The Story Behind the Song
Married… with Children is a famous sitcom that first appeared in the US in the late 80s, arriving in the UK in June 1988. It was created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt, who wanted to make a funny show about a family that wasn’t perfect. Instead of the “perfect” families seen on TV before, the Bundy family—Al, Peggy, Kelly, and Bud—were known for being a bit messy and always arguing, which made people love them even more.
The theme song uses the classic tune “Love and Marriage,” originally made famous by Frank Sinatra. It’s a bit of a joke because the song talks about how love and marriage go together perfectly, but the show is all about the funny struggles of Al Bundy and his family life. While the opening has the singing, the end of the show usually features an instrumental version of the tune.
The show was a massive success, running for 11 seasons and filming a total of 259 episodes. It was so popular that it even led to spin-off shows like Top of the Heap. Today, it is remembered as a classic that changed how comedy shows were made, showing that families can be dysfunctional and still be a favorite of millions of fans.
