Hidden ‘Married With Children’ Facts That Will Surprise Fans
The premiere of Married… With Children on the then-brand-new Fox network was a surprise to TV critics and viewers alike. It showed a really dysfunctional family whose members were constantly arguing, laughing at one another, and consumed by greed. There had never been a family like that on TV before. They are quite different from the picture perfect family that sitcoms showed at the time. Married…With Children is a classic everyone remembers and loves. There is a lot more to the show that even die-hard fans weren’t aware of…you won’t believe these hidden facts!
The Episodes Cost A Fortune To Produce
The show appeared to operate on a rather small budget, but it was, in fact, among the most expensive TV shows at the time. Even though there were no special effects that had to be produced, just one of Kelly’s raunchy outfits cost a fortune. In addition, there were always people who got offended by the TV show and some decided to sue, so the fee for this had to be considered. What’s more, the actors had to be paid. Therefore, the show was a big expense for the Fox network.
In Love With Kelly
Christina Applegate is without question the show’s breakaway star. As soon as she made an entrance on screen, the audience was unable to tear their eyes away from her. The outfits might have been part of the reason, but it was mostly Applegate’s wonderful sense of humor, willingness to self parodies and eagerness to do everything she could to make sure the show was a success. The writers and producers of the show actually noticed Applegate’s appeal and talent early on, so they made sure that they gave her screen time to showcase her different talents (which helped the show gather numerous fans during the first few episodes).
