Not A Fan
Since the airing of the pilot of Married…With Children, the popular show has received a ton of angry letters as well as complaints. There was no exception. Every character got their fair share when it came to criticisms, but Kelly, Christina Applegate’s character, was the one who actually had to handle the most scrutiny. The main focus of the character was living the life of a flirty teen who dresses like one and acts badly. Had the writers listened to the critics of the show, they would have had to take out the character from the show altogether. There just wasn’t any way they could make a good girl out of Kelly. In the end, the writers opted to ignore what the critics said and carried on as they wanted.

First Episode
While the first episode of the show was being filmed, the producers had so little time they didn’t even include Ed O’Neill, the star of the show, when they cast the roles of his kids, Kelly and Bud. The result: O’Neill couldn’t stand the actors who got the part as his children on the show and said it was either him or them. The producers went into a panic and, in a rush, began the search for new actors. That’s how David Faustino and Christina Applegate got cast. Unlike before, Ed O’Neill got the chance to meet the two before they went onstage. Following the new members’ addition to the cast, episode one had to be shot again from the start, a move which set the production back a lot, yet was proven to be quite a good investment.
