Some Were Not Fans Of Kelly
Since the airing of Married… With Children’s pilot episode, the show has received TONS of complaints and angry letters. When it comes to criticism, all of the characters on the show had their fair share, but it was Kelly, Christina Applegate’s character, who had a lot of make-or-break moments to deal with. Kelly’s main focus was being a flirty teenager, dressing how she wanted to, and acting badly. Had the writers chosen to listen to the show’s critics, the character would have been cut from the show altogether. There was basically no way to make Kelly a good girl. In the end, the show’s writers chose not to listen to the criticism and opted to continue with the original stories they had in mind for Kelly.

When they were filming the pilot episode of the show, the producers were really pressed for time, so they cast actors to play Bud and Kelly despite not bringing into the mix the star of the show, Ed O’Neil. The result: Ed O’Neil hated the actors that played his TV kids and said it was either them or him. The show’s producers got into a panic and set out to cast new actors hurriedly. That is how David Faustino and Christina Applegate landed their respective roles. This time, Ed O’Neil got the chance to meet the two before they went onstage. Since there were new kids added, they had to film the first episode once again, a move which surely set the production back, but had proven to be a really good investment.
