Ep 17. Peggy Loves Al, Yeah Yeah, Yeah

Peggy Loves Al, Yeah Yeah, Yeah is the seventeenth episode of the second season of the long-running sitcom Married...with Children. The episode first aired on February 10, 1988, and follows the Bundys as they navigate yet another wacky and hilarious adventure.

As the title of the episode suggests, this week's storyline revolves around the love that Peggy, Al's wife, has for her husband. From the opening scene, it's clear that Peggy is head over heels for Al, constantly showering him with attention and affection. Al, on the other hand, is far less enthusiastic about his wife's advances - he's more interested in watching TV and eating his dinner in peace. Despite this, Peggy remains undeterred, and continues to try and woo her uninterested husband.

The central conflict of the episode comes when Peggy decides that she wants to renew her wedding vows with Al, and throws herself into all the preparations required. This means shopping for a new dress, booking a hall, and sending out invites to all their friends and family - much to Al's dismay. Peggy's obsession with the vow renewal even leads to her quitting her job, leaving Al as the sole provider for the family.

As the wedding draws closer, Al's frustration with Peggy reaches boiling point. He can't understand why she is so insistent on renewing their vows, and tries to put a stop to it by sabotaging the preparations. However, Peggy is too determined to let anything get in the way of her special day, and refuses to back down.

Meanwhile, the couple's daughter Kelly has her own problems to deal with. She's been grounded for failing a math test, and her punishment is to teach her brother Bud everything she knows about math. This leads to some hilarious scenes as Kelly tries to impart her knowledge on her clueless sibling, with predictably disastrous results.

The episode also features some classic moments from Al's job as a shoe salesman. In one memorable scene, Al is forced to deal with a difficult customer who insists on wearing shoes that are several sizes too small. This results in Al getting into a physical altercation with the customer, much to the delight of his colleagues.

As the vow renewal draws nearer, tensions between Peggy and Al reach an all-time high. Peggy is heartbroken by Al's lack of enthusiasm, and Al is frustrated by Peggy's refusal to see reason. However, in a touching final scene, Al reveals that he does love Peggy - albeit in his own unique way. The episode ends with the couple renewing their vows in a sweet and heartfelt ceremony, surrounded by their loved ones.

Overall, Peggy Loves Al, Yeah Yeah, Yeah is a classic episode of Married...with Children. It perfectly captures the show's trademark blend of acerbic humor and sentimental family moments, while also highlighting the enduring love between Peggy and Al. Whether you're a long-time fan of the show or a newcomer, this episode is sure to entertain and delight.
