Coincidence...I think not. 😛

thanks Jody

The front porch was different also. When you walked out the front door, there was a half wall with bushes on top and you had to turn to the right to get out.

The front door area was the set in the studio, not the actual front door of the house.

Marcy made it very clear she was a republican, like the time she told a freezing Kelly & Bud that she couldn't help them because she was a republican. Her hardcore feminist activities were probably just to annoy Al. Speaking of Al, he might've been a misogynist who hated the french and the system but ultimately I doubt he would've been down with Trump's entire rhetoric. He was no Archie Bunker.

I sit corrected

Keep in mind he endorsed Obama

Marcy started the show as a Republican, then became liberal after her divorce from Steve.

Al was apolitical. He hated all politicians.

I tend to believe your comment than to say that the whole show was shot at this location in this house. I think you can say that about all the tv shows. They just used this house for the intro to show that they lived in city of Chicago. According to Wikipedia: *The first two seasons of the series were videotaped at ABC Television Center in Hollywood. From season three to season eight, the show was taped at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood, and the remaining three seasons were taped at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City. The series was produced by Embassy Communications during its first season and half of its second season and the remaining seasons by ELP Communications under the studio Columbia Pictures Television.*

Your right, and this knucklehead making the vid really thinks the show was entirely shot here. 😂😂😂 And most of the dumb commentators on here think the same , to the point of arguing which house was Marcy.

Hey Jefferson when is Marcy getting her feathers plucked

Choco cake choco cake eat so much you get a tummy ache

Hey, it's almost time for an episode of MWC to come on! Now, lemme see, uh...where'd I put my Channel Master 2000?

I think you might have something there.

Love Kelly Bundy sexy outfits and pretty skin and hair; al bundy charm

izhevsk1943 well you do remember Gary’s Sweat shop working kids made more than Al

That's what they do. I doubt a lifeguard would be able to afford a huge house on the canals in Venice Beach either. (Baywatch)

... well it was a fictional tv show.

What commissions!? 😂😂

Can you think of any American sitcom or TV show where people do NOT live in detached houses? True, in many cases they seem to take place in the burbs where probably most people have their own houses. But I also think it's more convenient for them to shoot.

Not as good as it used to be

@@robertpreston2220 Exactly right. And Portillo's beefs are very "middle of the road" as far as many of the places. "It's OK".

@@rds990 Just ok is not good enough for what they charge

@@robertpreston2220 Beefs used to be lots better. Still have great cheeseburgers tho. And some locations now have gyros. They are actually pretty good. Try the ones at DesPlaines and Roosevelt.

@@rds990 I was actually at that one in Forest Park this weekend as I was visiting people in that area and one of them gave me a Portillos gift card as they did not want it. SO I went to that location asked for extra gravy on the beef and they verified they did and when I got home the beef was bone dry! Fries were cold too

She was great on Sons Of Anarchy as Gemma Teller (the actress, not the character)

oh aL...

She was also a back up singer for Fleetwood Mac

Peggy walks like a T-rex.

Al Bundy Big Uns scenes in the shows was one of the reason I got into PORN... lol...

Hahahaa! That parking timing was awesome! Awesome vlog. What else you have planned for chitown?

Hopefully nothing. Adam said he was going to be going different places and this is his second trip to Chicago lately...

Thankyou for that amazing piece - I loved that show MWC - Way back then - it was on @ 11oClock thursday night - as I recall ! - it was one of those shows in the UK it would start & stop ! - if something like a football match say - that would be shown instead ! - Then MWC it would start again -But it would miss episodes - We never got the full deal - But I loved the show I have followed the Actors through years since don't know much about the son - but ted took up martial arts his TV wife became a biker chick in another series + kelly the poor woman has had nothing but trouble through her life but proved also to be a fighter

Thankyou once again Adam ! all the very best !

The last I heard it was 50 cents... anymore that in your pocket... you will be ARRESTED and CHARGED with DEALING DRUGS on the streets of CHICAGO.... lol😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Christina Applegate made it clear she does not want to do a reunion show. Ed O' Neal said that since she doesn't want to do this he doesn't either. Listen to emmytvlegends.org interview with Ed.

you're right, I was mistaken

adamthewoo Glad you're back in Chicago to discover more TV gold, Adam. Loved your "Perfect Strangers" and "Family Matters" coverage. Fun related fact: Did you know "Family Matters" was a spin-off of "Perfect Strangers"? A lot of people don't know those shows are directly related.

northhankspin ... I thought it was across the street as well, I remember on the episode where his car rolled out of the driveway and hit the Darcy's sports car across the street

it was parked on the street there is countless episodes stating they are next door..

Adam, Marcy lived across the street in a few episodes. It was a story line goof by the writers! You're all good as usual! Thanks!

The sightlines for the fans are dramatically improved but at the end of the day it does look like a ufo landed in Soldier Field. Having watched games in both the old version and the new one I can say that once inside the new place is so much nicer than the old. From the bathrooms to the scoreboards everything is better.

Thomas Creamer It literally looks so weird how you can tell the difference between the old soldier field and the new soldier field. Inside I agree looks georgeous but I kind of like the old solider field in a way better for nostalgic purposes. And terrible architecture planning on the outside for the new soldier field. It looks like aliens invaded the old one.

It's Parthenon meets Klingnon!!!
