The last episode aired on May 6, 1997, on Fox TV. After that episode aired, Fox was trying to decide whether to renew the show. When they decided to cancel it, they didn't notify the cast. Ed O'Neill said he was on vacation and a couple staying near him read about the cancellation in the newspaper and told him about it. He bought them a meal in appreciation. In a similar vein, Christina Applegate learned of the show's cancellation from two friends of hers.

# According to Michael G. Moye, the name Bundy came from (at the time) well-known World Wrestling Federation villain King Kong Bundy, who had challenged Hulk Hogan for the World Title at Wrestlemania II. He later made an appearance as one of Peg's hillbilly cousins. The name "Bundy" did not came from infamous serial killer Ted Bundy. King Kong Bundy also appears in a later episode as himself, wrestling Bud in a match on a televised wrestling show called "Wrestlepalooza". Bud ends up there because Al has asked him to get King Kong's autograph. Bud is trying to become a member of "NO MA'AM", so his task to gain membership is to get the autograph from King Kong Bundy.
