Dedicated Married With Children fans will wonder who this Peg is, because she's certainly not the one we've grown accustomed to during later episodes. Believe it or not, she's even insisting the kids eat breakfast at the beginning of this episode! Al and Peg get into an argument after she insists he will be attending a family wedding in Milwaukee. Before Al goes to work, he threatens to not come home. At first Peg is unconcerned; where else would Al go? But when Al convinces his co-worker Luke to let him stay at his bachelor pad, Peggy nearly has a nervous breakdown waiting for Al to come home. At Luke's, two bubble-headed bimbo's arrive--acquaintances of Luke's. Luke takes one into his bedroom, leaving Al with the other very friendly blond. She eventually comes on to Al, but Al resists...somehow. He then brings home a blond wig for Peg; all memories of the fight disappear, he has needs to take care of. I really did not care for Luke. The guy is so unlikeable, making an episode like this (where he is featured prominently) difficult to stomach. The scenes with Al and his admirer seem to drag on; this episode is not the best example of early Married With Children humor.
* I RECOGNIZE THAT FACE: Luke waits on Estelle Harris at the shoe store. Otherwise known as George Costanza's mother on Seinfeld. Jerry Hall, one of the Cherry sisters, doesn't have the best acting resume, but she is quite well known for being the wife of Mick Jagger during most of the 1990's.
