Ralph Hurley posted:My favorite thing on MwC was when the Bundys would temporarily stop putting each other down and come together as a family to whoop rear end. Fighting was like the Bundy superpower that would activate if anyone else tried to give them poo poo. "Where you can't touch a breast, but you can cave in a chest. Where the beer gives you gas, but the Bundys kick rear end... at the nudie bar."

Snowglobe of Doom posted:For comparison, Ron Leavitt, one of the co-creators of Married With Children, went on to create a similar show called Unhappily Ever After where everyone was much more clearly a lovely jaded rear end in a top hat. That show was mean. Also the husband was insane and had a toy stuffed rabbit which would talk to him (voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait) which no one else could hear I remember catching a couple episodes of that back in the day and it was awful.

BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:That show somehow lasted 100 episodes I was going to credit that to the audience wanting to leer at Nikki Cox, but she was also in Norm Macdonald's sitcom and that lasted way less. Modal Auxiliary posted:I always so felt bad for Geoff Pierson, who was an incredibly talented character actor clearly doing his absolute best to carry a smoldering turd of a show. Had to remind myself that this wasn't the thread for That '80s Show. You're right, he deserved better.

Big rear end On Fire posted:This is another wife gag from before the show the writers were drawing on. Sitting around the house eating bonbons equates to not doing anything. A lot of Peggy's characterization was from a 1950's sitcom wife, including the bonbons, hairstyle, and clothing, which I think Katey Sagal had a lot to do with. The real juxtaposition is in the "It's a Wonderful Life" Christmas episode where Al sees what the family would've been like without having been born, featuring a pre-Jefferson Ted McGinley as the hypothetical successful husband.

I like how for the first like 4 seasons everyone but Peg was constantly on the brink of starvation, like any moment they might start hallucinating Buck was giant hotdog.

Was the Bud College spinoff idea something that they were planning when Seven was introduced a few years earlier or was it something created in response to Friends blowing up when it was released? Also, am I wrong in remembering that Kelly had an episode about going to work for a modeling firm that might have also been a similar backdoor pilot?
