Series star David Faustino (Bud Bundy) cowrote this episode, originally titled "An Officer and a Garbage Man". Still unemployed, Al (Ed O'Neill) and Griff (Harold Sylvester) endeavor to pick up steady money by joining the military reserves. Their first assignment is to uphold the peace at a bitter garbage-workers' strike--and if that doesn't stink enough, the boys' commanding officer is Jefferson D'Arcy (Ted McGinley). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
