The original pilot was taped on December 12, 1986. The producers were not happy with the original child actors Tina Caspary (as Kelly) and Hunter Carson (as Bud). They recast the roles and all the scenes with the Bundy kids had to be reshot.

Married... with Children had been off the air for six years but now, original cast members Ed O'Neill, Katey Sagal, David Garrison, Amanda Bearse, Christina Applegate, David Faustino and Ted McGinley reunite in the set of the Bundy's home and share memories from working on the show.
A look at the over-the-top and controversial sitcom about a dysfunctional Chicago family that lasted 11 seasons on TV. The crude antics of the family's disgruntled father Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill), his tacky wife Peg (Katey Sagal), his ditzy daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate), and girl-chasing son Bud (David Faustino) delighted some viewers and offended others. The show was a huge departure from the picture-perfect families viewers often saw on television, but even as it ruffled feathers, the show represented a more realistic picture of the everyday problems that Americans were dealing with in the late 80s and 90s.
This version of E! True Hollywood Story reflects on the rebald sitcom "Married... with Children". Interviewed are the creators Ron Leavitt and Michael G. Moye who talk about how they worried about pushing the envelope and how the network Fox had just been created in 1986 and how two different people originally received the roles for Kelly and Bud but they didn't work out so they got Christina Applegate and David Faustino. Also discussed is the episode where Steve and Al hunt for a bra for Peg and a whiny female viewer of the episode was offended. Also discussed was the episode "I'll See You in Court" that was not allowed to air because of it's explicit content. The cast is also interviewed, and recall how they were oblivious to the fact that Married... with Children was cancelled in 1997 and they discuss a final episode they would've liked to do.
