Trivia: When Fox decided not to renew the show for another season, both Ed O'Neill (Al) and Christina Applegate (Kelly) heard about it from friends of theirs, instead of being informed by Fox.

Trivia: Writers Michael Moye and Ron Leavitt wanted the show to be a refreshing change from other family sitcoms at the time. They felt that too many shows featured "idealized" families who presented a proper, respectable image, and rarely struggled with money. By contrast, the Bundys would be inconsiderate, financially unstable, inappropriate, and lazy.

Trivia: A few spin-off shows were proposed. One involved Steve Rhoades being the dean at Bud Bundy's college. Another would be similar to "Friends", involving people who all knew Kelly Bundy. Christina Applegate also rejected another spin-off about Kelly. Yet another show would have been about members of the "NO MA'AM" organization, but Fox decided it was too risky.

Shoeway to Heaven - S9-E1

Plot hole: When Dominique is on TV, she says she got the shoes from Al's store. Then the Amish guy comes out to confirm she broke her leg from the shoe he made. Al says yes. She got the shoes way before Al knew he had no more shoes and before they even hired the Amish guy. How can she break her leg from his shoe if he wasn't hired and making them yet?

Quotes

The Mystery of Skull Island - S6-E14

Al Bundy: "I Care", by Al Bundy. When hooters jiggle around and I find nickels on the ground, I care. When a Mustang engine purrs and the bathroom is not hers, I care. When the pitchers on the mound and the wife is underground, I care. But when I've been playing this for days, I will kill anyone who stays, I SWEAR!

Questions

Answer: It was one of the hoses connected to the engine, nothing specific, but to indicate that Al tampered with the vehicle.
