I love this show. I used to watch it, all the time, throughout my teen years. I liked the episode, when Kelly Bundy, was doing this TV show, with her two friends. It was about rebellion and putting down your teachers, and there was a joke about Guess Jeans The girls were told to tone it down, just a little, so they got the accordions out, and they were making up songs about chores, books and milk. That was my favourite episode of all time.

Do you like this show?

I love this show too! In fact, it almost became my special interest before I discovered Johnny Depp movies. I like the episode where Al has to work at a gas station because he's in debt to them. The ending part is my favorite. I also like the episode where the Bundys are on vacation, and the people at the hotel are trying to kill them in order to lift an ancient curse.

I like the part where Al is so unlucky he gets seriously hurt: he blows up his house, he falls off the roof and a satellite dish falls on his head, he P.O. his customers and they punch,throw, or stomp him etc etc etc.

Contrary to being a cashier. I think he was a manager of the store, or something which he at least ears some kind of meager salary, as Al like most blue collared American man, able to afford a house, able to do hobbies (nudie bar, sports, drinking, work on car, keep a car running). He's the typical everyman.

Nothing beats Al's favorite quote... "Let's rock."

He's a shoe salesman, as he unhappily points out at least once every episode.

>>> There's no way he could afford a house, and go on trips, while raising a family on a min wage. On a couple of episodes he has the key to the store, when he opened up one morning, this blond girl was still filling out an application. Al even affored a Harley, which he used to try and run away from the family. Kelly however was driving INTO the drive way, and crashed into Al.... Al also afforeded TNT to try and blow up a bunny, which ended up blowing up his own home....

Anyways, the irony herein also is that Al is a Shoe man, women's shoes. And women love to buy their shoes..... Al should have been very very busy. Like one of those fancy clothing stores that comprise of like 75% of the stores in a mall.
