Married... with Children/Trivia
- 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.
- 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.

Who's the man whose show is gone? |
