Show Description:

The show follows the lives of Al Bundy, a once-glorious high school football player turned hard-luck salesman of women's shoes, his wife, Peggy, a tartish, uneducated housewife known for her large red bouffant hairdo, 1960s clothes and funny walk due to always wearing high heels, and their two children: Kelly, their attractive, promiscuous, dim-witted daughter, and Bud, their unpopular and girl-crazy but intelligent son (as the only Bundy who ever attended college). Their neighbors are the upwardly mobile Steve and Marcy Rhoades. (Marcy later marries second husband Jefferson D'Arcy.) Most storylines involve a scheming Al being foiled by his cartoonish dim wit and bad luck. His rivalry and loathing of Marcy also play a significant role in most episodes.
