So in my recent purge of the garage at my home here in LA, I came across a box with this little treasure… the official MWC cast & crew bowling shirt…that belonged to my REAL mom, Kay. (of course I couldn’t find my own lol)
The Married W/ Children cast and crew were always very much into bowling. We sometimes would go bowling after the show, or after taping, and had a couple wrap parties there as well (that were WILD, especially in the early days of the show) at a local bowling alley that at the time was called the Sports Center, next to the old Jerry’s deli on Ventura Boulevard. It was quite the scene and a lot of folks would end up there after a night at the bar. It was a ton of fun. And on Friday nights after we taped the show we would take over a few lanes and have a blast with the cast & crew I think this obsession originated from Ron Leavitt, the co-creator of the show, who was super into bowling, and it just kind of trickled down to the rest of us, hence a lot of the references to bowling and that awesome special episode we did where we went to bowl against the other family 😂. I have to rewatch the episode. But this bowling shirt is in the same colors that I believe we wore in that episode, and the Producers made these replica shirts but with the Married W/ Children logo on the back for the Cast and crew. I have a lot of fond memories of going there even as young as when my mom would still come with me ha ha… And it went on into my late teens an early 20s that I would still frequent that bowling alley. I think it’s called PINZ now. So thankful that I came across this though so I can fold it in a box and have my children find it when I’m dead and gone and throw it away. Whoa Bundy! 🎳
