“Years ago there was a Married With Children rip-off called Unhappily Ever After. The only good thing about it was the stunning Nikki Cox”

Actually This show was even based on a earlier rip off of married with children that was one of those syndicated comdies that the indie networks ran

except the first ripoff didnt have the puppet thing and the dad was a doctor of somekind The mom was the exact same actress tho

Whats even more ironic is the guy that created unhappily was one of the original creators of maried with children ron levitt
