Christina Applegate and Katey Sagal recall 'cynical' vibe on 'Married... With Children' set: 'Somebody's gonna talk s--- on you'
The fictional mother-daughter duo debriefed on the 'negativity' on set. With a sitcom as wry as Married... With Children, it's no surprise that the set was just as snarky behind the scenes. Married costars Katey Sagal and Christina Applegate recently spoke about their time working together on Sagal and husband Kurt Sutter's podcast Pie. The Dead to Me actress said she often felt like she didn't belong on the Married set because she wasn't into "sarcasm and s--- talking and negativity." Sagal agreed that there was a "cynical" vibe on set. "We were a sarcastic, cynical bunch," Sagal said. "You weren't safe, really. You turned your back, somebody's gonna talk s--- on you." Applegate recalled a moment when this happened after a scene. She had gone to her dressing room and heard people talking badly about her through a monitor in her trailer. "I was like, 'Wow, I was just there 20 seconds ago,'" she shared. On her own MeSsy podcast, Applegate previously discussed how Sagal was a "safe space" for her in the 11 years Married was on the air. She noted that her TV mom was recently sober when the show began, which was a comfort to Applegate. "You had lived a lot of life and a lot of scarring and things had taken place," Applegate told Sagal. "And now you were on that side of strength. And I needed that. I needed that so badly in my life, a stable person."Married followed the dysfunctional Bundy family including shoe-selling patriarch Al (Ed O'Neill), his lazy wife Peggy (Sagal), teen daughter Kelly (Applegate), and bumbling younger son Bud (David Faustino). Despite the apparent negativity on set, the Married cast has maintained a fond, familial relationship throughout the years. Applegate also had O'Neill on the MeSsy podcast last year and said he practically raised her. 'Years and years of my life spent with this man and he's an incredible actor," she said. "He's an incredible human being.' In 2022, Applegate reunited with Sagal and Faustino when she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

A super sweet flutter-sleeve midi dress to wear to a summer wedding on one day and a Sunday picnic with your besties the next. Promising review: "Opened the package and wore this dress to a shower and a wedding same day. Very comfortable. Love the quality feel of the fabric.

I wore this out to wineries and was super comfortable while also feeling really cute!' —Kate SeifertGet it from Amazon for $23.02+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 21 colors). A drawstring romper that screams casual comfort. It's baggy enough to wear on those boiling hot days when you *don't* want your clothes to touch you, and the drawstring waist brings a little cinching action. Promising review: "This romper is so comfy and lightweight! I can't believe it came from Amazon — it's one of my go-to summer outfits for the Texas weather! The fabric is a lot nicer than I anticipated — definitely just a knit, but it has a nice sheen to it. Happy with this purchase!" —Cynthia LynneGet it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 14 colors). A swing dress so you can spend less time picking out your outfit for your next special occasion and more time on the dance floor. Promising review: "So soft! Fits great! 3rd one I've purchased.

The shoulder ties are adjustable, and the top has a lot of support for girls who are top-heavy, such as myself. The fabric is very breathable and lightweight.

Very happy with the purchase. Straps are adjustable. This fits perfectly." —ECF"These hippie overalls are super comfortable and the best thing to wear on Thursday or Sunday of a music festival!

Just put your phone, lipstick, and keys in one of the pockets! Promising review: "I purchased this as a last-minute dress for a wedding. It was snug above the waist but not snug enough where I was uncomfortable or had no movement. It fit perfectly!! The material is not cheap; it's a nice, soft material, and you can have confidence it won't fall apart in the washer or anything! Love it. I'll probably buy another one in a different pattern." —Liz GarciaGet it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 patterns).

As suggested to order up since meant to have baggy look. I wear L or XL (5'7' 180 lbs) and ordered XL. Just the right amount not to be too baggy. The leather straps are so cute and set them apart from standard overalls. Nice denim material, length perfect and looks great rolled up as well. Recommend them!!" —LoriDGet it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and four colors).
