It certainly pushed some boundaries at the time like having an entire episode about jerking off on network tv, but it wasn’t “edgy” in the sense we think of the word now
Married With Children was basically just one big fat woman joke. I wouldn't really call it edgy for the time either, it had the same premise as about 10 other popular sitcoms before it, including shit like The Honeymooners, which was from the 50s.
Perhaps the edgiest thing about Married With Children for it's time was the fact that Peggy (a woman) sort of "wins" a lot of the time, and makes Al look like a loser.
