Will Al break the bowling record? Not with Peggy's help, he will not. Al's big night at the lanes gets a surprise guest he did not invite.

This clip comes from Married with Children Season 4 Episode 19, "Peggy Turns 300." Al tries to skip Peg's birthday for a night at the lanes, but Peggy catches on and joins him.

Bowling is sacred ground for Al Bundy, which is exactly why anything that disrupts it is comedy gold. This storyline is one of the show's best uses of Al's pride.

Scenes like this are what made the Bundys one of television's most memorable families. Moments like this are why Married with Children is still quoted today. The writing is sharp, the timing is perfect and the Bundys never try to be anything other than themselves.
