It has some of the series' more entertaining moments. The Rhodes leave their house in the care of the Bundy's for a few days. Al and Peg immediately loot the house of all valuable. And when a moving truck shows up looking for "Steve's Road House," Peg tells them it's next door.
The following day there is nothing but a hole in the ground where the Rhodes' house was. Steve and Marcy are enraged and are forced to sleep on the Budy's sacrosanct sofa.
But it happens that this is the night that Kelly was promised for a sleepover party for half a dozen of her classmates. The gathering of the girls is the funniest of the two story threads. I don't know how the two writers could come up with such vicious dish among the young ladies but they do it.
There isn't anything of substance behind the episode, anymore than there were messages being lugged behind the others. It's gag after gag, though they're not unthinking gags and sometimes make a demand or two upon the viewer. I'll give an example. In another episode, an old lady's teeth fall on the counter in front of Al. He looks up at the camera with an agonized expression and moans, "Oh, the HUMANITY." I grant you, that's not much of a demand on the viewer but it represents many times the challenge of most of the current crap on TV.
