Die Serie folgt dem Alltagsleben der Bundys. Al Bundy ist ein ehemaliger Highschool-Footballspieler, der sein Leben lang davon zehrt, auf der Polk High School in einem einzigen Spiel vier Touchdowns erzielt zu haben, und seit seiner Heirat gezwungen ist, seinen Unterhalt als Damenschuhverkäufer zu verdienen; seine stets arbeitsunwillige Frau Peggy ist bekannt für ihr hochtoupiertes rotes Haar, kitschig/trashige Kleidung und ihre starke Abneigung gegenüber dem eigenen Haushalt; schließlich die gemeinsamen Kinder Kelly – ihre ebenso attraktive wie stets begriffsstutzige Tochter – und Bud, der nicht sehr beliebte, aber durchaus intelligente jüngste Spross der Familie.
Hauptbesetzung von Married... with Children
Ed O'Neill
Al Bundy
Ed O'Neill played the iconic role of Al Bundy on the television sitcom 'Married... with Children,' which aired from 1987 to 1997. His portrayal of Al Bundy, a disgruntled shoe salesman and family man, was widely praised for its comedic timing and relatable depiction of suburban struggles, making it a standout character in 90s television. O'Neill's unique ability to blend deadpan humor with a touch of vulnerability gave the show a distinctive edge that resonated with audiences. A lesser-known fact about his involvement is that O'Neill, who was a bit skeptical about the show's success in its early days, actually drew on his own experiences growing up in a working-class family to bring authenticity to the role, helping to shape Al Bundy into the beloved character fans remember today.
Christina Applegate
Kelly Bundy
Christina Applegate's portrayal of Kelly Bundy in the TV show 'Married... with Children' is iconic for its comedic timing and embodiment of the stereotypical ditzy blonde, which brought a distinct charm and humor to the dysfunctional Bundy family dynamic. Unlike her later, more nuanced roles such as in 'Samantha Who?' where she showcased her range in drama and comedy, Kelly Bundy remained a lighthearted, exaggerated character that capitalized on Applegate's flair for comedy. A fun trivia fact is that Christina Applegate won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2002, well after her time on 'Married... with Children,' illustrating her evolution as an actress beyond this early breakout role.
