The Dream Queen!
Sylviastel27 April 2009
While Steve's away, Marcy almost gets into a scam about the driveway being repaved but the guys only use something that washes away in the rain. It was Al that warned her that if it's too good to be true then it's a scam. After Marcy realizes that she was almost had and Al was right, how was she going to tell Al? Peggy tells her that you don't want to tell Al that he was right for whatever reasons. So Marcy hides the truth, she starts having dreams that Al is Steve and is going to make it better. The first dream is one thing but two dreams in a row is another according to Peggy. Marcy replies "I was up throwing last night." Peggy replies "You do at first and then you get over it." Then when the real Steve comes home, Marcy has to confront Al with the truth about him being right for a change.

One, two, Al's coming for you.

A guilt-ridden Marcy being plagued by Al in her dreams is a concept that really should have delivered more laughs than this disappointingly average episode. Marcy's problem stems from the fact that she cannot admit that Al was right about the driveway cowboys operating in their neighbourhood. Only by telling him that she was wrong can she stop the reoccurring nightmares in which Al appears to her in her bedroom.

I usually jot down any lines of dialogue that make me snort with laughter while watching Married With Children, but on this occasion there weren't any. I guess the fact that dream Al has no feet is amusing in an offbeat manner, but this episode simply isn't amongst the best that Season One has to offer.
