If you're one of those people who won't be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow and are looking for something---anything!---else to watch, you're in luck if you live in Canada. TVTropolis will air a Married With Children marathon featuring 10 episodes all connected in some way with football. If you're a fan, you can probably already guess what's coming: Al's famous Polk High speech, where he reminds anyone who will listen (and usually, they don't) about how he once scored 4 touchdowns in one game, a story that grows more unbelievable, and funnier, every time he tells it. Look for that, and other funny stuff, in the marathon, which will feature the following episodes:
12:00 PM Poke High
Kelly cheers to attract a football player.
12:30 PM All-Nite Security Dude
Al's football trophy is stolen while he is guarding his alma mater.
1:00 PM I Who Have Nothing
Al looks up an old flame to get back a high-school memento for Bud.
1:30 PM Just Shoe It
Al is a pitchman in a sneaker ad.
2:00 PM Kelly Knows Something
Al and Kelly try to win money on a sports trivia show.
2:30 PM Field of Screams
Al's loyalty to his high school costs the town jobs.
3:00 PM Al Goes Deep
To raise quick cash, Al and Jefferson bet on a high-school football game.
3:30 PM Dud Bowl
Al convinces high-school rivals to relive a big game.
4:00 PM Dud Bowl II
Al believes he will receive an alumni award.
4:30 PM Damn Bundys
Al sells his soul to the devil to ensure a Super Bowl berth for the Bears.
(Well, what do you know? It worked!)
I figure any of these episodes should be more entertaining than the real game.
