One Million
Although it seemed that the show was running on a budget that was relatively small, it was really quite expensive – more than most TV shows during that time. Sure, Married…With Children didn’t have many special effects that needed to be produced, but spending on one outrageous outfit for the character Kelly could cost production a fortune. On top of that, there is the almost guaranteed fee that is paid to people who took offense to the show and sued as well as the actors’ salaries. The sitcom sure set the Fox network back a lot.
