Most Successful Sitcom Ever

I removed the bit about it being the most successful American sitcom ever, for same reasons given at Talk:Amanda Bearse. Tuf-Kat

Which husband was the first one? (i.e. not the one that was the villain in Revenge of the Nerds) Tuf-Kat
As indicated in the entry, the character's name is "Marcy Rhoades D'Arcy;" the first husband was Steve Rhoades, the second, played by Ted McGinley, was Jefferson D'Arcy.
I also removed the bit about Christina Applegate being the only character to accomplish much during the show's run. Ed O'Neill was involved in a few projects during Married...with Children's lifetime, namely Dutch, the Wayne's World movies, Little Giants, and several more. -- goatasaur

A Common Style Mistake

When writing about things that happen within the storyline of a television show, it is universally accepted that the present tense should be used:

"Al is a shoe salesman," is correct, but "Al was a shoe salesman" is not.

However, you can use the past tense to distinguish between a character's past and present:

"Al was a high school football player, but is a shoe salesman."

If you're speaking about things which are outside the action of the show, you should usually use the past tense for shows no longer in production:

"The show was often directed by cast member Amanda Bearse."

In short, don't refer to the content of a TV series as if it all happened in the past.

Please Include Left Out Bundy Icon

The Bundy Icon "Toaster Leavins" was not included. Please include this item!

Jefferson D'Arcy

One quick note about Jefferson, there were several references to his past in which he might have been a spook (CIA??) of some sort.

US Syndication

I believe the show first started in weekday US syndication in 1991-2 (well before FX) on Chris Craft stations such as WWOR New York and WRBW Orlando. and can still be seen in a few markets such as KTBU Houston

Rewrite

The more I look at this page the more I realize it needs a complete and total rewrite. There's all kinds of facts on the page that are misinterprited, misrepresented, unclarifited (i.e. I'm not sure why the Seven portion of the article refers to Jumping the Shark, except that it's someone's notion that when seven was introduced they were in fact jumping the shark, which is an opinon anyway), outright erroneous, and in many cases items that were addressed in an episode for the purposes of comedy are represented as factual despite being later negated. I don't know who to contact about a rewrite, and I think it would be a bit presumtous to do it myself, so i'm hoping someone will respond to this. Smokachu13 (talk) 1:13 AM, 6 June 2008

Original cast controversy

It is not stated in the article that Tina Caspary and Hunter Carson were the original actors cast as Kelly and Bud Bundy. Here is the prove: [1] Look at the end.
