    Hello Gents! My wife an I are avid Netflix show watchers- watching shows from episode 1-100 for many shows like Star Trek, and Married With Children. Well last night we watched National Lampoons Vacation just for some good'ol laughs and good O'l wagon moments and noticed that part of the scene in Chicago when the Wagon Queen Family Truckster was merging onto the freeway- was the exact same shot you can see in the first seasons into of Married with Children. If this is already a well known fact- please forgive my ignorance. But if not? Its a fun movie factoid! Here are the screens I took last night.

    I watch Married With Children daily and always thought this was the case.

    I thought so as well at first- but never was it more clear when you watch the movie right after you've seen the shows :)
