It was one of the most intelligent TV shows ever made. The social commentary on the show was absolutely brilliant.
It was a smart show wrapped up to look like a dumb show, really.
Still my favorite sitcom ever. Al Bundy is an American treasure.

I only gave Modern Family a chance because Al Bundy is in it.
Also, watching reruns now, the show's even better than how I used to remember it, as a kid. For some reason, the one part in the early seasons where Steve comes back from a trip, turns around, and then suddenly is Al used to scare me.
The later episodes with guest stars and country music crap suck, though.
That episode also told me the essential truth about anything work related:
"it's only cheating if you get caught!"
Lance Armstrong, anyone?

This show is still hilarious in reruns today. I would love for it to hit Netflix with the original theme song.

The idea that no man finds his wife attractive no matter what she looks like.
You must have been one boring, conservative teen. Condolences.

I think its the fact that she makes him miserable more then her not being attractive.
Because he was married to her and only saw her as the wife.

Well, then you haven't been paying attention for the last four years!
I can't believe I (roughly) remember that line, and how it's said, to this day.

What are you referring to? Marcy was gay, but I believe that's the only one.

GOAT sitcom for me. Al Bundy remains my hero.
Marcy: God, I hate men!
Al: I thought you were man's best friend. Oh wait, that's a dog, not a chicken. Sorry, Marce.
Al: [three steps away from home plate] Before I cross home plate and bring home the first-ever championship to the Mallers, I would just like to say that... [á la Lou Gehrig] Today... today... today..., I consider you... you... you... the luckiest team on the face of the earth... earth... earth. And in closing I'd like to say, I hate you all, and I thank no one but myself. As of today, I, Al Bundy, am finished with baseball. [takes one step for every letter, the last one jumping on home plate] M... V... P!
I seriously almost gave a speech similar to that after my last high school football game. Fuckers.

what the heck is this
That's not exactly it. It has to do with how she treats him and what is life is because of her. When they fall into some money on a few episodes, they love each other.

Al Bundy's fat jokes are timeless. The way the women always speak in that "taken great umbrage" or "pompous" tone of voice to him is the perfect setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVg5QqJoxuU

Along with Roseanna, the greatest Sitcoms ever.
Sadly long with Roseanne they both took a dive in their later seasons, though Married With Children's wasn't as hard a dive.

One of my favorite moments from the show. I show this to everyone I know at Christmas and they all laugh hard.

Wish this was release on bluray. My 20+ DVDs take up a lot of room.
Very true. Steve, and Marcy were the perfect, Conservative yuppie foils to pit against the crass Bundys. Jefferson was just Al, Jr.
Oh, and this is why the same newspaper keeps reappearing on different shows.

I never watched the show, but I watched a bunch of clips today because of this thread and man, does it feel way ahead of its time considering it was an early 1990s series.
Al tells a scary story to kids at camp

The married man fight song at the mall. A man is getting married soon so Al tells the guys to sing the song for him.

Thanks, should re-watch some to get acquainted again.
Just looked it up, I was 13 when the show ended. Think what you will. Least I'm not a prick now.
You used to be able to get the Complete Edition (11 seasons) for $30 or less on Amazon, now it's like $180.
What the hell is going on there? That's the shitty version anyway without the Frank Sinatra song. I have that one bought for $20, and I've been rebuying it on Mill Creek DVDs. Once I've rebought them all, I plan to never use this collection again.
