LOS ANGELES (AP) - Television writer and producer Ron Leavitt has died. He was 60.
His publicist says Leavitt died of lung cancer at his home in Los Angeles.
Leavitt co-created "Married With Children," a sitcom about the luckless shoe salesman Al Bundy and his dysfunctional family.
"Married With Children" ran on the Fox network from 1987 to 1997 and became the network's second-longest running sitcom behind "The Simpsons."
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Leavitt broke into television in the 1970s writing episodes of "Busting Loose," "Happy Days," "Laverne & Shirley" and "The Bad News Bears."
Leavitt is survived by two children, Matt and Samantha, and his fiance, model and actress Jessica Hahn.

Low budget Bundy-style euthanasia?
Seriously though, may he rest in peace.

I thought it was one of the absolute worst programs EVER on television, but my condolences to his friends and family anyway.

"Jessica Hahn" Of Jim and Tammy-Faye Bakker fame. She the temptress who had Jimmy under her (ahem) charms.
See Google Images, if you dare.

Jessica Hahn? Now THERE’s a blast from the past.
Last I heard of her she was Howard Stern’s foil. Heck, that was at least 15 years ago.

LOL That 2nd link I posted above proves beyond all doubt you can get anyone to appear in your video if you have enough cocaine to spread around.

Hardly. It was just dumbass. I always found it utterly exasperating that the guy had a wife who still kept herself looking like a hotass tramp out of a rock video and he wouldn’t have anything to do with her. Most men should be so lucky after years of marriage. When Fox first started their network, I thought they had the best series stuff of anyone. They deteriorated. King of the Hill’s ok, though.

My brother looks exactly like Al Bundy. People have come up to him on the street and asked him if he is Al Bundy. I laugh my a$$ of everytime I see it happen.
