The Original Premise of the Show - And How Kelly Bundy Was Portrayed

Okay, i'm gonna make two points: One about the initial themes, and the other about Kelly Bundy. Would love to hear comments.

I started to watch the show again after so many years, and what strikes me is how different the initial message of the show was. The striking difference between a typical family of many years of marriage with children and a newly wed, fresh one. How years of grinding for low-pay, repetitive job, everyday household tasks and struggles wears down love, passion, joy and excitement. That was the comedic, satirical message of this. From the over excited, thrilled-to-be-together Rhoades couple, to the shoe store buddy with an exaggerated life of a don juan, it is all there to contrast their married, routine life. Before they were "the Bundys!", they were (more of less) a regular family, just a tired one, like everyone else. Then they became a very extreme group of selfish bullies who stay together out of necessity. There is literally no one else like them in the show's universe.

Now, Kelly Bundy. In the first season(s), there is no hint of a hilariously stupid, over-flirtatious girl the later seasons make her out to be. In fact, she seems to be a pretty smart and socially aware adolescent girl. She is on her rebel ages, and that 80s punk vibe is also there to contrast the 60s-70s vibe of american family life Al and Peggy is supposedly coming from. She has spot-on remarks about people, and she usually reads the situation much better than her parents. Later on, the exaggerated remarks of a prepubescent brother was taken literally, and Kelly was made into an oblivious, oversexed bimbo, which, looking back now, is a transformation i struggle to find believable.

I'd like to know what anyone else thinks.
