The Ellipsis?

When I first took notice of this article's title, what immediately struck me was the random space placed after the ellipsis.  "Why," thought I, "has no one moved this page to Married...with Children, thereby fixing this error?"

No sooner had I had this thought than I took a step back, asking myself an even better question:  "Why, instead, has no one moved this page to Married with Children?  After all, the show's title, as it appears in the actual title sequence, has no ellipsis at all!"

I find this rather perplexing.  How did we collectively get it into our individual minds that there was an ellipsis in the title?  Why did it not dawn on me until today that I never once saw an ellipsis on the actual show?

More to the point, is there any evidence that would suggest that the official title of the show does include an ellipsis?  If not, then I would suggest making a move.

Contrariwise, if there is evidence that suggests that the official title includes an ellipsis, I'd be interested in reading about it.  Indeed, the information may even be worthy to mention in the article.  A short explanation (assuming the ellipsis is part of the official title) explaining why the discrepancy between the official title and the title-as-it-appears-in-the-title-sequence would certainly be within the scope of Wikipedia.

(But, even if we can verify that the ellipsis is part of the official title, we would still need to verify that the space after the ellipsis is also part of the official title.  For, if it is not, then the page ought definitely be moved to Married...with Children.)

A quick Google search revealed several instances where the ellipsis is included, including an occurrence at CNN. The space is also included. I would thus be reluctant to change the current titling without a reliable source providing guidance as to what exactly the title was intended to be. DonIago (talk) 13:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

There was also a previous move discussion that may be worth reviewing. DonIago (talk) 13:29, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Peg's mom

It could be relevant that Peg's mom does appear in the Now Comics adaptation of the show where she's actually seen as basically a fatter, uglier version of Peg with the same hairstyle, only with a white skunk pattern in her hair and warts on her face. --2003:71:4E07:3B48:C894:EEE7:91C5:C349 (talk) 21:07, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
