The No Maam reunion gets honest: one of the guys grew up dreaming of being a wacky sitcom neighbor and MWC made it real. Plus me getting roasted by fans for claiming Ed never broke the fourth wall.
David Faustino and the No Ma’am guys reveal the hilarious backstory of ‘How Bleen Was My Kelly,’ including Amanda Bearse’s custom crayons gift and the writers’ room secret behind Kelly’s greatest invention.
Tom McCleister (Ike) was supposed to open in Eating Raoul: The Musical the same Friday he taped his first Married with Children episode. He took the one Friday off, became every Friday, did 23 episodes, and his understudy ran his musical without him.
Peg and her friends announce they are coming to the nudie bar to find out what the appeal is, so NO MA’AM holds a strategy meeting in the garage. Bud turns out to already be a regular. Kelly is cast in a commercial for a weight loss shake.
NO MA’AM fly to Washington to testify before a Senate committee about getting Psycho Dad reinstated, having each told their wives a different lie about where they are going. Back home, Bud and Kelly throw a party that makes the national news.
Psycho Dad is cancelled, so NO MA’AM mounts a protest outside the television station in brutal cold and then leaves to get warm before the news cameras arrive. With nobody in Chicago paying attention, they decide to take it to Washington. Part one of two.
