Married... with Children/Trivia

"Who's that ridin' in the sun?
 * 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."
 * 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.

Loser Al! Loser Al! Loser Al!"
