Review of 976-SHOE

Married... with Children: 976-SHOE (1989)
Season 4, Episode 8
I wouldn't want to be in Steve's shoes.
8 November 2022
In a last-ditch attempt to win a free trip to Hawaii, Steve approves a loan for Al to the tune of $50k so that he can fund a hare-brained money-making scheme: 555-SHOE, a toll line for shoe emergencies. Unsurprisingly, the enterprise is a total flop ("How many calls have you had?""None today. Tomorrow, twice as many."). As a result, Steve looks as though he will lose his job, until Marcy steps in to approve a loan to cover Steve's loan. Al uses the second $50K loan to continue with his business and loses that money as well.

By the end of the episode, Al has had to extend his mortgage by one hundred years, Steve has lost his job, and Marcy has been demoted. But it's not all doom and gloom, for the viewer at least: this one is mighty funny, with Al's ridiculous TV ads being the comedic highlights, while Kelly wears one of her tightest and shortest red dresses to her father's court case.
