Reasons Married With Children Wouldn’t Survive On TV Today

When I was a kid, I would watch “Married with Children” until I reached a catatonic state. I was obsessed. But today – only 20 years later – it seems like characters like Al Bundy and company would be kicked off the air after making one of their many politically incorrect jokes.

Would Al Bundy survive today’s scandal-obsessed world? Are you insane? Here are a few reasons he’d be booted faster than you can say “No Ma’am.”

1. Fat-shaming.
