Over two decades have passed since the hit Fox sitcom, "Married with Children" aired its eleventh and final season in 1997. Let's see what the Bundys and the rest of the cast have been up to since.
The award-winning sitcom focused around a women's shoe salesman, Al Bundy, discontented with the miserable life he leads with his lazy wife, a dysfunctional son, and a dim-witted, promiscuous daughter. However, the cast has come a long way since then.

Peg's love for shopping almost became as well known as her tacky 1960s clothing and red bouffant hair. After the sitcom came to an end in 1997, Katey landed roles in "Lost," Boston Legal," "8 Simple Rules," and the sci-fi animation "Futurama" wherein she voiced captain Leela for four years until 2013.
In 2011, Katey won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Gemma in "Sons of Anarchy" which she portrayed for six years from 2008. The actress also published a memoir titled Grace Notes in March 2017.

Apart from the cast's individual successes since "Married with Children," the television comedy in part, became popular due to some of the controversial topics like homosexuality, feminism, and chauvinism addressed in its episodes.
