So, a funny question was asked by Nofear_intrepid40:
Did society learn anything at all from Peggy Bundy?
And the answers were:

• Tight pants and high heels= Hot.
  What was Al thinking? always trying to turn her down when she wanted to get it on? I'd have been all over that.
• Don't ever go to Wanker County.
• bon bon
• YES YOU CAN SIT ON YOUR BUTT AND EAT BON BONS AND NOT GAIN A POUND
• yes, not to ever marry a shoe salesman with no ambition..

And what d'you think about this, guys?

The television series Married…with Children started in late 1987 and had a schedule for thirteen shows. It came about from the minds of two directors named Amanda Bearse and Gerry Cohen. Their goal was to bring up a comedy series different than others in the recent past. The series was taped in Sony Studios and had brought up many controversial issues. For example, the third season of the show is the time when the show got increase fame. A woman by the name of Terry Rakolta, who lived in Michigan, had wrote to the studio that the show was out of line for public television and that it should indefinitely be taken off the air. As anyone can guess, this was the turning point of a slow improving show. The show drew attention from many aspects of life. Critics wrote in newspapers and the public spoke outloud. Finally, this was, with out question, the best thing that could have happened to the show. The ratings increased considerably and a comedy sitcom was born. Before all this happened, the two directors had auditions where they selected the following characters: Ed O’Neill as Al Bundy, Katey Sagal as Peggy Bundy, Amanda Bearse as Marcy Darcy, David Garrison as Steve Rhodes, Christina Applegate as Kelly Bundy, David Fastino as Bud Bundy, and Ted McGinley as Jefferson Darcy. There were a few other characters that were also involved that made the show more productive. The location of the setting is located at the Sony Studios. Its described as a normal looking house. For example on the set there is a couch in front of a television and a kitchen where not too much cooking goes on. The house is located on 9764 Jeopardy Lane and is where most of the show takes place. There are still other places where the show takes place. For example there is the shoestore where Al works and the garage where the NO’MAAM meetings take place. Also Al and Peg’s room is also featured to show how much the two are not intimate with eachother. In all sitcoms there is a basic unifying situation. This is a common theme that can be expected to be said or done. This can be seen on this show as follows: The Bundy’s are a stereotypical American family. Al Bundy is a shoe salesman who continually works on reliving his high school football fame and fortune. Peggy, a ditsy red head brings fear into Al’s eyes whenever she feels intimate with him or just when she spends all his money at the mall or at the salon. The daughter Kelly is a beautiful blonde who you can always count on bringing a guy home or going to a party. The son Bud is just a plain old loser. He has so much self-confidence but little evidence to prove it. He’s always looking to score but always finds a way to fail. As you go into more depth about these characters there is a clear mark that each has a specific description and play on important role in the sitcom. Ed O’Neill stars as the working class hero Al Bundy. He is around 50 years old, he is going bald, he has a beer belly, and is a full-time shoe salesman. He uses much of his time trying to evade his wife, Peg, and trying to relive his high school football fame when he scored four touchdowns in one game. Al also plays a leader on the show when he co-founds a guy organization named “NO MA’AM” which is a group of pathetic men that are against women’s secrecy and power and for all men’s rights and superiority. Katey Sagal plays Peggy Bundy on the show. She looks like she is in her late thirties, has red hair and is slim. She doesn’t work but uses Al’s money to go to the mall and buy clothes. She plays a very ditsy wife that always seems to be getting on Al’s last nerve. Christina Applegate plays Kelly Bundy on the show. She is a blond stereotype. Also, an outgoing, good-looking teenager that tends to be seen with many guys. Kelly is the daughter of Al and Peggy and tends to be the party animal on the show. David Faustino plays Bud Bundy on the show. He is the son of Al and Peggy Bundy and the brother of Kelly Bundy. He is what you say the “loser” on the show. He constantly looking to get with girls but is totally out of the picture. Everytime it seems like he’s getting close to “score” he does something to ruin his chances. Amanda Bearse plays Marcy Darcy on the show. She is married to Jefferson Darcy. They are neighbors to the Bundy's. Marcy is a very petite but a strict wife. She seems to have control of her husband and always gets into verbal disputes with Al and Jefferson. She is also the leader of a girl group, where they want girl power. Ted McGinely plays Jefferson Darcy on the show. He is the husband of Marcy and good friends with Al Bundy. He always goes behind his wife’s back to hang out with the guys and just has no self-power. He is constantly being bossed around by Marcy, but yet plays a fun part on the show. The first show that I reviewed was recorded at 11:00pm on UPN 9. The title of the show was “Al Loses His Cherry.” It started out as usual when Al and Peggy got into and argument. Instead of sticking around and Читать далее...

