It's time for another selection from our Superdelegate patron tier, and boy, they picked a doozy. On this episode, we shack up with the Bundys and dive into MARRIED... WITH CHILDREN (1987-1997), the raunchy family sitcom that became a flashpoint in the culture war. We discuss the show's bleak worldview, try to make sense of several of the most famous episodes, and discuss how conservative moral-panics like the one that greeted this show have changed in the decades since.

Long time listener, first time commenter. Absolutely love the show, finally on Patreon and working through the exclusive content, and I have the *most* obnoxious comment to make: I’ve now heard a couple of eps in which I think Luke mistakes the Latin “qua” (meaning “person or thing in their capacity as x”) for what should be the conjunction “cum”—as in father-cum-breadwinner. But far more importantly, you guys have really gotten me through the past couple of years and taught me so much about politics/film/cultural criticism generally (and most importantly, the Toronto Garfield restaurant). Thx for all you do!
