For a show whose theme song starts off with the word “love,” "Married with Children" didn’t exactly give its characters the most traditional emotional cores, and yet the Bundy family’s bond remained as strong as the one shared by the hit sitcom’s main cast. The same can’t be said for former co-stars Ed O’Neill and Amanda Bearse, however, as tension between the two reached a breaking point when the show was still airing, seemingly without any resolution in the years since. Now, the Al Bundy portrayer has reflected on what he thinks went wrong.

Ed O’Neill, who will next pop up on the small screen playing former Clippers owner Donald Sterling, reunited with his former "Modern Family" son Jesse Tyler Ferguson for the latter’s podcast "Dinner on Me," and you can bet "Married with Children" came up as a topic of conversation. After Ferguson addressed the cast’s palpable chemistry and started to ask another question, O’Neill politely interrupted to spend a minute addressing his previously reported falling out with Bearse.
