What's your favorite episode of "Married With Children"?

Due to computer limitations, I'm unable to post the video, but my favorite has to be the episode where Al realizes he needs glasses, so he goes to the optometrist, (along with Bud & Kelly)

One where his old barber died or shut down and he can't find anything but hair styling salons.

The other a Christmas one, I think Sam Kinnison was on it and he does a Night before Christmas poem that ends "And I heard him exclaim, as he broke wind with glee. You're Married with Children. You can never be free"

He started out as a "fire & brimstone" preacher.

He was great in Rodney Dangerfield's "Back To School"

He died after a drunk driver driving a truck hit his car head-on

He was 38 when he died.

Peggy won a contest that gave her sessions at home with a personal trainer, and she killed him with her sedentary lifestyle. Then Al delivered a great speech about how the cockroaches will outlast us all because they're perfectly evolved to eat garbage.

Al brings home a cheap, leviathan-sized air conditioner marked "Property of Erwin Rommel" that promptly breaks down forcing the Bundys to find comfort at the freezer aisle of a local supermarket during a sweltering weekend.

The one where Bud tries to get laid and it backfires on him.

The one where Kelly tries to be the cute one.

The one where Peggy goes out of her way to get noticed by Al.
