Premiering on March 8, 2006, Schastlivy Vmeste — or Happy Together — was the Russian adaptation of Married… with Children. Utilizing the same formula as Moya Prekrasnaya Nyanya, the show used the original scripts of the FOX sitcom, translated them, adjusted the jokes and performed them with their own cast of Russian actors.While it stumbled at first, the show would soon become Russia’s hottest comedy.
So successful was the sitcom that they ended up running out of American scripts to adapt and they soon began writing their own. All told, Schastlivy Vmeste ran for 365 episodes — compared to the 259 episodes of Married… with Children — and the show turned its stars into household names in Russia. Most impressively, in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg, where Schastlivy Vmeste takes place, a statue of Gena Bukin — the Russian Al Bundy — now stands in a public square.

I kind of can't stand how Russia and China copy us on many things.
But this actually looks decent. Even though there's no translation I chuckled at the beginning.
Seems to be an overuse of laugh track and "Peggy Bundy" is too active. The real Peggy is way lazier.
What's sad is that Russia can get away with this type of show but we in the US can't do a show like this anymore due to the WOKE revolution.

"What's sad is that Russia can get away with this type of show but we in the US can't do a show like this anymore due to the WOKE revolution."
You are correct sir.
They would think it was fat shaming now.
No more, "Whooooooo!" whenever Kelly first made her entrance and she would still be blond but smart.
Maybe an Amish kid they adopted so that she would be all covered up.
Peggy would no longer be a bimbo either.
Probably a sassy black woman since that stereotype is still acceptable.
Or it was as recently as Mike & Molly.
Bud would no longer be perverted and only trying to score with hot chicks.
He would settle for ones that were overweight, ugly or perhaps even a Jerry's Kid but no jokes at her expense.
The only thing that would not change is Al so that we can keep on making fun and laughing at the dumb, sexist white man.
Although tons of his comments would get the PC treatment.

Video no longer working. But I did find this one:
Al Bundy seems to be cast well, the actor really reminds me of Ed.
Wondering if the Russian Kelly is as hot as Applegate. Great so see this on Russian TV. Russia is a great country. Putin is da man!
