Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt for Fox. Originally broadcast from April 5,
1987, to June 9, 1997, it is the longest-running live-action sitcom ever aired
on Fox. Married... with Children was the first primetime series broadcast on
the new Fox network. The series's run ended with the episode broadcast on May
5, 1997. Two previously unaired episodes were broadcast on June 9, 1997 and
June 18, 2002.
Set in Chicago, the show follows the lives of Al Bundy, a former high school
football player turned hard-luck women's shoe salesman; his lazy wife, Peggy;
their pretty but dim-witted daughter, Kelly; and their smart-aleck son, Bud.
