I personally thought the show started to sink with Peggy's pregnancy followed by Seven and No-Mam

Basically, I thought the show was on life support for the half of it's run.

I didn't mind Jefferson. He was better than Steve in ways and I considered the 5th season to be a very good season.

Season 6 had a few good episodes. 7-11 for me were all painful to sit through and pretty much unforgettable sans a few stand alone episodes.

This could probably be it's own thread, but it looks like all the MwC fans are posting comments in this thread, so let me throw out a question:

If Married... with Children had been allowed to produce a finale episode, what would you have wanted to happen in it?

Anybody know what the deal with this episode with Matt LeBlanc in it was? It didn't feature any of the Married with Children stars but somehow I remembered the character mentioned, it looked like an attempt as a spin-off or something

It was for a spin off.

It was for a short lived show called "Top of the Heap".

Seven sucked, but you have to give them credit for the milk carton gag afterwards (Seven was written out of the show without explanation, then a few episodes later somebody mentions something about how it seemed someone was missing. Then there's the zoom-in to the picture of Seven on a milk carton).
It may not have happened exactly like that, but my memory is kinda foggy.

I'm confused, wasn't Divine supposed to play Peggy's Mom before she died? Imdb say he was supposed to play her Uncle. What gives?

You know, when the series first started Al and Peg liked each other more. But as the series went on their sniping at each other grew.
