The antithesis of the loving "Cosby Show" family, "Married ... With Children" focused on the Bundys, a suburban Chicago family who would rather eat nails than say a kind word to one another. Al, the patriarch, is a misogynistic shoe salesman, whose wife, Peggy, is a housewife who does no work around the house. Saying their children, Kelly and Bud, do not have a lot going for them is an understatement. This biting comedy focuses on the couple's constant verbal sparring over their slacker kids, their lack of money, success and intimacy.

Al's quiet evening is disrupted when Peggy's strange relatives come for a visit.

Al returns a library book 30 years overdue and discovers he owes a fine of over $2,000.

Peggy believes Elvis appeared to her in the form of a sweat stain on Al's shirt.

Kelly becomes a cheerleader to win the attention of a football star (Beau Dremann).
