And I am sure there are men out there who are losers in life whose only one claim to fame is their HS glory days in sports that they look fondly back on because they don't have anything else going for them.
Even if it is being Married With Children. -

I am really deeply and truly sorry that I may have offended or bothered you.
Just to humor you from now on I will stay off the boards.
Starting now.

Starting now.
I hope that will satisfy you because the boards are yours.
Now.
Starting right now.
Got it?
All yours from now on.
Yup.
Gonna go now.
See ya.
Hope you don't miss me too much.
Right?
Again, from now on I will know when I am a bother to anyone else and be a mind reader.
Deal?
I think you can appreciate that.
I'm sure you can.
Happy now?
Well, I hope you are now mother ****er!
Aw gee.
I am so sorry for that outburst.
I really am, asshole!
Whoops!
There it goes again.
I will be quiet now and leave you in peace because that is part of my name and who I am.
Got it?
In peace.
Talk later.
Good chatting with ya.
OK I go now.
Now.
Right now.
This time I really do mean it.
Yeah?
Allright.
OK board is now yours.

It was decades ahead of its time, too.
In one episode, Al tells an openly gay man that he loves him. And he meant it, too.
It never amounted to anything. Al didn't leave Peg and she never knew about it.
But the LGBT community sat up and took notice and they liked it.
Until Al used the F word at the end. Not the one that rhymes with truck but the one that rhymes with tag. They don't like that word. They want it banned. Along with about 2,500 other words they find offensive. -

I agree, the realism combined with comedy made it stand out. I don't think the show really got going until the third/fourth season when they brought in Gerry Cohen as the director and hired some different writers (the episodes were too slow before that, hence the change). They got a bigger budget which meant they could start to film outside the living room set, too, which made a big difference.
As far as sitcoms go, MWC is one of the greatest of all time. Applegate & O'Neill in particular were great.
