The name Marcy D'Arcy is a play on Executive Producer of The Cosby Show (1984), Marcy Carsey. The working title for "Married With Children" was "Not The Cosbys".

Many of the original producers later collaborated on the WB series Unhappily Ever After (1995), which bore many similarities to MWC.

The last episode aired on May 6, 1997, on Fox TV. After that episode aired, Fox was trying to decide whether to renew the show. When they decided to cancel it, they didn't notify the cast. Ed O'Neill said he was on vacation and a couple staying near him read about the cancellation in the newspaper and told him about it. He bought them a meal in appreciation. In a similar vein, Christina Applegate learned of the show's cancellation from two friends of hers.

Minister: Do you, Al Bundy, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? Al: Do I look that stupid to you?

Al: [doorbell rings] Peg, could you get that? It's probably the 'Homeless: It Could Be Worse' Tour.

Al: Women should have three breasts - two in front and one in the back for dancing.
