Married… With Children
The show was criticized for its countless dirty jokes and risque storylines, as well as for the piggish tendencies of Al Bundy (Ed O’Neill) and the portrayal of Peggy Bundy (Katey Segal) as lazy and selfish.
OK, but Married… With Children has aged very well as a sendup of saccharine-sweet sitcoms. It knew exactly what is was doing, and never endorsed or asked us to sympathize with the Bundys — who shared a name, after all, with a serial killer.
