Gone Bad
After the show had been on air for a couple of seasons, Christina Applegate turned into a full-fledged star who models, does movies, and also appears in music videos. Navigating the boost in her career was hard for the inexperienced Applegate, who did her best but failed at times. The producers of the show sat down and talked with her a few times and decided that her character Kelly would have time off every now and then so Applegate would get the chance to shoot her other projects which were teen-oriented. The show’s fans didn’t quite approve of this move, and were extremely stubborn about their view.
So Close
Is there anyone you can picture playing Al Bundy aside from Ed O’Neill? Although it is very weird to even consider, apparently, there is some truth to this. Before O’Neill was cast, the producers thought of bringing Michael Richards on board instead. After several trial tapings of the first episode, the show’s producers came to the conclusion that Richards was much too energetic to play the role of Al, and that someone who was a bit more tired and grumpy was who they needed. We are definitely glad they realized this in time. Come to think of it, had Richards been working on Married…With Children, then who would’ve been Kramer?
