GREAT Laughs Aside...There Are Two or Three Points Worth Analyzing...
-------TEN STARS by the way !!!!!!!
------- ------- ------- -------
From the start we have a very good comedy show with clever and somewhat insolent jokes that surprise the viewer with its bravery and lack of restriction.
During the first minutes, we have a small talk between Al and Peggy that let foresee very clearly, between many other things, that they don't have intimacy anymore or it very rarely happens judging by the joke about Al's "hair on the back" and his reluctance to take it off on Peggy's request.
We had a small first look to the place where Al works and his environment and also had a pair of good laughs about his chats with his lady customers and a co-worker of his. We later have a chat between Peggy and Al where she threatens him to wipe out the credit cards if he goes out to see a basketball game instead of staying at home for the visit of their new neighbors.
The new neighbors happen to be practically newlyweds with just two months of marriage and seem to be doing all right on every level, but they weren't counting on the effect that their visit to Peggy and Al would do on their relationship.
Interestingly, at the end of the episode, the two couples seem to switch sides a bit having the newlyweds now arguing and Peggy and Al going "upstairs" while Al willingly caressing Peggy on their way up the staircase.
What happened? Did Peggy and Al remember a bit of how the were (or at least tried to be) with the visit of the newlyweds??? ...or they just felt a little bit released from the weight of their lives together when they met a fresh married couple to talk to ?
And the newlyweds? Were they negatively influenced by the Bundy couple? Or they realized that maybe they were denying important parts of themselves to make the relationship work (like the liking of sports by the husband or the importance of her mother to the wife) and chatting with the Bundys made them reconsider their priorities??? ...Or maybe (that could be a good third option) they just had a lot of issues to argue about and the Bundys only gave them the necessary excuses to have a fight ???????
Ten Stars out of ten: a clever comedy with some interesting points to think about after the good laughs.
