While flicking channels last night I accidentally watched a few seconds of Married With Children.
I'd almost forgotten how terrible it was.
Anyway, I suddenly realised that the wife/mother in this show is the voice of Leela in Futurama.
I just looked it up and sure enough I am right.
I know no-one cares, but I impressed myself by noticing.

I'm glad you impressed yourself, because you didn't impress me.

What!?
Actually, I used to watch it in spite of myself when I was younger.
It was so lame but there was something about it.

She is also in the ABC 'comedy' 8 simple rules.

It doesn't seem like they tried very hard to alter her character that much...

(from Married With Children, I mean - not Futurama)

That programme was great!! I always used to watch it being repeated on sky when I was younger! I mean Christina Applegate is rather nice and it had quite funny jokes too 🙂 and how you couldnt recognise the voice straight off and had to look it up i dont know lol its so obvious😛🙄

I think that the Simpsons parody of Married With Children sums up the show pretty well - you know the bit where Homer walks in and the audience inexplicably cheers and whoops loudly for 10 seconds... classic!

You still get that on American sit-coms when they have special celebrity guests.
Except that often they are only celebrities in the US, and we in Britain are left thinking "who is he/she? must be someone famous" whilst the audience whoops in delight.

Married With Children is the best comedy show ever. It's right up there with Scrubs.
