The show follows the lives of Al Bundy, a once-glorious high school football player (who scored four touchdowns in a single game for Polk High School) turned hard luck salesman of womens shoes his tartish, obnoxious wife Peg their attractive but dimwitted and sexually promiscuous daughter Kelly and Bud, their unpopular, girl crazy, oily but comparatively smart son (and the only Bundy who ever attended college). Their neighbors are the upwardly mobile Steve Rhoades and his wife Marcy, who later gets remarried to Jefferson DArcy, a white-collar criminal who becomes Marcys trophy husband and Als sidekick. Most storylines involve a scheming Al being foiled by his cartoonish dim wit and bad luck. His rivalry and loathing for Marcy play a significant role in most episodes.
