There could never have been another Al Bundy played by anyone else but Ed... he IS Al Bundy!

Polk High Legend, NO MA‘AM President, and boss of the bowling alley

plz amazon netflix even disney bring him back

My favorite TV dad ever!!! Classic

That's a fabulous movie

He was resigned to the fact that the toilet water was going to get in his rice

I had the perfect balance. I watched Married With Children and The Cosby show.

Thank God for Hirschfeld. awesome casting. Al scored 4 touchdowns in a single game. Love love love Al Bundy

Lol, those of us who grew up in the middle class...( not) all of us knew UNCLE AL.

Ed O Neill deserves lots lots lots more fanfare today. AL Bundy would say so.

“I don’t want to understand women, women understand women and they all hate each other”…..All Bundy

Legend

A far leftist

My bowling team does a "Woa BUNDY!" before we start bowling every week. One year we all wore Polk High 33 jerseys. Al Bundy is a role model for all men.

This show was my complete childhood

The word is "resigned" for god's sake. It's not even my languages guys

"What's for dinner. Hopefully not Buck."

The funniest and greatest show on television history period

One best characters to ever be created

Was he Lenny

So he owes everything to his uncle 👍💪

It was good because he played it straight.

God created this role for Ed O’Neill
Nobody could play this part better or at all

Hes the best and the greatest of comedy

Peg: "Al did you miss me?!"
Al: "With every bullet so far"

🤣 Al Bundy was the best!

Brilliant!

Bring back Married with Children America loves this show!

Crying laughing at the delivery of his uncle's 'whats for dinner'!

That's the same suit Ol dirty Bast ard had at the grammys

And he was also great in a drama role in a Miami Vice episode. This is a real actor, right there.

The best tv show of our generation

Classic legendary Show Legendary😮 and hilarious no one else could be Al Bundy

classic al bundy response to a problem. a glint of what could be if they did a reunion episode. it would great.

the only highlight of his life lol

We grew up with you in Greece in the 90s !!!

Al Bundy is one of those iconic roles that truly, NOBODY else but Ed O'Neill could pull it off. When Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy insulted someone on the show, he absolutely slayed and left no survivors. Truly an icon. Thank you Ed O'Neill for bringing Al Bundy to life like nobody else could. Easily the most hilarious character on the show.

Please reunion episode!Please reunion episode!Please reunion episode!Please reunion episode!Please reunion episode!

Al Bundy was hilarious !! Soundtrack of our lives.

Watching married with children with my dad was our bonding time RIP dad

"Dying is easy, comedy is hard." So very true........versatility is the mark of a great actor. Thanks, Ed! ❤

Peggy's response: Same thing as yesterday...toaster leavins .....IYKYK😂

No one else could’ve played Al Bundy like him no one you go back and you look at these rolls people play and you just don’t picture anyone else being able to do it after they do such a good job

His uncle kinda reminds me of myself at this point in life lol 😂

I used to watch with my parents in high school and always cringed when something racy or sexual came on. Miss those days.

Don’t Tax Beer… IYKYK

As an actor he delivered the very best lines, ever written, and was supported by incredible colleagues, they ALL did a great job, just them pausing, for any audience to laugh, then, the punchline, proper talent.

God bless Ed O'Neill, he brought so many men, esp married heterosexual men, so many laughs and the ability to put up and survive their marriage with children 😁🤣🤣🤣 👏👏
