Plots(1)

From 1987 to 1997, Fox-TV documented the adventures of the Bundys--a comically distorted view of the typical American family. Patriarch Al (Ed O'Neill) is a former high school football star who has been relegated to selling women's shoes. Peggy is his overly amorous, high-haired wife with a penchant for leopard skin clothes. Daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate) is a ditzy party girl, while son Bud (David Faustino) would do anything to make his virginity a thing of the distant past. (official distributor synopsis)

Married with Children (1987) 

English As a wiseman once said, the problem with satire is that there are too many idiots who take it as a validation of their way of life. Married with Children is brilliant swipe at the lifestyle of the lower middle class and gender stereotypes in particular. In later season, it is also ingeniously self-reflective and caricaturises not only the stereotypes of "the American way", but also the media pillars that shape it. ()
