Al Bundy is back to his usual antics in the Married...with Children season 7 episode 18, titled "You Can't Miss." This episode opens with Al and his best friend, Jefferson, watching a game of football. They are both cheering for their team and making bets on who will win. As the game progresses, Al becomes increasingly frustrated with the poor performance of his team. He starts to feel like he needs to do something to turn things around.
Meanwhile, Peggy and Marcy are trying to plan a surprise party for Al's birthday. They have come up with a plan to take him out for a romantic dinner and then bring him back to the house for a surprise party. However, things don't go according to plan when Al decides to watch the game instead of going out to dinner.
As the women try to convince Al to go out to dinner, he becomes more and more stubborn. He insists that he can't miss the game and that he needs to stay home and watch it. Peggy and Marcy are both frustrated with Al's attitude, but they decide to proceed with their plan anyway. They figure that if they can get Al out of the house for a little while, they can set up the party and surprise him when he gets home.
Things start to go wrong when Al refuses to leave the house. Peggy and Marcy try everything they can think of to convince him to leave, but he won't budge. They even resort to using food as a bribe, but nothing seems to work. Al is determined to watch the game, no matter what.
As the party guests start to arrive, Peggy and Marcy become more and more frantic. They know that they only have a limited amount of time to set up the party before Al comes home. They start to scramble to get everything ready, but they are met with one obstacle after another.
Despite all of their efforts, Al eventually realizes what is going on. He becomes angry that Peggy and Marcy have gone behind his back to plan a surprise party for him. He feels like they are trying to control him and force him to do something that he doesn't want to do.
The tension between Al and Peggy and Marcy continues to escalate as the party gets underway. Al refuses to engage with any of the guests, and he spends most of his time sulking in a corner. Peggy and Marcy try to make the best of the situation, but they are both deeply disappointed by Al's behavior.
As the episode comes to a close, Al finally starts to soften towards Peggy and Marcy. He realizes that they were just trying to do something nice for him, even though he didn't appreciate it at the time. He apologizes for his behavior, and the three of them enjoy the rest of the party together.
In the end, "You Can't Miss" is a classic episode of Married...with Children that showcases the show's trademark humor and wit. It also explores themes of control and power in relationships, as Al struggles to assert his independence in the face of Peggy and Marcy's well-meaning plans. Fans of the show will undoubtedly enjoy this episode for its memorable characters, hilarious one-liners, and fast-paced action.
