AL Bundy=Our Lord and Savior and founder of NO MAAM!

I think Steve was a better character, but Jefferson came on board when the show started to pick up steam. Basically, Steve was better, but Jefferson was in better episodes, so I'm kinda stuck on both.
Anyway, Ed O'Neill hinted that David Garrison was his favorite person to act alongside on the show. He said it at one of the reunions in front of the rest of the cast, which I thought was a bit awkward. O'Neill & Garrison did have really good chemistry, though.

Steve. Jefferson was funny too and I remember the actor from Revenge of the Nerds, but Steve was a more realistic character and a counter balance to Al. Jefferson was the tag along and more of a cartoon like character (even though he was still funny).

Do you prefer Steve or Jefferson?

You're right. The show really brightened up when they were able to branch out into different locations.

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.

you're welcome. You too.

Thank you, Matthew. You are a true fan.

He said 'homo' not the f-word.

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.

All the characters in Seinfeld were unlikable.

One of the best sitcoms out there. Much better than that **** sitcom

It's also a documentary into how tolerant we once were regarding humour. WMC couldn't be made nowadays, feminazis and snowflakes have destroyed all that.

Realistic? No family could live in a home like that with only one breadwinner making minimum wage. Not to mention their dog was a purebred worth over $1,000.00.

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.

Truth.

All in the family was good too, with Meathead being the perfect antagonist!

Well Roseanne was never realistic. You guys keep trying to revive that show. It didn't work. Just like it didn't work me getting rid of all those people that sit around in their cars parked out in driveways waiting around to bother me.
