Katey Sagal | Then
Katey Sagal took on the role of matriarch of the Bundy family, who did not really like doing her household chores. Since she never cooked or cleaned and often treated her husband poorly, Peggy was certainly not a ‘typical housewife.’
Katey Sagal | Then
Due largely to her sassy attitude and hysteric antics, Peggy was still the favorite of many show fans. You could always find Peggy sitting on the couch watching her favorite talk show with a box of chocolates.
Katey Sagal | Now

Denise Richards | Then
On Married…With Children, Denise Richards had a small role, so small that no name was given to her character. In the episode titled” Kelly Does Hollywood: Part 2,” Richards took on the role of girl# 2. It’s unfortunate, but people still knew her for her pretty face.
Denise Richards | Then
The Bundy family heads down to California in this episode so Kelly can get a chance to pursue an entertainment career. When she appeared in the episode, Richards was only 20 years old and, although she was only featured briefly, she went on to have a successful career.

David Garrison | Then
Steve was known to have taken swift justice on the high school bullies who came to his bank to ask for loans. Seeing as Garrison had decided to terminate his contract with the show, Steve and Mary had legally separated.

Matt LeBlanc | Then
As one of Kelly’s boyfriends, Matt Leblanc was a recurring character named Vinnie Verducci on MWC. As Vinnie was very good looking and did not have too much going on in his brain, the two were perfect for each other.
Matt LeBlanc | Then
The show’s success was so great that LeBlanc starred in two spin-offs that the creators tried to make, but both were ultimately canceled. However, as his biggest role was right around the corner, LeBlanc shouldn’t be too disappointed.
Matt LeBlanc | Now
In 1991, LeBlanc started appearing on MWC, but when he was cast as Joey on Friends in 1994, he had a big break. For ten years, LeBlanc played a famous role, and after that, he was given his own spin-off show, Joey.

On MWC, Bell played the character of Bob Rooney. Bob was a high school friend of Al’s, and the two were former football teammates. Bob was a butcher, and he was married to Peggy’s friend, who is Louise.

Ed O’Neill | Then
Ed O’Neill played the reclusive patriarch of the Bundy family on MWC. Bundy was sort of a doofus and not a good father or husband, unlike other television fathers of the past who were responsible and level-headed. Despite his surly demeanor, he clearly still cares for his family.
Ed O’Neill | Then
Bundy was a shoe salesman, constantly reliving the glory days of his football career in high school. O’Neill’s portrayal of Bundy led him to win TV Land’s innovator award, and he was a two-time Golden Globe nominee. That’s just amazing!
