Watch Married...with Children
Al also has a pair of neighbors, the Darcies, who spend a lot of time at the Bundy household. Although, he cares very little for Marcy Darcie (the wife) and spends a lot of time making fun of her and referring to her as a chicken. Her husband, Jefferson, though is one of Al's few actual friends. Al and Jefferson tend to spend their time together focusing on the fact that their family lives are not perfect and their wives are not the most pleasant people in the world to be around.
Married...with Children sums up the stereotypical middle class life of hating your job, problems within the family and a general distaste for the majority of people he is surrounded by on a daily basis. Al just trudges through each day of his life with a very cynical outlook, sometimes looking back to his glory days of high school football and what he used to be. He uses humor about his misfortune to help him accept the fact that he is just another faceless American Suburbanite.

Through the years, FOX has gained a deserved reputation for sometimes backing the wrong pony. Though some execs should forever be haunted by some bad decisions, there's at least a sense of appreciation for the ones that worked out. That's why, with FOX now celebrating its 25th year on the air for better and for worse, the network is honoring its legacy with a one-night-only return of the Bundy family.
