Al was one of the all-time great philosophers.

Bud owns a couple of highly successful restaurants in LA. I am pretty certain he is fine financially.

I’ve watched it a time or two, the original. It is NOT funny. It has a darkness in it, a sinister overtone.

Thanks for sharing, pearl clutcher

At a cursory level, “Modern Family” could be considered an alternative universe spinoff of “Married With Children”. Al gets divorced from Peggy, somehow becomes wealthy in a pedestrian sales job and marries a trophy wife. Rebellious daughter settles down and starts a family, academically gifted but socially awful son turns out to be gay.
Given how much broadcast television wouldn’t accept in the original series now, I think Modern Family pushes the boundaries enough to make that view satisfying.
I don’t know how an updated take on the original series works for a woke-minded TV network without making Al the constant focus for either hatred or humiliation for the entire series (and Ed O’Neil likely has too much money for that degradation). I know if they ignore the woke folk, it would make money, there’s a craving for content that rejects the modern sensibilities. At least there are still people trying, whatever that means.

Maybe you are the raging lunatic.
You have no clue what the heck you are talking about.

Loved “Married With Children”
A cartoon version would be great, as long as they don't go woke.
Al Bundy was totally politically incorrect. That's what made the show great. They make it woke and it will fall.
To: backwoods-engineer
Ah c’mon, you’re just projecting, admit it! It was funny on so many levels. 😁

Family Guy executive producer Alex Carter wrote the revival and will serve as showrunner. Not a choice that is going to make me an eager viewer. Family Guy has become nothing but a leftist mouthpiece, IMO.

Most of the jokes from Seinfeld were stolen from Married with Children.
To: Trillian
There is a great scene in that episode where Sam went off script and pinched Peggy’s ass. Classic.
