SEASON 1, EPISODE 13: JOHNNY BE GONE

Married With Children's first season ends with the Bundy's being as nostalgic as ever. Al and Peg's high school hangout is being closed. There will be one last chance to eat hamburgers and fries at a special final day bash, and they have prime tickets for the special farewell party. Only problem, children issues pop up. The Bundy's scramble to fix Kelly's (she was not invited to a big party) and Bud's (his battery run car which is entered into a race is not working) problems and also make the closing ceremonies. To add to the chaos, Marcy spills salmon on her dress: she must get it clean (she is hosting Japanese bankers with a big promotion in line if she impresses) and is forced to wash at the Bundy's. The Bundy's manage to solve the kids problems with their typical unorthodox approach--will it be too late? This last episode of the season left big questions for fans of the sitcom. Mainly, would MWC fall back into the typical family sitcom blather (the Bundy's actually caring, not to mention solving, the kids problems during this episode gave signs that it would) or will it break from the network TV routine (and expand on the outrageous elements the show has offered glimpses of)? Stay tuned.

*CHICKEN LEGS: One of the longest running gags on MWC, Al for the first time tells Marcy what her legs look like!

*VIVA LA FRANCE: Al encounters his friends the French when he tries to read the instructions to Bud's car.
