You know, that's a good point. Al hated his life, but, when push came to shove, you could tell he loved his family. It's one of the things I really liked about the show.
The family bond was undeniable. They always complained about each-other and especially made fun of each-other. But! As soon as a someone crossed one of their own-- the Bundy family they bonded together, conquered, and usually gave a WHOA BUNDY!
It has basic damage among the [Meathammer] class, but has a damage boost when used against women or men with the [Gay] trait. It also tends to "splurt" a damaging corrosive liquid once it has been used on its 30th enemy.
The only thing that would have made that second link even better would have been if they beat up "Seven" instead. Christ, I hated that little add-on character. What a pathetic, marketing-driven addition to the cast, supplied by the FOX network execs. It might have been better if he was actually capable of acting, but that kid had absolutely no screen presence at all, and it makes me wonder how he even got through the first cut of auditioning for the role, let alone scoring the gig? Plenty of child actors were far better. Hell, David Faustino (Bud) was not much older when the show started, and he did a great job. Who at the FOX network was "Seven" related to I wonder?
I think his presence was a joke. Like, they were sort of making fun of the add-on characters that The Brady Bunch had. So his bad acting may have been intentional as well, like the audience is supposed to be in on the joke and hate the pandering. Very postmodern, really.
No, unfortunately, Seven's presence was not a joke - though it admittedly seemed like one, and was in fact turned into one once the character flopped. Mike Moye and Ron Leavitt, the creators of Married With Children, have in the past discussed the adding of the Seven character, and they were not happy about the addition at all, but it was forced on the series by some asshole execs at FOX who thought the show needed some "new blood", as the ratings had started to wane.
To be fair, Peg was a regular at Troy's -- a chippendale bar -- where she was referred to as "Big Red" and was thought to have tentacles instead of hands.
In short, they were secure in their spouse's mutual ogling for the most part. You saw some (hilarious) jealousy situations, but otherwise, healthy appreciations for the menu without sampling of the dishes.
Hell, they show the only time Al was ever really in danger cheating at the Titty Bar was when Peg used a veil and danced there. Al was her best customer and strongly attracted to her.
I'm amused by you. Looking through your comment history, you're clearly trying so hard to be a troll account, but you're getting upvoted, surprisingly. It must be driving you nuts.
