Salute 
The Bundy family is celebrating a huge birthday. "Married... With Children" aired its series premiere on Sunday, April 5, 1987 and lasted 11 seasons. It became a pop culture icon, starring Christina Applegate, David Faustino, Ed O'Neill and Katey Sagal. Here are some fun facts on its 30th anniversary, with the help of the show's IMDb trivia page.
2. The opening credits for the show’s first four seasons included stock footage of highways, and one familiar family car. The Griswold station wagon is briefly glimpsed in a shot re-purposed from the Chevy Chase comedy “Vacation.”
5. Because the show was canceled due to plummeting ratings and stars’ soaring salaries, producers were not given time to craft a series finale that wrapped up the Bundy family’s story.
7. In the ultimate troll/tribute, when Ed O’Neill got his Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2011, it was perfectly placed in front of a shoe store.
13. Ed O’Neill became so synonymous with Al Bundy that he had to be cut from a war film because audiences laughed whenever he was on screen.
