This is a list of episodes for the sixth season (1991–92) of the television series Married... with Children. The season aired on Fox from September 8, 1991 to May 17, 1992.
Following his marriage to Marcy after a drunken encounter, Jefferson D'Arcy (Ted McGinley) is promoted to series regular. Throughout the season, both Peg and Marcy were pregnant, as Katey Sagal was pregnant in real life. Sagal's child was stillborn six weeks before term, causing her to miss four episodes of this season. At the end of the season's 11th episode,
"Al Bundy, Shoe Dick", the women's pregnancies were revealed to be merely part of one of Al's nightmares.{{cite web |last=Andreas |first=Carl |title=FAQ |publisher=Bundyology |date=December 3, 2006 |url=http://www.bundyology.com/faq.html |accessdate=2007-09-09}} This season also had Steve Rhoades return for one episode, Kelly become the "Verminator", and the Bundys travel to England.{{cite web|last=Andreas|first=Carl|title=Changes throughout the Seasons|publisher=Bundyology|date=April 10, 2001|url=http://www.bundyology.com/changes.html |accessdate=2007-09-09}} Additionally, this season introduced Bud's hip-hop-inspired alter ego "Grandmaster B", concocted to help him with women, which continued after the dream revelation by having Al ask Bud about the nickname and Bud deciding that he likes it enough to use it.
Amanda Bearse and Ted McGinley both were absent for two episodes.
This was the final season for Ron Leavitt and Michael G. Moye as joint showrunners; Leavitt served as sole showrunner for the following season before leaving the show altogether thereafter.

|ShortSummary=Part one of three. In the 17th century, a witch curses a British town called Lower Uncton to be forever shrouded in darkness after a Bundy ancestor insults her, and the only way for the curse to be broken is to kill all living male Bundy descendants by luring them to Lower Uncton. In the present day, the Bundys win a free trip to the United Kingdom. Marcy and Jefferson learn about this and decide to tag along, but they lose their luggage at London Heathrow Airport. The Bundys were invited to Britain by Winston and Igor, two Lower Uncton residents, to lure them to their village so they can kill both Al and Bud to lift the 339-year-old curse, but the residents of the neighboring town of Upper Uncton, under the command of the mayor Trevor, plot to kill Al and Bud in London to ensure that the purgatory curse over Lower Uncton never gets broken, which would ruin Upper Uncton's tourist town reputation.

Meanwhile, broke and lost Marcy and Jefferson end up in a London S&M club, which they mistake for a theater.