	From the webmaster's photos taken at the Rose Bowl...
Katey Sagal and Ed O'Neill appeared at the Rose Bowl in 1987 to promote their then-new show on Fox, "Married... with Children". KOKI Channel 23 had just arrived in Tulsa as a Fox affiliate.

(via email 7/30/2002) Mark Hyatt was there, too: The pics I'm sending you of Al & Peg Bundy, I took with a camera that belonged to the owner (retired) of Rose Bowl. I was employed at Rose Bowl during 1987 (as a mechanic) so I've seen it all in person. I lived across the street from the Rose Bowl at that time.

The love between a man and his favorite commode is nothing short of kismet. Searching throughout modern and ancient history, toilet love is fairly evident. But the greatest love a man has ever shown his crapper was the love between Al "Crazy Legs" Bundy and his mighty Ferguson.

For those of you who have been living inside your own toilets, Al Bundy was the alpha male character in the great Fox sitcom Married... With Children. Al's total and utter despair in modern suburbia showed us all exactly what a truly miserable life would be like. His children were morons, his wife was a lazy, red-headed, nagging monster, and his neighbor was a maniacal lesbian. When he left his shitty castle, he went to his shitty job selling shoes to fat women.

[400x300]

Al: When I was growing up, I had two dreams. One was being an astronaut and landing on the planet Jane Mansfield. The other was having a bathroom all to myself. Well, Daddy got blown off course and had to crash on a much darker planet. (Al touches Peggy's head.) But family, I'm going to realize my second dream. I'm going to build a bathroom -- the greatest bathroom in the world. And I want you to know something, all of you -- NOBODY USES THAT BATHROOM BUT ME.

Yes, a truly miserable life was his. His only escapes were watching his favorite TV show Psycho Dad, holding council with his men's club NO MA'AM, and driving in his beloved car, the mighty Dodge. But mightier than all those joys in Al's life was his love for his Ferguson.

Al: When I was a boy I told myself when I grew up I would have one thing. A toilet bowl like my dad had.

Peggy: I thought it was a head like a peanut. He had one of those, too.

Al: you're not going to ruin my moment, Peg. Now stand back and feast your eyes on... this!

[400x300]

Kelly: is it just me, or is that a toilet?

Al: Not just a toilet... a FERGUSON. The King of bowls!

Rarely would you see Al ever happy in his life of hell. His only smiles came when he was watching TV and when he was entering his place of Zen: his bathroom. There was originally only one bathroom in the Bundy household. But in Season three, Al takes it upon himself to build himself the bathroom to end all bathrooms, replete with Ferguson. In typical Al Bundy style, it comes out as a cold, dark place. But in a future episode, when Peg remodels it into bright, vibrant colors, Al destroys it and rebuilds it using his symbol of manhood: his father's hammer.

[400x300]

Al: Bud, sit down. Let me tell you the story of the Ferguson. Now these babies were made in Maine, you know, at the little Ferguson factory. It's the Stradivarius of toilets. And my Dad could play it like a violin.

Yup, I'll never forget the time my dad took me to Maine to visit the factory. I had to go to the bathroom. And I begged him to pull into a truck stop. He said no, wait until we get there! It'll be worth it! It was!

How could a man survive such a horrid life? He could survive because his Ferguson got him through it. Whenever Al was feeling down, he would go one of two places: to rest upon his mighty Ferguson, or down to the local nudie bar. And, really, what else does a man need?

Bud: Excuse me, Dad, but a toilet is a toilet.

