Al Bundy is a simple, working-class man, forever regretful of the turns his life has taken since the end of high school.
He is married to Peggy, whom he mistakenly asked to marry him while drunk.
They have two children: Kelly, a blonde stereotype, and Bud, an intelligent but perpetually horny and unpopular schemer named after a brand of beer.
He was a star running full back on the Polk High School football team.
Al lives in a suburb of Chicago and is the proud owner of a 1971 Dodge, which he has been paying for, for years, never quite owning it outright.
He works as a women's shoe salesman and hates his job.
...so this is Al. He lives an unhappy and miserable life, but no matter what he will always love his family.
