Married with Children, despite last airing almost 20 years ago, seemed to have uncanny predicted Bruce Jenner’s gender transition from male to female.
The show, which ran from 1987 to 1997 on Fox, was about Al Bundy, a petulant husband, father and shoe salesman, his sex-crazed wife, Peggy, their not-so-bright daughter, Kelly, and their son, Bud.
During a 1997 episode, two men approached Marcy (Bundy’s neighbor and leader of an anti-man support group F.A.N.G. – Feminists Against Neanderthal Guys) and mistook her for Olympian.
Asking, “Aren’t you Bruce Jenner?”
The scene was a part of the episode titled “Torch Song Duet,” and took place at Al’s workplace, Gary’s Shoes – where a radio contest was going on to see who would get to carry the Olympic torch through the city.
Jenner publicly announced his transition from male to female last April after months of speculation about his changing appearance.
Seriously, how did they know?
