Kelly’s Favorite Comic

Kelly Bundy wasn’t shown reading all that much over the course of the series, given her characters… um below average intelligence. However, early own in the show’s run, she was often seen attempting to read Garfield comics. Perhaps producers felt that the misanthropic feline aligned with the Married With Children worldview.

Ratings

Despite Married With Children’s large fanbase and cultural influence, the series was never a massive ratings success. The highest ratings the series ever achieved ever was 29th for the year in season 6, with most seasons falling somewhere in the 50s or 60s. However, the series would gain exposure another way…

Syndication

Despite the relatively low ratings, the series was a smash hit in syndication. Plus, since – especially during the early seasons – For wasn’t available everywhere, the syndicated “reruns” were often new to many viewers, helping grow the show’s fanbase immensely throughout the 1990s.

Officer Dan, FBI Man?

For most of Married With Children’s run, Dan Tullis Jr. appeared as corrupt cop/friend of Al Bunny Officer Dan. However, he also appeared as an unnamed FBI officer in the season 6 episode “The Egg and I”, confusing many longtime viewers.

Oops

In long-distance establishing shots of the Bundy home, the front door is very clearly white. However, in closer establishing shots as well the actual set, the door was red. No word on whether someone was ever fired for that blunder.
