How Ed O'Neill Helped Christina Applegate Snag Her Role In Married... With Children

When Fox had found their Al and Peggy Bundy, they decided to cast Tina Caspary and Hunter Carson as Kelly and Bud Bundy (via Vulture). Before Caspary got the role, she starred in "Annie" as a dancer, "Growing Pains" as Jamie, and the TV movie "News at Eleven" (via IMDb). She also played Barbara in the teen rom-com "Can't Buy Me Love" with Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson. As for Carson, he'd had roles in "Paris, Texas," "Invaders from Mars," and "Faerie Tale Theatre" (via IMDb).

Like the unaired "Full House" pilot with John Posey, there's also an unaired pilot of Caspary and Carson as the Bundy kids (via YouTube). For those familiar with the actual pilot of "Married... With Children," the initial one plays out exactly the same – Bud sneaking up behind Kelly and pretending to kill her (via YouTube). Comparing the two side by side, you can really see a difference in chemistry – not only between Kelly and Bud but with Peggy, too.
