10 Greatest Unspoken TV Plot Points

8. Seven Became A Missing Child - Married With Children

In Season 7 of Married with Children, Peggy's cousin drops off her son, Seven, forcing the Bundys to take him in. This decision was made by the studio in a vain attempt to spice up the drama. But since the comedic banter between the main cast was set in stone by this point, Seven felt out of place in every scene. Almost immediately, this cute little kid became the most hated character on the show.

When the creators realised they were on the verge of jumping the shark, they wisely decided to remove the character in the following season. Due to his disappearance, fans naturally assumed Seven was reunited with Peggy's cousins.

But in S8E22, Ride Scare, Seven's face appears on the Bundy's milk carton with the words "MISSING" written above. Sadly, the Bundys don't notice (or care) so Seven's disappearance is never officially addressed. So, what happened? Was he kicked out? Did he go back to his parents and they left him again? Did he run away? Was he ever found? If Married with Children wasn't abruptly cancelled, maybe some of these questions would've been answered.
