Married with Children is an iconic American sitcom that aired from 1987 to 1997 on Fox, becoming a cultural phenomenon and one of the network’s earliest hits.
What set Married with Children apart was its bold, irreverent humor and willingness to tackle controversial subjects. A sharp contrast to the idealized families of its era, the Bundys offered a refreshingly unfiltered look at middle-class struggles, peppered with sarcasm and slapstick humor. The show became a pioneer in pushing boundaries for sitcoms, earning both critical acclaim and criticism for its unapologetic content.
Teri Weigel’s Memorable Guest Appearance
Teri Weigel, a former Playboy Playmate and actress, made a notable guest appearance in the fourth-season episode titled “Buck Saves the Day,” which aired in 1989. Weigel played a character named Jade, one of the attractive women Al Bundy and his friends ogle at during a poker game. Her brief but striking performance added to the show’s hallmark of blending humor with its signature cheeky, risqué undertones.
