Love & Marriage 3
Married...With Children began its third season in October 1988 due to a writers' strike during the late summer and early fall that year. Previously,writers went on strike seven years earlier. FOX had a few other hit shows in 1988 as well,the others being 21 JUMP STREET,THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW and DUET(DUET's last season was 1988-89). The MWC changes this season include Peggy Bundy's(Katey Sagal) hair color changed from black to auburn,Bud(David Faustino) sporting a mullet(that hairstyle was in fashion in '88-'89),bleached blonde Kelly(Christina Applegate) with longer hair and more hip clothing,also Marcy Rhoades(Amanda Bearse) with a different hair color. This would be the last full season for David Garrison who is Marcy's husband Steve Rhoades. Memorable highlights from this season include Elvis Presley lookalikes,a day at the beach,the Bundys purchasing a computer which Al Bundy(Ed O'Neill) would destroy in the closing scene of one episode,Kelly cheerleading(on a trial basis) at a Polk High School football game and Marcy being looked at by a "peeping tom".
