Guest JMA Report post Posted July 7, 2003 Ah, Married... With Children. One of the greatest shows EVER. It has given us many memorable characters. During the show's history Marcy (The Bundy's next door neighbor) has had two husbands: Steve and Jefferson. Steve as always clean cut and the antithesis of Al, while Jefferson was more of a "partner in crime." Which character did you prefer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted July 7, 2003 Ouch, don't make me choose. They were both great for the roles they had. But since I have to pick I'll take Jefferson 50.1% to Steve's 49.9% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted July 7, 2003 Geez, why you gotta make me choose? Two great characters, but for different reasons. Steve was Doug Christie before Doug Christie's wife made him who he is, and Jefferson's is a great two-faced sleazeball. So when in doubt, go with the No Ma'am member. Jefferson ever so slightly.

Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted July 7, 2003 Steve, if for anything, just for that episode where he thought he was going bald and he and Al tried the various "treatments". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted July 7, 2003 It is a toss-up because they each had memorable episodes. I would go Jefferson by a 1/10 of a percent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest eiker_ir Report post Posted July 8, 2003 i go with Jefferson, i tought he and Al were funnier together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Tough one, but I like Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted July 8, 2003 I went with Steve, only for the fact that it took Jefferson a season or two to get to his full capabilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted July 8, 2003 They were both great. I'm glad they did a complete 180 turn for Marcy's new husband, and that it worked, and that they got Steve into random episodes. They had a MWC marathon on FX Saturday, I caught a lot of it.

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Married with Children is about the only show Ted McGinley didn't immediately tank and it actually represents some of his best work. He nailed that character perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ghettoman Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Jefferson, he was better as Al's friend as you could see them hanging out together better than Steve, and although Steve seemed better off with Marcy when it came time for the turn on Al Jefferson was better. Steve was too clean cut for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Married with Children is about the only show Ted McGinley didn't immediately tank and it actually represents some of his best work. He nailed that character perfectly. In fairness to Ted he does come on a lot of shows when they're just about done with anyway. He doesn't have much/anything to do with that...just bad timing really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Steve. The show was better when he was on. Jefferson is hurt by the show running out of gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dames 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Isn't it amazing that the show didn't jump the shark back when they changed a major cast member...who ended up being as popular if not more so than the character he was replacing? Jefferson. As a matter of fact... Mr. Furley > Mr. Roeper. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I'm going to go with Jefferson because I first got into that show during Jefferson's first season and knew little of Steve. Now that the show's over I've seen many reruns with Steve and it took a while to get used to him but I ended up liking him eventually, but for me he couldn't compete with Jefferson. Maybe it would be different if I was older and watched the show from the beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest teke184 Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Steve. Steve was a better individual character while Jefferson was more of a foil for Al and Marcy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Jefferson ever so slightly. I didn't really care for Steve during the first couple of seasons, but the later episodes when he made sporatic appearances were golden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Oh yeah those episodes where Steve would return every once in a while were awesome. I'll still take Jefferson overall though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Voted Jefferson ... I'm stunned by the number of Steve votes, and how close people are saying their choice was. Steve was good; Jefferson was very good. No contest in my eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
