Married... with Children/Trivia

"Who's that ridin' in the sun? Who's the man with the itchy gun? Who's the man who kills for fun?? Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad!! He's quick with a gun! But he loves his son! Killed his wife 'cause she weighed a ton!! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad!!"
 * Married... with Children was created by Ron Leavitt and Michael G. Moye, both veteran television writers and producers. Both of whom worked on The Jeffersons.
 * Leavitt said the show was his and Moye's "adolescent rebellion against all those shows where everyone sat together at the dinner table and got along and talked and hugged and solved the world's problems in 22 minutes. I would go nuts seeing that. That wasn't my memory of what it was like to eat with my family."
 * Common Knowledge: Many fans assume the family name was a reference to notorious killer Ted Bundy. In truth, the writers were inspired by pro wrestler King Kong Bundy, who actually appeared on the show as a Special Guest twice, one of the two times As Himself.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Matt LeBlanc and David Boreanaz were featured on the show before they hit the big time.
 * Noah Segan was in the 1995 season finale.
 * Dan Castellaneta was a cemetery attendant in one episode.
 * And a gay man's "wife" in another.
 * Five former Saturday Night Live cast members have appeared on this show: Jon Lovitz from the 1985-1986 season (as a TV executive who "helps" Kelly make her talk show more salient to network TV viewers), Garrett Morris from the original 1970s cast (as one of Al's friends in the early episodes, particularly the one where Al wins Steve's paycheck in a poker game and the one where Al's barber dies and Al gets his hair done at a salon filled with camp gays and only one beautiful woman), Gilbert Gottfred from the 1980-1981 season (as himself on the two-part episode where The Bundys and The D'Arcys end up shipwrecked during a cruise), Don Novello from the 1970s episode (as his character, Father Guido Sarducci, on the episode where Buck the dog dies and gets reincarnated as Lucky the dog), and Tim Kazurinsky (from the latter half of season six through season 9 under Dick Ebersol's reign as executive producer) as the angel whom Al mistakes for God and original creator of God's Shoes.
 * Al is married to Leela.
 * The sightingsa of Milla Jovovich (French exchange student), Michael Clarke Duncan (bodyguard), and Fred Willard (timeshare salesman).
 * Nicholas Brendon showed up as a member of Ray-Ray's street gang.
 * The ever-changing lyrics to "Psycho Dad":

"A little touched, or so we're told! Killed his wife 'cause she had a cold! Might as well, she was gettin' old!! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad!! He's quick with a gun! But his job ain't done! Killed three wives by 21!! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad!!"
 * Second appearance:

"Who's that ridin' in the sleigh? Who's that firin' along the way? Who's roughin' up bums on Christmas Day?? Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad!!"
 * Third appearance -- Christmas Episode:

"Who's that tall dark stranger there? The one with the gun and the icy stare? The one with the scalp of his ex-wife's hair?? Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad!! He's a darn good pa! But he hates the law! Chopped up Reno to eat it raw!! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad!!"
 * Fourth appearance -- "The New Adventures of Psycho Dad" On Fox!:

"Who's that ridin' across the plain? Who's lost count of the wives he's slain? Who's the man who is plum insane?? Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad! Psycho Dad!!"
 * Fifth appearance of lyrics (second to last appearance of the show itself):

"Who's the man whose show is gone? Whose tv hero is on the run? Who'll be watching vh1? Loser Al! Loser Al! Loser Al!"
 * When 'Psycho Dad' got cancelled and Al asked who'd do that, Marcy shwoed up at his house to mock him with the following lyrics:

"Who's the gal who needs no man? Killed him dead with a frying pan! Did it 'cause he missed the can! Psycho Mom! Psycho Mom! She's Psycho Mom!"
 * And it's spinoff, "Psycho Mom"
