I remember Bobcat Goldthwait (SP?) was the father, and he said the reason they named him seven was because that's how many times they tried...
one two three four five seven!

No, his name was Seven because he was their seventh kid.

My favorite line from that episode was something like "Nobody leaves me with unwanted children except my wife!"

Because Fox is stupid. They keep pulling the plug on their popular shows after only ten seasons.

Because it was on way too long. Something like 10 seasons.

I loved that show. What a low blow for Fox to treat this show in particular like crap.

By the way:
Does anyone still remember Miranda Veracruz de la Joya Cardenal. I got a kick out of how insanely ridiculous her long ass name sounded.

I've got a custom NO MA'AM shirt I made about seven (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7) years ago.

For Christmas this year my girlfriend had a custom Polk High 33 football jersery made for me.

my favorite sitcom of all time. I thought Jefferson was a nice improvement over Steve, and Griff was a surprisingly solid addition to a show that was already pretty long in the tooth. The addition of Seven to the cast was a mistake and I think just accelerated the end.

There are a ton of legendary episodes...the one where the "Al Bundy Field" scoreboard gets accidentally blown up and the various groups that claim credit: The National Organization of Women, the National Orginzation of Fat Women, and the Government of France. I love that bit.

Or the epic struggle for the trophy with Bubba Smith.

Damn that's an awesome episode!

"Sure, I've had a little fame but you've had pie! I haven't eaten in 19 years!"

"That headline should've read 'Spare Tire crushes unidentified white boy at goal line.'"

I guess I'm the only one that didn't like the last few seasons that much with no ma'am being an excuse of a lack of stories between al and peggy. As with any good show, the ideas dry up and it must be put to rest.

One of my favorites was the hispanic reporter with 20 names that they had a few times a season. Then the shoe groupie, Bud's 50 year old virgin librarian with the glass figurine collection, when the daughter was dating the city councilman, jefferson being a spy and killing the guy at the baseball game and a bunch of others.

personally I hated the show when it first came out and started watching it around season 3.

Is the "lost" episode that never aired because the network thought it was too racy on any of the dvds? Read an article about it in TV Guide years ago. Something about Steve and Marcy going to a motel and they later find out the motel videdotapes the guests having sex. Steve and Marcy sue the motel. Al, seeing a way to get some cash, takes Peggy to the motel so he can sue too. The Bundys lose the case because the judge decides no "actual" sex took place, or something.
