Man, this show was bad. It's like a bad dream you want to wake up from. And why did Al ever stay married to Peg if he detested her so much? I mean, is there anything smart about this show at all? If not, I'm pretty disgusted.

I think in one episode he said he wouldnt get a divorce becasue he took an oath, although I could be thinking of a different show. And no there isn't anything smart about this show, it was just supposed to be funny, and if u don't like that kind of humor you will probally hate this show. It's like the three stoges, you either like it or you think it's completly stupid and unfunny.

Actually, at quite many moments during the show, it becomes clear that Al and Peggy do still love each other, like in that episode in which they go to the video-store to rent a movie and end up making out in the closet :-) Or that time that a store used a photo of Peg to advertise and that Al was all jealous because now other man could stare at his wife :-) Or that time that Peg's family left Seven with the Bundys and then dissappeared, after which gonna search for them? He finds Seven's parents, but doesn't tell it to Peg, he tells he couldn't find them, because he knows Peg'll be unhappy without Seven :-)

All the rude comments they made on each other were true and they ment it, but on the other hand, they can't live without each other!

For the last time, The show was funny because it was the complete opposite of the Cosby Show- UNDERSTAND????

whats funny is if i dont like a show, i dont watch it, i dont know a thing about shows i dont like. not even the characters names, this person sounds like he or she has seen every episode of the show. same with other people that critisize shows. i may say i dont like a show, but i wont bring up a shows history sounding like a fan of the show. same with this guy in the roseanne thread telling every single reason why he or she hates the show.

This show was filled with classical quotes-here is one from Al

"WOMEN, CAN"T LIVE WITH THEM, THE END!

I think you are missing the point. The show worked because of the back and forth insults between the Bundys and the Rhodes/D'arcys. That would be like saying why does the Fonz wear that stupid jacket on Happy Days? Why does he always say, 'Heeeey"?

Some of my favorite quotes of all time came from this show:

Al: You know what I would do if I was President? I'd take a big empty state, that nobody's using, y'know, like Idaho, and I'd pack every pregnant woman in the country into donut trucks, and convoy 'em all to Boise. And since Idaho means nothing anyhow, I'd change the name to Preg-naho.

Kelly: Remember, attraction is a three-way street. Or is it a one-way tunnel? Hmm, in any case, I do know it's a four-lane highway, but it takes two to use the car-pool lane. I guess what I'm trying to say is, what the younger generation has learned is that there's nothing for us to watch on CBS, and you've got to be yourself. A man has to love you for you, not some costume. He's gotta love who you are.

Jefferson: Having sex with a pregnant woman is like putting gas in a car you already wrecked.

Marcy: Oh, it's too bad some men don't know how to give up their sports gracefully instead of lingering on like big babies.
Al: Yeah, doggone it. If we could only be comfortable with our age like you darn gals. You know, I mean, in the morning you go into the bathroom, a little blush, a little mascara and voila! You got an old woman afraid of the rain. Then you try and clean and jerk your breasts into a bra, ease some exercise pants over that front and back belly, go down to the market and flirt with the bag boy. I guess what I'm trying to say is it's just pretty pathetic when we guys try to cling to our youth.

Al: Bud, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Bud: Luscious hooters?
Al: No. That's what I should have been thinking about, but no.

Marcy: But unlike Evolution, I'm not letting you off the hook Al. Now can you tell me what a woman's body has to do with selling beer?
Al: All right, number one - if it wasn't for beer, there would be at least three people, who probably wouldn't be married - Me, Jefferson, and probably Lisa Marie Presley. Number two - since men buy beer, advertisers have to cater to what we want. And hold on to your corncob pipe - we like pretty women. Pretty women sell beer, ugly women sell tennis rackets. Pretty women - cars; ugly women - minivans. Pretty women make us buy beer, and ugly women make us *drink beer*.


Those are just a few I thought were funny.

Here is my all time classic from Al

"Women, can't live with them, THE END!-LOL

here's another one:

Jefferson: Al, when are we going to stop sipping this beer and start drinking it?
Griff: Yeah, all this beer foreplay is making me thirsty.
Ike: What's foreplay?
Bob Rooney: About ten seconds.
Ike: Then what's sex?



:lol:

I liked when Jefferson walked in on Al enjoying his new satellite TV and said-Al does this mean you can put great sex off until another day? Then Al said-" Put off, I'm having it right now-LOL

Jefferson: Okay, I've inserted Screw "S" into Washer "T". Dan, hand me Screw "U".
Officer Dan: What did you say?
Jefferson: I said Screw "U".
Officer Dan: Up yours!

From an episode where Al and Jefferson are trying to put up a work bench.


Al: Jefferson, do you have any of those "L" shaped parts?

Jefferson: Nope, all I got are these parts that look like 7s.
