David and the other cast members actually do not make very much money from the ongoing syndication of "Married… with Children", despite the fact that the show has generated over a billion dollars in royalties since being syndicated. When asked about the residual situation, David once explained:

"We got really screwed over. I mean, the show 'Married With… Children' was on for 11 years, and we all made really good money while we were doing it. We made great weekly paychecks, but residuals — we all got screwed over because Fox at the time was not a network, it was a cable network, and so it was under a cable contract. So the show 'Married With… Children' has made over a billion dollars, and we didn't really get a piece of that." – David Faustino.