Al: (grimacing) Bud... the toilets today aren't worthy of the name! They come in designer colors... they're too low! When you flush them, they make this weak, almost apologetic sound. But not the Ferguson. It only comes in white. And when you flush it... BaaaWOOOSH! That's a man's flush, Bud. A Ferguson says, "I'm a toilet. Sit down and give me your best shot." Oh, if only a Ferguson could speak, the tales it would tell!

[показать] Marcy, played by Amanda Bearse (pronounced as "burce"), is the partner dominating neighbour of the Bundys. She is a feminist and Al often teases her because of her flat chest. He also calls her a "chicken". In the later seasons, many people consider her to be a young man due to her short hair. Marcy is also politically correct, fighting sometimes for fat, pregnant or ugly women. On the other side, she can have sadistic feelings towards people who did harm to her. Marcy worked until episode 204 in "The Leading Bank of Chicago". Then she went to the "Kyoto National Bank". Marcy's first husband was Steven Bartholomew Rhoades, played by David Garrison. Steve is always between Marcy's good influence and Al's bad influence. In episode 204 he got Marcy's banker job, but after having lost this job he leaves her in the middle of season four. In season five, Marcy marries Jefferson Milhouse D'Arcy, played by Ted McGinley. He's a gigolo, sitting at home all day. Only sometimes he makes some money with weird jobs, at the stock market or in other obscure ways. Jefferson was a CIA agent and a prison inmate before he met Marcy. Steve and Marcy's divorce is never mentioned, but Steve returns four times after Marcy's re-marriage. Somehow Marcy still seems to love Steve later in the series (710). As opposed to the Bundys, the Rhoades and the D'Arcys, respectively, always have money to drive fancy German cars and they also have a wild sex life.

Peggy Bundy Maquette

When flipping television stations, are there certain shows which make you stop flipping and pay attention? Everyone has their own list of shows which, once on the screen, stay on until the episode is over, no matter how many times you may have already seen that particular episode. Although this list is a personal thing, there are certain shows which are on a lot of "remote stopper" lists: Cheers, M*A*S*H, All in the Family, Seinfeld, and Married with Children are shows which make many people stop flipping and start watching.


Cheers was a place we wished we could go, M*A*S*H made us laugh and cry, All in the Family pushed boundaries, and Seinfeld was about nothing. But Married with Children, well, it is a head-scratcher. A comedy about a dysfunctional family in Chicago, it left many viewers confused about one key element: how could Al Bundy have no interest at all in his wife Peggy, who was obviously an extremely attractive and, to be blunt, willing, woman? Al was supposed to be your average frustrated middle-aged man, getting no respect at work and no respect from his friends or family. Yet he had a drop-dead gorgeous wife, and inexplicably ignored her. Viewers wished that they had his "problems."

Married with Children ran on FOX from 1987 to 1997, so the "situation" in this situation comedy was one that viewers liked. In addition to Peggy, the daughter on the show (Kelly) was also "eye candy" for viewers, and the son (Bud) was essentially a younger Al, getting no respect from anyone.


Peggy Bundy was played by Katey Sagal, older sister to the twins who starred on the short-lived series Double Trouble in the mid-1980s. Since the end of Married with Children, Katey Sagal has been Hyde's mother on That 70s Show and supplied the voice for Leela on Futurama. Not limiting herself to just acting, she has also been a back-up singer for Bette Midler, Bob Dylan, and Gene Simmons.

Electric Tiki Design has chosen Peggy Bundy to be the third maquette in their "Tooned Up Television" series, following Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie and Samantha from Betwitched. The Married with Children sub-series will continue with Al Bundy, and then Kelly and Bud. The "Tooned Up Television" maquettes translate popular television characters into cartoonish versions, boiling the characters down to the essential elements. In the case of the Peggy maquette, these elements include her giant hairdo and her walk.

Peggy's unique walk is due to the combination of her high-heeled shoes and her rather tight pants. The pants have a slightly glossy finish, giving the impression of a stretchy fabric. Very often on the show, Peggy's walk was accompanied by her hands waving in the air, and Electric Tiki has captured this in the sculpt of the maquette. Her hands are in the air and only one of her feet is flat on the base, with the other leg bent as if she is taking a step. Peggy's outfit is completed with a tight leopard pattern shirt with cut-outs on the shoulders.

