Richard Gurman, renowned TV producer and author of Married with Children vs. the World, shares the inside scoop on the hit sitcom that redefined TV comedy. Gurman recounts the behind-the-scenes challenges and triumphs that made Married with Children a cultural game-changer, from casting battles with Fox executives to navigating controversy and censorship. He reflects on how the show’s offbeat humor and rebellious spirit captured a generation, ultimately reshaping how TV networks approached comedy.

As the showrunner, Gurman also reveals key stories about working with iconic actors like Ed O'Neill, Katey Sagal, and Christina Applegate, while delving into the show's broader cultural impact and legacy. With a career spanning legendary sitcoms like Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and The Facts of Life, Gurman offers a behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of network television.

 

Episode Highlights:

  • Casting drama: The battle to cast Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy and how network executives almost derailed the show's start.
  • Creating edgy TV: How Married with Children was designed to break every TV sitcom rule, pushing boundaries with irreverent humor.
  • Behind the scenes of controversial episodes: From killing Santa Claus to vibrator jokes, the show sparked protests that ultimately boosted its popularity.
  • The Terry Rakolta incident: How a Michigan housewife’s outrage led to national attention, saving the show from cancellation.
  • The show's cultural impact: How Married with Children became the blueprint for unconventional sitcoms and gave rise to more edgy, non-traditional family shows.
  • Recasting the kids: The story behind Christina Applegate and David Faustino taking over the roles of Kelly and Bud after a rough pilot.

28 Jun 2021Mark Farner's American Band00:51:45

Mark Farner was an original member of Grand Funk Railroad. The band rose to one of the largest in the world only to realize their manager completely screwed them. Grand Funk rebuilt and eventually Mark's bandmates used deceptive practices as greed crept in to remove him from the band. Mark shares that story and rebuilding as a solo artist.

Mark was the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad repeatedly to the top of the charts, and today he’s a platinum recording artist 30 times over. We discuss Grand Funk's roots in Flint, Michigan, forming the band, exploding on the scene at the 1969 Atlanta Pop Festival, opening for Led Zepplin, outselling the Beatles, legal troubles with Grand Funk's manager Terry Knight, creating hit after hit, and the break up of the band. We also discuss Mark's amazing new DVD 'From Chile with Love' and what's down the road for Mark Farner.
