Married With Children Super Bowl Marathon

[Sal]

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.