The face of the maquette is a caricature of Katey Sagal, with a wide smile, rosey cheeks, and closed eyes. Peggy's hair is enormous: piled much higher on her head than it was on the show and forming a helmet which hides her ears and shoulders. Her hair extends halfway down her back, with a few curls cascading over her shoulders in the front.



Not counting the small base, the Peggy maquette is about 9.5 inches tall, with about .75 inches of that being the hair built up over where the top of her head should be.

Peggy was designed ("tooned up") by Tracy Lee and sculpted by Tony Cipriano. This piece is a limited edition of 2,500 regular editions and 50 artist proofs. The maquette is packed sturdily inside the box with molded Styrofoam pieces and has a numbered color Certificate of Authenticity. The bottoms of the maquette and the box are also numbered.

Little Bud-pics from the 1st season

Who's that riding 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 sleeps with a gun but he loves his son
Killed his wife 'cos she weighed a ton. He's Psycho Dad.

A little touched or so we're told,
Killed his wife 'cos she had a cold
Might as well she was getting old
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Dad.

He's quick with a gun
And his job ain't done.
He's Psycho Dad

Who's that riding in the sleigh?
Who's that firing along the way?
Who's roughing up bums on Christmas day?
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad

Who's that riding across the plain?
Who's proud 'cos his wife is slain?
Who's the man who's plumb insane?
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad

 

Go away, Peg.

Begone Jackals.

That's a good one, God!!

Oh. life is good! But not for me ...

I'm jealous of every man not married to you.

Behind every successful man is a woman who didn't marry me.

I'm the only guy in the world who has to wake up to have a nightmare.

Christmas is not the time for regrets. That's what anniversaries are for.

Love is not only blind but stupid.

Peggy : Tell me you love me, Al.
Al : I love football, I love beer, let's not cheapen the meaning of the word.

Peggy : Tell me you love me, Al
Al : Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Peggy : Tell me you love me, Al
Al : Peggy, it hurts my stomach.

If you want to have sex, the kids will have to leave. If you want it to be good, then you will have to leave.

Burned Beyond Recognition"??? Why can't these bands have cool names like when we were kids? Bands like "Nineteen Ten Fruitgum Company"!

If your life was any easier, you'd be in an urn in the ground!

Don't quit your day couch, Peg!

Behind every successful man is a woman who did not marry me.!

You do not want Kelly! From the moment she was conceived she has made men's lives miserable. Swaggart, Baker, Kennedy ... Kennedy, Kennedy ... Swaggart again!!!

The home shopping network! There's a good idea for women! It was a little too hard driving to the mall with a couch strapped to their ass!!!

It's amazing! They don't even have gravity in Wanker county but they have the home shopping network!!!

Marcy's niece? She must be from the unfeathered side of the family!

This wouldn't be a bad job if people didn't come in here!

Well, with a name like Leslie I think your a sissy!!!

He's my son!!! Don't you think I know he stinks?!!

In ten days we bowl for the championship which means we start intense training! Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Beer are in, protect your bowling arm at all times! Sex before the match is out! ... Unless of course you can keep it secret from the wives.

Marcy : We're having a new addition to our family!
Al : Shouldn't you be at home sitting on it to hatch?

Al : Cut to the left, cut to the left!!! Now!!! Go for the end zone!!
Bud : I thought you were looking at cheerleaders.
Al : I am. Damn cameraman's shooting their faces!!!

Marcy : I am Marcy Darcy here on behalf of the Coalition for the Esthetically Challenged.
Al : Challenged? I'd say defeated, exiled and left for dead!

No problem, I was on my way back to town to get a hernia operation anyway! Can I get anybody else a hundred pounds of anything?

Peg : You haven't been very nice to my family.
Al : Neither has nature, go bother it!

That's the sound of the axel hitting the ground. That means one of two things. Either Peg's family's in town or everybody in China just jumped off a chair.

Your life is meaningless compared to Hondo!!!

I welcome death!

I saw your mother naked and everything went black!!! I think my eyes were trying to protect my heart!!!

Peggy : Why don't you take us all out for dinner?
Al : What the hell, kids, you never wanted to go to college anyway, did you?

Congratulations Peg, you've just won a trip to disneyfist!

