Al takes Peggy bowling on her birthday, though not exactly by choice. What starts as an escape attempt turns into a family outing, and a night that Al will never forget.

This clip comes from Married with Children Season 4 Episode 19, "Peggy Turns 300." It is Peggy's birthday and Al's escape plan is the bowling alley. She catches him before he gets away and comes with him.

Al's relationship with bowling tells you everything about him: big dreams, fragile ego and a family that always seems to get in the way.
