It was with some trepidation that I returned to Married…With Children<\/em>. It\u2019s a show that I watched quite a bit when I was a kid, in the early 1990s, when I was arguably too young for it. Married\u2026With Children<\/em> felt like a door into being older than I was in a way I wanted, kind of like hanging out with my older brother and his friends. The jokes were often crass, and the whole thing was rough around the edges, but at the time something about this felt subversive.<\/p>\n
I wondered if that would be the case watching the show again now, as I really haven\u2019t seen it since those days when it was airing, and didn\u2019t even keep up with it until the end. In some ways the high school version of myself already viewed the humor provided by the Bundys as too juvenile, or something like that, even as I\u2019d become a big fan of South Park<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
