Does anyone else think this show was a lot like married with children? It was like a modern day version of the sitcom portraying a "white trash" family so to speak with a lot of craziness haha. The kids were always in trouble and the parents were high school graduates with blue collar jobs and didn't pay much attention to the kids lol. Either way, I LOVED both shows! I grew up in the 90s with married with children first, but I kind of like grounded for life better.

Do you mean a married couple with multiple children living in the same home?

Not even close. This is a totally different style of show... Also, Married With Children was actually funny.
