I forget but wasn't the Sinatra song on the first couple seasons or so released by Sony before they cheaped out and went with a knock off instrumental version?

Don't remember. I do remember the short stint that MWC was on Netflix years ago also just had the bogus instrumental.

First Season. That theme they went with after was ridiculous.

This really can't be overstated. I almost always hate the kid characters on what should be essentially a show for adults. But Bud and Kelly completely held their own and did not ruin the show at all. In fact Kelly had some of my favorite lines - usually when ripping on Bud.

Perhaps my favorite Al/Steve moment (50 second mark):

Re: Married...With Children is 30

As a kid, I really loved the Jefferson season's best.. the wacky hooter chasing fun of it.

When I rewatched some Jefferson eps a few years ago tho.. I found myself thinking it to be too silly.
I did however really enjoy the Steve seasons. The first season itself was charming, which as a kid I would've found mind numbingly boring.

No, they're all uncut. They even have the "unaired" episode in which Al and Peg get taken to court for stealing cable? I think there's a scrambled porn gag in there somewhere.

There are end tags missing, that have credits over them, in a few episodes...

Re: Married...With Children is 30

I've been rewatching this

The show was in it's prime series 4 to 6 for sure. From Series 7 onwards it was on the decline. Series 1 to 3 were a bit different with Steve instead of Ted Mcginley and the kids were younger

Some truly hot ass women as guest stars. Bobbi Brown as the girl in the supermarket Al drops things to bend over being the stand out

Was really worn out by series 9, 10 and 11. The excessive crowd noise was just desperate

What fact did Kelly learn that made her forget her dad's football achievement and lose the trivia contest?

Kelly: Hey, my buzzer didn't work.

Host: You've gotta squeeze the buzzer, Kelly. Don't jerk it.

Kelly: Thanks, I learned something.

Al: Oh, no, Peg. He put a thought into Kelly's head. That means she lost a fact.
