Dan Tullis, Jr. Movies

To stir up new business for Buzz Beer, Lewis (Ryan Styles) and Oswald (Diedrich Bader) create a website (www.buybuzzbeer.com)--and are promptly arrested for unwittingly selling liquor to minors. In his efforts to help his friends during their court hearing, Drew (Drew Caerey) succeeds only in making things worse, inspiring the judge (Paul Gleason) to use Cleveland's new "anti-gang" law to force Drew and his friends to stay 100 feet away from one another--for the rest of their lives. After a futile effort to replace his pals with goldfish, Drew decides to risk a jail sentence by holding a birthday party for Kate, wherein he and his buddies will be cleverly disguised in "Wizard of Oz" costumes. Meanwhile, Mimi (Kathy Kinney) isn't amused when Steve (John Carroll Lynch) announces his plan to wear his mom's bridal gown at their wedding. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Nancy Linari guest stars as Sister Benedicta, a no-nonsense nun whose mission in life is to make certain that Kelly (Christina Applegate) is living up to the morals clause in her new TV-commercial contract. Meanwhile,the crew of the longrunning (or should we say "never-ending"?) Fox series Cops follows Officer Dan (Dan Tullis Jr.) on his appointed rounds--with Al going along for the ride. This episode was originally shown in tandem with an actual installment of Cops--"Bad Boys" theme music and all. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hoping to get a promotion at the Kyoto National Bank (Chicago branch), Marcy (Amanda Bearse) invites the bank's owner, Mr. Shimokawa (Pat Morita of Karate Kid fame), to a traditional Japanese dinner. But Shimokawa will agree to the promotion only if he can get his hands on the "classic" Dodge owned by Marcy's mortal enemy Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill). Once he finds out how valuable his old heap has become, Al levies a series of very costly demands upon the hapless Marcy. Katey Sagal (Peggy) does not appear in this episode. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Marcy (Amanda Bearse) had hoped that Jefferson (Ted McGinley) would spend an intimate evening with her for their anniversary, but instead he parties on with Al (Ed O'Neill) and the guys at the local nudie bar, "The Jiggly Room." Drunk as a skunk, Jefferson decides to honor his wife by getting an "I LOVE MARCY" tattoo. Unfortunately, the tattoo artist is just as blotto as everyone else at party--and the "love letter" on Jefferson's epidermis winds up reading "I LOVE MARY." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Peg (Katey Sagal) and her lady friends decide to find out just what it is that attracts their husbands to "The Jiggly Room", a local nudie bar. Al (Ed O'Neill) is upset by Peg's intrusion upon his macho sanctum sanctorum, but is downright appalled when his wife decides to strut her own stuff on the Jiggly Room stage. Meanwhile, Kelly (Christina Applegate) may have trouble holding on to her latest commercial acting assignment for a weight-loss product. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

For full appreciation of this episode, it should be noted that it was originally telecast during a particularly contentious Major League baseball strike. Yearning for the sound of the crack of a bat and the roar of a crowd, Al's all-male organization NO MA'AM organizes a blue-collar baseball league, underwritten by several of the country's better nudie bars. The resulting team names include the Chicago Cleavage, the Boston Bazooms, and the Buffalo Bodacious Ta-Tas. Without any further elaboration, be it noted that real-life baseball stars Mike Piazza, Bret Saberhagen, Danny Tartabull, Frank Thomas and Dave Winfield appear as themselves--and also watch for the scene in which the entrepreneurial Al is interviewed by sportscaster Joe Martin. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

When he insults one fat female customer too many, Al (Ed O'Neill) is ordered to go for three weeks without "blowing up" on the job--or else! Angry over being persecuted by the minions of Political Correctness, Al and his fellow NO MA'AM members embark upon a long and (needlessly) difficult journey to commiserate with legendary machismo guru Ironhead Haynes (guest star Waylon Jennings), who lays down his "Nine Commandments" of male chauvinism. This episode marks the final appearance of Hill Harper as Aaron. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Al (Ed O'Neill) and Jefferson (Ted McGinley) have their hearts set on going to a new sports bar to hobnob with celebrity athletes Joe Namath, Johnny Bench and Ernie Banks). Alas, the bar is opening on the same night that Peg (Katey Sagal) and Marcy (Amanda Bearse) want to attend the live "Jeffersons Movin On Up Tour." The result is a loud and outsized brawl--and not just at the sports bar. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Bundy family enjoys an unexpected streak of fabulous luck. Well, not everyone enjoys the streak: Al Bundy (Al Bundy) is convinced that his unexpected good fortune is merely a manifestation of the family curse. . .which invariably ends with death. Highlights of this episode include a fleeting Twilight Zone reference, and the announcement by Kelly Bundy (Christina Applegate) that her waitressing career has come to an end. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

When a group of women invade the sanctity of Al's bowling alley and favorite nudie bar, Al (Ed O'Neill) retaliates by creating his own anti-feminist group, the National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood--or NO MA'AM for short. The group's first act is to stage a coup at the TV talk show "The Masculine Feminist", bind and gag host Jerry Springer--yes, THAT Jerry Springer--and deliver their macho manifesto. Dan Tullis Jr. makes his first series appearance as Officer Dan. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A terrorist couple is pitted against each other when the female counterpart is captured by C.I.A. agents. She is convinced to help them bring down the dangerous group in this violent actioner. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi

When Al tells the kids that they're going to have to earn their own keep, Kelly becomes a singer with a group called The Gutter Cats (playing themselves). Enterprising Bud likewise finds work--as Kelly's agent, with most of her earnings coming his way. Listen for a brief but pointed reference to the home town of Married. . .With Children's "bete noire", housewife-activist Terry Rakolta. This is the final episode to feature David Garrison as a regular. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
