Al Bundy is an unsuccessful middle aged shoe salesman with a miserable life and an equally dysfunctional family. He hates his job, his wife is lazy, his son is dysfunctional (especially with women), and his daughter is dim-witted and promiscuous.
The Bundys lets a foreign exchange student live in their home for the weekly $500 that the government will pay them, but the french girl ends up ruining Kelly's social life.
