Synopsis
The show follows the life of Al Bundy, a once-glorious high school football player turned hard-luck salesman of women's shoes. His wife, Peggy, is a sarcastic, uneducated housewife with a large red bouffant hairdo and a 60s style. Al and Peggy's children are Kelly, a pretty, promiscuous, dim-witted daughter and Bud, an unpopular, girl-crazy, intelligent son. Their neighbors are the upwardly-mobile Steve and Marcy Rhoades. Most of the show's storylines involve a scheming Al being foiled by his dim wit and bad luck. -
