Married... with Children - Trivia

. The episode "I'll See You In Court" was slated to be shown in season 3. The producers could not come to an agreement with the network censors. The episode was finally shown in the U.S. on the FX network on June 18, 2002.

. The last episode aired on May 5, 1997 on Fox TV.

. Was the longest running show to never win an Emmy until "Baywatch" (1989) was cancelled in 2001.

. Many of the original producers later collaborated on the WB series "Unhappily Ever After" (1995), which bore many similarities to MWC.

. In some episodes, the Bundy home address is 9764 Jeopardy Lane, Chicago, Illinois. In other episodes, the address is 9674 Jeopardy Lane.

. In the episode "England Show Part 1", when the Bundys arrive at the airport, there is a person holding a sign in the background with the last name: Leavitt. Another person holds a sign that says Moye. This is a reference to Executive Producers Ron Leavitt and Michael G. Moye (who also wrote the show).

. According to Michael G. Moye, the name Bundy is from King Kong Bundy--who later made an appearance as one of Peg's hillbilly cousins--not Ted Bundy.

. After the 1992-1993 season, Seven's mysterious disappearance is alluded to often, such as in the "Touchdown Trivia" episode, when Al is filling Kelly's head with sports facts and she forgets about Buck and Seven, and in the "Carpool" episode, where Seven's face is shown as "Missing" on the Bundys' milk carton

. The roles of Al and Peg Bundy were first offered to Sam Kinison and Roseanne.

. Ted McGinley first appeared on the show as "Norman Jablonsky" in episode: "It's a Bundyful Life: Part 2".

. In "Get the Dodge Out of Hell", Episode #917, Jefferson has a job at the car wash and the apron he wears reads "Traugott's House of Scrubbin'." Walter Traugott was the man who Jefferson supposedly had killed while watching a baseball game in Episode #820 "The D'Arcy Files" because he knew of Jefferson's past as a spy.

. The show spawned the spin-off "Top of the Heap" (1991) which characters from both shows casts would frequently appear on the others. The show later became "Vinnie & Bobby" (1992) before finally being cancelled.

. The series makes several references to the movie Deliverance (1972). Ed O'Neill, who plays Al Bundy, had a small part as a police officer in the film.

. Makes references to Ed O'Neill's film, Dutch (1991). The film is mention in the first part of The England Show when Al is on the plane. In the episode where Al and Peggy go to the video store to rent a movie, a poster for the film is covering Ed's eyes.

. Prior to the spin-offs: "Top of the Heap" (1991)(TV), later re-titled "Vinnie & Bobby"(1992)(TV), "MWC" had two other ideas for spinoffs, "Enemies" and "Radio Free Trumaine". Enemies dealt with Kelly's friends fighting and falling in love again, while Radio Free Trumaine was about Bud's college. They remained as episodes for the MWC seasons, but never made the final cut for more episodes.

. In the opening sequence the shot of the cars on the interstate interchange is part of a scene from Vacation (1983).

. The fountain shown at the beginning of the credits is the Buckingham Fountain in downtown Chicago.

. In the episode "Al Bundy, Shoe Dick" it is revealed that the previous episodes of season 6 were all a dream. Katey Sagal had miscarried in real life, so the writers decided to get rid of Peggy and Marcy's pregnancies.

. According to Ed O'Neill and David Faustino, much of their life was parodied on the show. O'Neill (Al Bundy) did play college football. Faustino (Bud Bundy) wanted to be a rapper, hence his character Grandmaster B.

. After the show was an unexpected success among young adults in Germany, broadcasting network RTL produced a German version called "Hilfe, meine Familie spinnt". The scripts and every single joke of the original's 1987-1988 season were translated and the family was called "Struck", but it was canceled after one season (1992).

. Bud's middle name is Franklin.

. "No Ma'am" stands for National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood.

. Like Seven, many of the show's extra characters lasted for one season. Al's colleague in the shoe store, Luke Ventura, appeared in season one; Amber, the D'Arcys' niece, appears in season ten; and Aaron, Al's first shoe sidekick, appeared in season nine.

. Ed O'Neill is the only actor from the show to appear in all 260 episodes, from the lost episode to the failed pilots that stayed in the show.
