btw, I'm asking for this shirt from Christmas:



I will model it for the Lounge.

Is that somewhere in stock?

Amazon.com. Type in 'polk high'

They got proper football jerseys too.

Thx but that prob cost like a fortune for us Scandis.

Classic.

Let me add me geekness to this thread. I actually have seasons 1 through 9 on my 160gig ipod. I watch random episodes every day during my lunch hour at work. I know, i know...but i really love this show.

Best season IMO is season 6. Parts of 5 and 7 s well, but i think 6 is when they hit their stride.

Season 2 Episodes 1+2: Poppy's by the Tree




synopsis: The Bundys take a vacation in beautiful Dumpwater, Florida, at a cut-rate motel ($8 a night!) where an ax murderer who hates tourists shows up every five years, and the locals bet on the time he will strike next. and of course, the Bundys are his next victims.


7/10 - A two-parter and not a bad one at all, but no real zingers, and probably the most plot in the any episode(s) so far. Peggy looks particularly hot in these ones, and is wearing a pair of cute pink shorts.

First: Bud is telling complete BS to a girl to impress her, including he invented/owns Coca Cola and Chevrolet, and he's a cop in Chicago Vice; Kelly drinking beer.


Dialogue
-------------------------------
(Becky, the maid, comes in with towels and toilet paper)
Becky: I'll just put the T.P. in the B.R.
Al: Uh, no, no, not over there... Could you - could you put it down over there?
(AL INDICATES A FOOTSTOOL. BECKY PUTS THE T.P. DOWN. AL LOOKS AT HER BEHIND. PEGGY REACTS)
Becky: You look like a nice couple...
Al: Ah, you too.
--------------------------
Kelly: Yeah, is there any actual food here or do I just stand by a bug light with my mouth open?
Bed: Hey, even bumpkins have feelings, Kell.
Roy: What do you want?
Kelly: A bus ticket and a real family. But for now I'll settle for a couple of burgers.
Roy: Two burgers, Beany.
(BEANY NODS, SCRATCHING UNDER HIS ARM)
Roy: (TO BUD) How 'bout you?
Bud: Is he the cook?
Roy: Yup.
Bud: I'll have a coke. Unopened.
------------------------
Al: Look. That guy's the killer. I know it, you know it, and them, (INDICATES GROUP) Well, if Darwin was right, they'll know it in about a million years. Now, me, I'm taking my family and I'm going back to Chicago, where I die just a little each day.
-------------------------
Bud: Ever hear of the drink "Coca Cola"
Gloria: Yeah?
(BUD INDICATES HIMSELF. GLORIA IS IMPRESSED)
Kelly: Will you stop it?
Bud: That's the first time you've said those words, Kell.

Season 2, Episode 3: Buck Can Do it



synopsis: Al hasn't fixed the fence in the yard for 2 months, and Buck has been getting out and impregnating every bitch he can find. Al has to get Buck neutered, and he really doesn't want to do it, but the neighbours insist, and everyone is trying to sell ugly, stupid puppies.



7/10

A pretty good episode, with a few excellent zingers from Al, and enjoyable to see Buck so prominent.


Dialogue:
---------------------
PEGGY: I want you to fix the back fence.
AL: Wait a second, Peg, why should I have to fix it? It wasn't me who said, "let's get a picture of your mother leaning up against the fence." It wasn't meant to support a 200-pound woman with a keg under each arm.
PEGGY: It made a nice picture, Al.
---------------------
PEGGY: It's been two months, Al. When are you going to fix the fence?
AL: Tomorrow, Peg.
PEGGY: And that other thing we talked about?
AL: Tomorrow, Peg.
PEGGY: We're getting complaints from the neighbors.
AL: What... are we bringing down the block's average?
PEGGY: We'd bring down the average at a nursing home.
--------------------
PEGGY: We were neutering the dog, Al. Oh but honey, before you take him down, could you ask him for a few pointers?
AL: Well, one thing that seems to work him was, there was no one lying there yelling a bunch of instructions at him.
-------------------
PEGGY: Marcy suggested this vet that's not too far from us. And guess what, Al, she's a woman.
AL: Of course. What does she do? Nag 'em till they drop off?

Season 2: Episode 4 - If I were a Rich Man



Synopsis: Al and Steve visit the vault at Steve's bank, and the next day $ 1 million dollars is reporting missing. Al is then treated like a king by Peggy and the kids when they think he took the money.


6/10
Yeah, this one was okay, but not great. Steve was pretty good as ever, and was nearly tempted to go along with one of Al's ideas (and this one was a good one).


First: We see the bank where Steve works




Dialogue:
------------------
Al: Today will go down in history as the day that nothing went wrong. First, I cut all the green lights to and from work. Then I heard three good songs in a row on the Oldies station. But best of all: some fat woman came in the store and yelled at me. Then she went out and fell right on her ass. And tonight the Cubs, and you... you're going out.
Peggy: No I'm not. We were going to have a tupperware party over at Mrs. Zimmerman's house, but the store was out of X-rated tapes, so I came home. You know Al, since the kids are both gone, I was thinking maybe we could 'fool around'.
Al: Oh Peg, if we do that now, your birthday just won't be special.
-------------------
Steve: Listen Al. Monday, when they check the duty roster, one word is gonna come down from above - Rhoades. And I will have one word for them - Bundy.
Al: Listen Steve, I didn't take it.
Steve: Al! We're talking 20 to 50 with chainsaw killers. And don't think I'm serving time alone, bunkie. If I'm gonna be playing in the showers with maniacs, you're gonna be passing the soap.
-------------------
Steve: They'll think back, "Let's see... who was the last person in the bank on Saturday? Who had the opportunity? Why, it was Rhoades. No wonder he called in sick today. Well, let's turn down his car loan and give him twenty years to life". Of course, I'll turn you in, and as soon as we're both behind bars, I'm going to kill you. And if I can't do it myself, I'll make sure my boyfriend's bigger than yours.

