Guest MrRant Report post Posted July 15, 2002 I believe Married With Children was the greatest sitcom family ever. The only one that comes close in my mind would be All In The Family (The Simpsons don't count because its animated). Al Bundy was possibly the greatest character ever in my mind and gave us so many lines. The show also ran for I believe 9 years and I can hardly any episodes that I don't enjoy. Bud, Kelly and Peg all also filled their roles perfectly. Your thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted July 15, 2002 I pretty much gave up on MWC once that blond kid *was it Seven?* showed up, but all in all it was a great show. However, I'm not a die-hard Simpsons fan, but I gotta go with the family from Springfield as the greatest sitcom family ever. I know you're not including them in this discussion, but I am.

Well fuck you for including them just kidding. I agree the Simpsons are great and is one of the greatest shows of all time but I'm not including them because its animated and to me it isn't fair to compare MWC to the Simpsons. Also... did you see any episodes after Seven left? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted July 15, 2002 Greatest ever? I don't think so, but it did help make FOX a network. It also stretched the limits of decency on network tv when wholesome family shows like Cosby were popular. I think Cosby, Rosanne, and its clone Unhapply Married After were better shows.

Guest MrRant Report post Posted July 15, 2002 Some quotes from this great show... all from Al (Our God) Bundy. It's only a game if you win but if you lose it's a stinking waste of time. --------------------------------------- If God had wanted women to play ball, he would've made them men. --------------------------------------- You know what I would do if I was President? I'd take a big empty state, that nobody's using, y'know, like Idaho, and I'd pack every pregnant woman in the country into donut trucks, and convoy 'em all to Boise. And since Idaho means nothing anyhow, I'd change the name to Preg-naho. --------------------------------------- Son, let this be a lesson to you. Never do tequila shooters within a country mile of a marriage chapel. --------------------------------------- All right, all right. I said I was going, and I'm going. But let me tell you something. I'm not gonna just disappear. You'll see me again. Wherever a woman shoves a smelly foot in some poor guy's face, I'll be there. Whenever someone tries to return a shoe they've been wearing for three months, I'll be there. And whenever kids come into a store and leave their old shoes here and sneak out wearing new ones, I'll be there, too. And madam, when Shamu needs a mate, you'll be there. --------------------------------------- I'm tracking down Seven's real parents. Nobody sticks Al Bundy with unwanted kids except his wife. --------------------------------------- We're gonna go where people pretend to want to go when they can't afford to go someplace good. We're gonna see America. We take no map. We'll follow the sun. Stay in cheap motels and steal what we need along the way. We go west, past the cheese factories, where the air is fresh, the sky is big, and a man can still kill his dinner with his car. Guys, tomorrow we put the pedal to the metal and we ride with the wind. --------------------------------------- A man is a man all his life, A woman is only sexy till she becomes your wife! --------------------------------------- Six bucks is to much to spend on any woman. --------------------------------------- Let me explain something to you Marcy... Cluck, Cluck, Cluck, Cluck, Cluck --------------------------------------- Yeah, doggone it. If we could only be comfortable with our age like you darn gals. You know, I mean, in the morning you go into the bathroom, a little blush, a little mascara and voila! Yu got an old woman scared of rain. Then you try and clean and jerk your breasts into a bra, ease some exercise pants over that front and back belly, go down to the market and flirt with the bag boy. I guess what I'm trying to say is it's just pretty pathetic when we guys try to cling to our youth. --------------------------------------- Children... Oh what the hell, Wolfen.. let me tell you something about sharing. Don't do it. It can only come to trouble. Your mother and I shared a bed and nothing goodcame out of that. --------------------------------------- If God had wanted women to play ball, he would have made them men. --------------------------------------- If God had wanted women to bowl, he would've put breasts on their backs so we would have something to watch while waiting our turn --------------------------------------- Al insulting Peg I had a dream last night. A big red haired mosquito in tight pants was hovering over me sucking money out of my wallet. --------------------------------------- We all have to live with our disappointments... I have to sleep with mine. --------------------------------------- Peg, when you married me, was it pre-meditated or a drive-by marriage. --------------------------------------- Ah, Peg. You're down here. Damn. Then I was dreaming you ran off with the dwarf down at the bookstore, and I was living in sin with a Playboy centerfold and her eight friends who could speak but chose not to. --------------------------------------- (Al doesn't want to install a radio in Peg's car) Peg: "What am I supposed to listen to?" Al: "Your own beautiful voice. If God didn't want other people to hear it, he wouldn't have made it so shrill." --------------------------------------- Al about his life: So, we're having a new baby. The gods are on a roll, aren't they? Must've been playing another round of „Can you top this?“ One started off, „We'll make him a shoe salesman.“ Then another said, „We'll give him a red-head.“ Then another one, probably a cruel, hungover god, said, „But let's have him be a mighty athlete in high school first so his fall will be all the greater.“ --------------------------------------- Kelly's Gems Remember, attraction is a three-way street. Or is it a one-way tunnel? Hmm, in any case, I do know it's a four-lane highway, but it takes two to use the car-pool lane. I guess what I'm trying to say is, what the younger generation has learned is that there's nothing for us to watch on CBS, and you've got to be yourself. A man has to love you for you, not some costume. He's gotta love who you are. --------------------------------------- Hey! I just thought that Roman candles meant thatthey were imported - you know, from Romany! ---------------------------------------- Al insults Marcy Here's 10 things to make you more attractive to your sex symbol husband: 10. Wear traditional Islamic garb covering all but eyes 9. Feather removing electrolysis 8. Ski mask 7. Sew up holes in ski mask 6. Have an attractive woman stand in front of you at all times 5. Beak job 4. Put paper bag over ski mask 3. Shave hed, tatoo Cindy Crawford's face on back, learn to walk backwards 2. Poke eyes out of every man on earth 1. Get President to make every day Halloween! --------------------------------------- Marcy gets revenge as Al has a circumcision We heard about your little loss We know you'll make it through 'cos thankfully the part they took was of no use to you and though they took more than you'd like the good look is you see another quarter inch it'd been a full lobotomy!

Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted July 15, 2002 I think it is one of the best TV shows ever. I think it should have at least made TV Guide's top 50. If nothing else we should all thank Married With Children for saving the Fox Network and allowing us so many great Simpsons episodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted July 15, 2002 saturnmark is my new best friend. As norm Macdonald's #1 fan I'd have to say Norm was the second greatest show of all time. I didn't like the Jenny storyline so thats why it's not #1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted July 17, 2002 i grew up on married with children (not sure what that explains) so i am a little bias towards the show. it was always one of my all time favouites. it was one of the rare shows that was hilarious right from the beginning although it did sputter a little in it's last years. of course the show was offensive and i think everyone that wanted to tune into the show did and that is why it had consistant ratings throughout it's tenure. watch the e! true hollywood story on married with children if you haven't seen it because it provided some great insight into the show.
