One of its first flagship shows, Married…With Children premiered on FOX in 1987, bringing a whole new meaning to the idea of family dystopia. Running for eleven seasons until 1997, it ranks among Time Magazine’s 100 best shows of all-time. Sagal played oversexed wife Peg Bundy to O’Neill’s permanently sullen Al Bundy. They were a dystrophic June and Ward Cleaver for the 1990s, bringing in huge ratings for the network. Both Sagal and O’Neill continue to work today—Sagal plays another matriarch on FX’s Sons of Anarchy, while O’Neill heads another family over on ABC’s Modern Family.
