Best In The Season So Far

Warning: Spoilers
In a world without Peggy, MWC definitely needs some additional boosts to guide them through the absence of such a great character, but they pulled this one off with gusto!

It's one of the wackier episodes, which is usually when the Bundy's are at their absolute apex. Al suffers the "terrifying" experience of a $2500 painting of Peg, which knocks him for six. When he comes to, he has "met God" in his subconscious, and fell in awe of god's shoes. Al then proceeds to go on a holyman-like quest to create and sell the shoes, with Jefferson as his manager.

It's completely loopy, and completely hysterical! - Some of the great lines are how they're said, not what they say. Such as Al regaling his children with what he said to god, which was; "WHERE'D YOU GO THOSE SHOOOZ??" --- Another good one is the beginning of the same scene, when Al first regains consciousness, and his children tell him how long he'd been out, and Kelly said she couldn't call 911 because she couldn't remember the number!

Anyway, a spaced-out God's shoe-flogging Al is an absolute delight to behold, I highly recommend this goofy episode!

What in God's name?

What the hell were they smoking/snorting when they came up with the script for this episode? It's totally bonkers!

Peggy commissions a portrait of herself for $2500. When Al sees the painting and the price tag, he recoils in shock and falls out of the bedroom window, landing on his head. After two hours unconscious, he wakes up and declares that he saw God - or, to be more accurate, the shoes of God.

He then locks himself away for forty days and forty nights and makes a pair of God's shoes. When Jefferson hears Al's story and sees the shoes, he takes all of Marcy's savings and goes into production of the footwear, with Al promoting the product on TV with zero success.

In the end, Al accidentally falls out of his bedroom window again, and, while knocked out cold, meets Sidney Rimhollow, the real owner of the shoes Al originally saw; he suggests another money-making scheme to Al...

While not the funniest of episodes, this one is worth seeing for its crazy story, the very silly shoes, an insanely hot table dancer, and a stage hand with an incredible mullet.