Db, I've fallen behind! Will try to catch up this week.


Here's a picture of Ted McGinley from Monday's Dancing With the Stars. He is so nice and a real gentleman! I think he's doing a great job but the judges are nit-picking him.

Eff those judges. Jefferson for president!

I mean winner!

lol season 9 is out on DVD now. Pause the DVD when the bowling scores are on the screen during the "Al afraid of shoes" episode

I lol'ed hard

Season 2: Episode 5 - For Whom The Bell Tolls



Synopsis: Al's beef with the phone company has neighbors and family wanting his hide after the Bundy phone service is cut off. Plus there's a new light outside that he has to pay for, and that keeps shining in his eyes. Little does he know not paying it will lead to personal catastrophe in the form of Peg's mother coming to stay. Oh, and Kelly goes nuts without the phone.



5/10

Not that great, but okay. The mother-in-law jokes are always good, and the best thing about the episode is the image of Al lying in the dark, eyes wide, with the damn light shining in his face.


Dialogue:
-------------------------
Al: Peg, Peg. I can't sleep, what can I do?
Peggy: Well, since we're not using the telephone, we could wrap the cord around your neck and slowly tighten it 'til the sandman comes.
Al: Ah, you women. You can't forget about that maternal instinct, can you?
-------------------------
Peggy: Yeah, the new crime light is really nice. Everyone in the neighborhood is real happy about it.
(Al enters)
Al: I hate those new crime lights. They make everything look yellow. The neighborhood is ugly enough during the day without having to look at it at night.
Peggy: I can't comment on that right now, Mom. Al just alkwed in the orde.
Al: Pig-latin Peg? Must be your mother. Tell her I said 'Oink'.
------------------------
Al: Oh gee, look dear, the new telephone bill came. Lets see. Oh, there is some big fat bills from Milwaukee. You know anybody big and fat from Milwaukee, Peg?
-----------------------
Al: Look, Peg, go out to a payphone, call your mother before she gets to the bottom of her driveway because once she's in motion, you can't stop here! Was that a tremor? Oh God, she must be changing bras!

Season 2: Episodes 6+7, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun 1+2



Synopsis: Al and Steve are letching at a cute female plumber, and Steve gets caught by Marcy, and given the usual MCP lecture. Later, Peg and Marcy go with a group of girls to 'Troys' where there's a ton of male 'dancers'. Marcy loses her wedding ring down the front of Zorro's briefs, and leaves a note to Zorro to return the ring to Peg's address. When Zorro turns up, only Al is home....


7/10 A pretty good one, especially for the ladies (lots of beefcake on show here - I was kind of shocked how much we got to see, actually - with Peg and Marcy dancing with and riding around on male strippers), and covering a major part of the Bundy battlefield - the battle of the sexes. Marcy is shown to be a hypocrite, and even Steve has some great zingers.

First: Al agrees to sex with Peggy when she asks without a fight!

Dialogue:
---------------------
Marcy: I can't believe it. You're just as bad as Al. You're worse than Al. He's nothing but a Neanderthal sexist but at least he doesn't hide it.
Al: Hide it? I've got a T-shirt that says it.
Marcy:I never thought I'd say this. But Steven Rhoades, under that sensitive, caring facade, you're nothing but a... a... man.
Steve: That's not true!
-------------------
Peggy: So Al, you were staring at that girl too?
Al: Yeah...
Peggy: I bet she had great legs.
Al: Yeah...
Peggy: And good breasts.
Al: Yeah...
Peggy: Do you wanna come upstairs.
Al: Yeah... wait a minute, with you?
Peggy: Oh, yeah!
Al: ...okay.
--------------------
Al: (to Kelly) I want you to tell uncle Steve what your guidance counsellor said what career you'd be best suited for.
Kelly: Lumbercamp toy or the other woman
--------------------
Marcy: Uh, Peggy, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable here.
Peggy: That's okay. It usually takes me a while to warm up, too.
(Peggy jumps up with a dollar, and gets on stage and starts dancing with the stripper)
Other Stripper: Hey. Mrs Bundy's back.
Announcer: We're rich!
--------------------
Al Bundy (to Steve, just after he's told him how Zorro got the ring): Do me one favor. When you strip away every ounce of humanity, every shred of pride she has, just when she's bending down to kiss your feet, tell her you got the ring from Al Bundy.
--------------------

Season 2, Episode 8: Born To Walk




Synopsis: Al loses his driving license the day Kelly gets hers. Plus he gets a red hot tip for a horse, but needs to get to the track, and has to rely on the women to get there in time...


5/10

This was okay, but not great. The script wasn't as full of jokes as the usual episode, where there's virtually a laugh in every line, and there were many lines which were just exposition. It warmed up towards the end, and saved the episode from just being poor, but not to the usual standard, imo.


Dialogue:
-------------
Al: Kelly is the worst driver in the world.
Kelly: Daddy
got a ticket.
Peggy: Driving with your shoes off again, Al?
Kelly: No, we got pulled over for a busted tail-light, then dad got another ticket because his drivers licence expired last month.
Peggy: That means you had a birthday last month. Happy birthday honey!
-------------
Al: Hey, Steve? You know that two feet, three inches? Well, it was just big enough that a cop spotted me and gave me another ticket for a broken tail-light.
Steve: Well, I warned you, Al.
Al: Yeah, oh yeah. You know, me and you just have to go hunting one day. Yeah, I'll get you a pair of antlers to wear.
Peggy: I thought we were going, Al.
Al: We'll make a day of it!
