Unhappily Ever After/YMMV


  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Jack and Tiffany both qualify.
    • And then there's Mr. Floppy.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Ross became Reese, while Ryan became Murphy.
  • They Copied It, So It Sucks: According to Word of God, despite being so much like Married... with Children, Ron Leavitt (who co-created both shows) said that he'd intended to make Unhappily with more contrast than Married. He admitted that it didn't quite work out like that.
    • To clarify, the series was originally supposed to focus on a family through a divorce. Thing is, by the start of Season 2, Jack and Jennie wound up getting back together - apparently in response to positive reception of Jack.
      • Furthermore, Ron Leavitt created the show as a means to cope with his own divorce; the fact that the show morphed into a Married... with Children clone largely happened by accident once the show turned out to be a hit and decided to reconcile the parents.
