Married... with Children

Married... with Children, created by Moye and Leavitt in 1987 for the Fox network, was called an "anti-family" series,^[2] but immediately became a hit, running for eleven seasons and being credited with keeping the fledgling Fox network "in the black for five or six years."^[3] Moye was a producer and a writer on the show for most of its run, and had a hand in writing a series-leading 25 episodes^[4] as well as having a few cameo appearances on screen.^[5]

Personal life

Moye retired from television in 1995 and is now a photographer as well as an avid coral reef aquarium hobbyist.^[1][6] He has two children from two marriages.^[1]
