This one has a pretty high rating here on IMDb, but I don't find it very funny: I think that the plot is kinda weak and the big laughs just aren't there.
Al isn't happy about a large phone bill, especially the $80 call to Canada that no-one is owning up to making. Al refuses to pay the bill, and as a result the phone is cut off, much to the dismay of Kelly.
Also bothering Al is a new crime light in the street, which shines directly in his face as he is trying to sleep.
The Bundys not having a phone is a rather mundane situation on which to hang an entire episode, and the whole thing about the crime light is just there in order to end the show with a cruel twist of fate for Al. It's certainly not one of the season's better episodes.
