Married... with Children

Married... with Children was a sitcom that aired on FOX from 1987 to 1997 that starred Ed O'Niell as would-be football star Al Bundy who is a women's shoes salesman in Chicago, Illinois and Katey Sagal as his lazy wife Peg. The show, much like The Simpsons and Family Guy, made frequent pop culture references. The Muppets were mentioned several times during the show's run.

Episode 1101: The Stepford Peg
At the beginning of the episode, Al and Peg's children, Kelly and Bud come home. Kelly is an actress and Bud is her agent. The two are arguing about a failed audition.

Bud: I do not use Miss Piggy sheets!

Episode 1111: A Bundy Thanksgiving
At the beginning of the episode, Bud is watching (presumably) the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. A Miss Piggy balloon is mentioned being in the parade.

TV: Hey babies, Miss Piggy is always a hit of the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Later, neighbor Jefferson comes in and watches the parade with Bud, he mentions...

Bud: That's nothing. Miss Piggy's dress got caught in a traffic light. I saw everything. Everything.

Episode 1124: How to Marry a Moron
Before Kelly's wedding, she and her fiancé Lonnie sit on the couch looking at each other. Peg comes downstairs to talk to Kelly about the wedding but cannot get Kelly to look away from Lonnie. Peg tricks her into looking away from him.