Shoes ... no kind of life for a man ...

You hate to see me eat, don't you, Peg?

If daddy gets the (electric) chair, will you sit on his lap one last time? (to Kelly)

5000 bucks for a Barbie doll??? A real woman isn't worth that much ...

... show them, as only you can, that the female body is not to be appreciated, but to be feared, reviled and in the case of most of you, kept totally covered at all times.

It would make a great movie! Better than that damn Columbus. America was already there, it would take a genius to invent a toilet bowl!

We didn't break free from that pantsy country England by voting! We did it by throwing their stinkin' tea in our American harbour! And why? Because Americans don't like tea. We like coffee. And Americans don't like wine. We like beer. Ice cold. Ice-cold-best-in-a-bottle-but-fine-any-way-you-can-get-it-belchin. It would make a great movie! Better than that damn Columbus.

Chicago, IL

Al is a shoe salesman. He is married, drives a dilapidated Dodge Dart automobile and works for Garry's Shoes & Accessories for the Beautiful Woman at New Market Mall.


Al's wife, Margaret “Peggy” [née Wanker] is a red-headed, cigarette-smoking, bon-bon eating homemaker from Wanker County, Wisconsin who never cooks or cleans but loves to shop. Peg likes to watch TV talk shows, especially Oprah.

Al and Peggy share their modest home with beautiful but dim-witted daughter, Kelly [she‘s a slut]; son, Budrick "Bud" [he‘s socially inept]; Seven Bundy, the son of Peggy’s cousin Zemus who lived with the Bundy’s for a while; Yvette, a gorgeous French foreign exchange student who stayed temporarily with the Bundy‘s [so the Bundy’s could get $500 a month for hosting her], and a Briard dog named Buck [later reincarnated as Lucky, a cocker spaniel].

When Al wants to escape Peggy and the rigors of married life he goes to a nudie bar called The Jiggly Room. He also enjoys reading a girlie magazine named Big Uns, and a meticulously cared-for collection of Playboy magazines; watching the “Psycho Dad” TV show; bowling; and complaining about women to fellow members of NO MA’AM [National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood.]

Although Al goes to the nudie bar, he is still faithful to Peg. As he said “I show the nudie bar it’s due respect. A man looks, drools, dreams but never cheats.” He once revealed his views on marriage saying “Have you no respect for the torturous sanctity of marriage. We Bundy’s may have our faults, but we believe marriage should be forever—no matter how pitiful or disgusting it maybe to wake up to the same horrifying face each day. That’s what the marriage vows are all about. And anyone who can‘t stand the nagging, bon-bon eating heat, should stay out of the whining, sex-starved kitchen.“

Al buys his clothes at Bob’s Pre-owned Socks ‘n’ Stuff. His favorite foods are Turkey and Weenie Tots – “Nature‘s Most Perfect Food.“ His dream is to have his own personal executive washroom with a mighty Ferguson toilet [“for a man’s flush“]. And he is extremely proud of the fact that in his 1966 glory days at Polk High he made “four touch-downs in one game.” [Al gave the game ball from his greatest gridiron day to Sandy, a former flame]. To make extra money Al took a second job at Burger Trek fast food store. In his spare time Al invented shoe lights and hosted a shoe advice line called Dr. Shoe: 555-SHOE.

Married in 1972, Al and Peg first met at Polk High School where Peg flunked home economics. Her arch rival was Connie Bender (whom Peg later beat out for Queen of their High School reunion). In high school, Peg's promiscuity earned her the nickname Peggy “No need to thank her” Wanker. As a wife, Peg is constantly irresponsible with Al’s hard-earned minimum wage salary. She wears a Perfect Figure Model 327 bra [36C cup]; calls the remote control “Clicky” and steals garbage from her next-door neighbor as evidence that she has done some housework. In the love department, Peg declared that Al is still her Prince Charming, but joked “At least two times a year, your father makes me feel like a teenager...That’s because he has no money and a bad car.” Occasionally, Peg takes a night-off and enthusiastically stuff’s dollar bills down the trunks of strippers at Troy’s, a local male strip club.

Once, Peg pick-pocketed Al’s wallet. He chastised her saying "Never leave me with empty pants again."
