Trivia: When Fox decided not to renew the show for another season, both Ed O'Neill (Al) and Christina Applegate (Kelly) heard about it from friends of theirs, instead of being informed by Fox.

Trivia: Writers Michael Moye and Ron Leavitt wanted the show to be a refreshing change from other family sitcoms at the time. They felt that too many shows featured "idealized" families who presented a proper, respectable image, and rarely struggled with money. By contrast, the Bundys would be inconsiderate, financially unstable, inappropriate, and lazy.

Trivia: A few spin-off shows were proposed. One involved Steve Rhoades being the dean at Bud Bundy's college. Another would be similar to "Friends", involving people who all knew Kelly Bundy. Christina Applegate also rejected another spin-off about Kelly. Yet another show would have been about members of the "NO MA'AM" organization, but Fox decided it was too risky.

Revealing mistake: When the mall Santa lands in the Bundys' back yard, everybody looks toward the back, and when Al looks forward, he cracks a smile although he's upset about the matter. Ed O'Neil admitted he couldn't contain his laughter.

Al Bundy: "I Care", by Al Bundy. When hooters jiggle around and I find nickels on the ground, I care. When a Mustang engine purrs and the bathroom is not hers, I care. When the pitchers on the mound and the wife is underground, I care. But when I've been playing this for days, I will kill anyone who stays, I SWEAR!

More quotes from Married... with Children

Answer: It's implied that Steve filed for divorce since in s04e16, "You Gotta Know When to Hold 'Em", Marcy says that Steve is suing for alimony. Alimony is something that has to be requested when filing for divorce. Although the show doesn't spend time on the actual legal proceedings of their divorce.
