I was always sad that MWC didn't get a proper finale. It needs a Netflix revival (yeah I know it'd be terrible, but still).

My favourite episode is when Al is building his own bathroom and buys the toilet of his dreams. I just love when he's happy and enthusiastic about some stupid thing. Plus, the more toilet jokes in an episode the better.

Ed O'Neil was beyond perfect for this role. His physical comedy/body language were hilarious and his whimpering (like when the tarantula crawls on him) is funny when it shouldn't be.

The episode where Steve and Al's fishing trip is ruined by the families tagging along is on TBS right now. It's the one where Peggy, Marcy and Kelly's periods all sync up.

I love Al's note to Peg:
"by the time you read this note, I'll be gone. I've been called away on an emergency fishing trip. I wouldn't be surprised if you plan up the kids and leave me. If you do, please take the dog with you. Al"

Thanks to this thread is got a new appreciation of them, and found myself actually sitting down to watch them this morning.

I like it when the family all makes fun of Al together for having a job and supporting them.

Peggy: We appreciate what you do for this family.

Then they pause and bust out laughing.


Another time when Peggy, Bud, Kelly, and recently fired Steve got back from the zoo.
Peggy: Hi, honey. Oh Al, we had such a great day. Steve took us all to the zoo. And Al, it was the best time to go. No lines or anything, because, you know, during the day all the idiots who have jobs can't go.

Then they all point and laugh at Al.

First, I apologize for the rather 'interesting' use of the English language. We were kind of on the sauce. Lots of it.

I will let him know, next time I see him. I told him about your thread, and he seemed flattered. He likes that people see Griff as the underdog among underdogs.

Anyway :


It actually has done him alright. He's just not really a 'car' guy. As long as it works, he really couldn't care less about it. He invests in stuff, like my bar, for insatnce, and also independent films, and is very active in the LA area black acting community.


He enjoyed working on the show, and appreciates the opportunities it gave him. He liked the dark humor of the show, and the opportunity to play that part.

His favorite non-Griff character that he's played? Or on MWC Cast?

If you mean as an actor, I bet it would be Perryman (Officer and a Gentleman)

On the show, probably Seven.
(I don't know, but I'll ask him next time I see him)

And we took a picture for ya. Sorry I look like a total corndog. Like I said, we were pretty smashed.



Please ask him if in the scenes they were drinking beer, were they actually drinking beer.

My dad used to tell me they aren't allowed to but I could never find anything that said that was true. I always assumed they were actually drinking beer. At least that's what I wanted to believe :allears:

There's an episode where Peggy takes up dancing and goes by herself and hits it off with a dude but the dude is gay and his husband (played by Dan HoweverYouSpellHisName) goes to Al to try and get his husband back.

Naturally as soon as Al hears Dan cooks and cleans, he wants to marry him.

Yeah, the Tulane thing is correct, and he was a huge presence on the show, the eps that he was in... For me, bias aside, that era is peak MWC.

And Harold is very Grifflike IRL, a pretty happy guy, just chugging along making a time of it. He's very intelligent, his speaking voice and tone is exactly Griff.

I don't think he would have much interest in our humble forums (or any forums/social media for that matter.) I don't think I've ever seen him post to his Facebook, come to think of it.

Hey does anyone else besides me remember the commercial for the Married With Children movie? It was at the beginning of some VHS tape I had. Maybe one of the Ninja Turtles tapes or The Simpsons when they actually had VHS releases of the show? I can't find it anywhere online. It was just the family sitting in front of a TV with an announcer talking about the upcoming Married With Children movie.

I could be making this up in my head but I think they simply used the movie script for the three part London episode.

Summary:
Al pays the bills in a way that only Al can. Surprisingly, his cost-cutting measures meet with less than complete cooperation from his family.

Centripetal Horse says:
The Bundys' brokeness is probably the single most common theme in episodes of Married... with Children, but somehow it never gets old. Although it has come up in previous episodes, this is the first episode where Al's meager income, and the family's complete lack of spending discipline, is put on display as a major theme.

Although Al is certainly the victim in his family's financial games, this episode shows his obvliviousness to his own contributions to the problem. When he asks what the family can do without, Peggy suggests they can do without Al's $75 glow-in-the-dark tackle box.

Notable occurrences:
This is the first episode where Marcy directly mock's Al's pay. This is also the first significant sign we get of the disdain Marcy has for the underclass, despite her outward projection of being an enlightened and caring liberal.

Although the Bundys have previously sown minor discord in the Rhoades' marriage, this is the first time we see Al and Peggy engaging in an all-our war of manipulation against the Rhoadeses for their own gain. In this particular case, Al and Peggy are also warring against each other.

Peg makes a joke about "the two women who live in the brown house and say they're sisters." I think this line is notable for two reasons. First of all, it's a rare example of a joke on Married... with Children feeling dated. "The secret lesbian couple who lies about their relationship" really doesn't seem to have legs in 2016. Second, addressing homosexuality head-on becomes something of a theme on this show. There is an episode where Al bonds with a gay man who is a better wife than Peg ever was, and another very obvious "we're teaching you a lesson, here" episode where Amanda Bearse, who is gay, plays Marcy's gay cousin.

The dude Peggy teams up with is Sam McMurray, who worked with Dan Castellaneta and Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson) on the Tracey Ullman Show.

The face Peggy makes when she tells Al that she could have Sam and that he's sexier than Al, to which Al tells her he's gay is priceless.

In fact, Al calls Sam, "a homo," which is definitely going into "notable occurrences" when we get there.

I remember the guys on the show going to a fancy salón and getting jherri curls and poo poo.

They get too froufrou so Al suggests they pop off a fire hydrant and "Wash the Gay away". Dunno why that's always stuck with me.

There's something about O'Neil's look that's perfect for Al. Downtrodden. Deeply set eyes cast in shadow. Strong nose that's pronounced but somehow looks smushed against his features. Tan, baked bean teeth that form a goblin-like smile of insanity and hopelessness. It's utterly mesmerizing.

Never on a hot set. Off hours or even on the lot, sure but never on set. Stages are very closely monitored ESPECIALLY if minors are working. But the beer in their cans was usually sparkling water. Provided, incidentally by a beer bottling company specifically as props - so as to get the "pssht" carbonation sound when opened. But totally non alcoholic (funnily enough I learned this from working for the red Cross during the aftermath of the 94 Northridge quake - the first few days cases of canned 'prop' water were donated to the shelter at Santa Monica College)
