Ed O’Neill is best known for his role in Modern Family. But this is not his first rodeo. He was best known for his role as Al Bundy on the hit sitcom Married with Children which ran from 1987 to 1997. O’Neill, along with Katey Sagal entered millions of homes and hearts.
Married With Childrenwas known for its ahead-of-the-time jokes. Married with Children reigned in the show only after advertisers stopped supporting it after an episode. They didn’t wish to lose their advertising revenue. You have to purchase the DVD of the show in order to see some unaired episodes.
O’Neill has more luck than other actors who are struggling to regain the fame they once enjoyed. Married With Childrenreruns bring him around $10 million per year. Modern Family, which was just completed, will probably surpass this, making him even more wealthy than he is already.
