A Wig, but Not Peggy’s
Christina Applegate became famous as Kelly on “Married… with Children.” But because she had red hair for a movie role, she wore a blonde wig for most of season 10 of the show. This made things a bit tricky for the production because her hair color had changed, and they needed her to look like Kelly. So, she wore a wig to match the character’s blonde hair.
Where’s Seven?
Remember Seven, Peggy’s cousin’s son on the show? Well, he vanished mysteriously after season seven. The show hinted at his absence in clever ways. In season eight, Kelly forgot about him, and in another episode, they showed his picture on a milk carton as “Missing.” Seven’s disappearance became a quirky and ongoing mystery in the series.
What’s in a Name?
The Bundy and Rhoades names were taken after two popular pro wrestlers of the time, King Kong Bundy — who guest-starred twice on the show, once as himself — and Dusty Rhodes. This is contrary to the popular belief that the family was named after serial killer Ted Bundy.
Do Vista Cards Exist?
No, you can’t use a “Vista” card to buy groceries. But in the show “Married… with Children,” there’s a sign in Al Bundy’s shoe shop that says “VISTA” cards. It makes you wonder, did they misspell “Visa” on purpose to show his store was struggling, or did they want to avoid legal trouble? We may never know, but if you didn’t pay attention, it could look like “Visa” at first glance.
There Was A Banned Episode
Did you know there’s a “Married… with Children” episode Fox didn’t air during season 3? It’s called “I’ll See You In Court.” A lady named Terry Rakolta, who’s connected to Mitt Romney, got upset about it. But the producers didn’t give up, and the episode finally aired in 2002. In that episode, Al Bundy couldn’t stop staring at a model.
Al Bundy’s Anti-Feminist Club
“Married… with Children” had some things that might not be in a show today. One of them is Al Bundy’s club called “No Ma’am.” It really means “National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood.” This club was against feminists being in charge. It’s interesting to think about what could have happened if a different person played Al Bundy.
