Married...with Children season 3 episode 6 titled "Her Cups Runneth Over" follows the Bundy family as they deal with the aftermath of Peg's latest purchase - a new bra that increases her bust size by several cup sizes. As soon as Peg shows off her new body to her family, she becomes the talk of the town, attracting everyone's attention, much to Al's chagrin.
Al quickly becomes jealous of the attention that his wife is receiving, and tries to get her to take off the bra. He is unsuccessful, and his efforts only lead to more frustrating situations for himself. Meanwhile, Peggy revels in the newfound attention and even ventures out to a bar with her new look, much to Al's dismay.
As the episode progresses, other characters get in on the action, and chaos ensues. Al's neighbor and best friend, Steve, who happens to be a plastic surgeon, is eager to give advice to Al on how to handle Peg's new body, but his intentions are far from pure. Further, Al's son, Bud, discovers the newfound power of his mother's breasts and tries to use it to his advantage, much to his sister's chagrin.
The episode is full of laughs and situations that pull the characters in different directions. As always, Al is stuck in the middle of a situation he cannot control, while Peg enjoys the attention. However, when Peg accidentally spills hot coffee on herself, she realizes the true price of her new purchase and tries to make amends with Al.
Overall, "Her Cups Runneth Over" is a hilarious episode that explores the dynamics of a family dealing with one member's cosmetic transformation. The episode provides plenty of laughs, but also touches on the idea that sometimes we need to learn to love ourselves for who we are, rather than constantly striving for something more.
