“ ‘Married With Children,’ with its satire on the American middle class,

Huh?

These days, American visitors in Russia could be forgiven for thinking they had stumbled upon some bizarre realm of reruns. Adaptations of two other shows, “Who’s the Boss?” and “The Nanny,” are also popular here.

Oh bugger...

pics of the family? I'm mainly interested if the teenage daughter is as hot as Kelly Bundy.

Wife needs to be Trailer Parked by 10%.

They are gonna get divorced. The name is going to be changed to divorced with children, and Al is going to get his penis set on fire.

"NO MA'AM" should translate, roughly, to "NYET ZHYENA." Anybody with decent Russian want to take a stab at what it will stand for?

[Suentiend]

Well, my Russian's really rusty. What's the polite way to address a woman -- the equivalent of ma'am -- in Russian?

Wait, is it "gospozha"? I seem to remember "gospodin" being "sir" and "gospozha" being teh female equivalent. So -- "N.Y.E.T., G.O.S.P.O.ZH.A"?

Apparently, this is yuppie Married with Children.

[R1king]

I stand corrected. But Al's ties are so... late 1960s.

[R1king]

What did you use before "comrade" was instituted by the commies?

[bonyclayd]

Oh man, I still haven't gotten my NO MA'AM shirt. I really need it!

"Nyet, gospozha" sound like some BDSM talk. "No, my mistress, I am happy to lick this yellow liquid from the floor."

"No, sir" or "no, ma'am" are simply "nyet". Wo not currently have an acceptable term to address a woman. Or a man. "Gospozha" is acceptable when you politely refer to a woman, as in "Ms Brooks will show you where the servers are," but to address a stranger in the street ("Excuse me, ma'am, may I ask you why you are so ugly?") is a bit complicated in the ex-USSR.
Usually, it's just "Prostite, pozhaluysta" ("Excuse me, please"), but if you're chasing a woman who dropped her gloves on the subway train, you might resort to the dreadful to my ear "Zhenshchina!" ("Woman!"). Ew.
And if you call me "gospodin" I'd tell you that all the "gospodin" were hanged on the lamp posts in 1917.
I don't know why we abandoned "tovarishch" ("comrade"). Hey, thanks! That's really interesting (and will be useful if I have to dust off my Russian next year for my job).

[Kolokireo]

That's more like it.

[nicegirlflor]

Get enough East Asians and eventually you'll reconvert to speakin' a polite tongue...

Wasn't he a serial killer?

[DoctorDulitlBest]

OMG, I got it wrong

You mean 'Foreign Devil' not 'Invader Demon'.
