I never understood why Al acts like having sex with his hot wife is a chore. Boomers sure are different.

As a millennial who is now the same age as Al, I get it a lot more. When you are 40, come home from a job you hate that doesn’t pay enough, and are physically and mentally exhausted, yeah, sex isn’t as appealing, even if married to Katey Sagal. You just want to plop down on the couch, turn off your brain, and be left alone. Peggy being horny is just a reminder that his wife refuses to work (neither outside nor inside the home) and has more energy.

But also remember they originally offered the role to Rosanne Barr, which would have been even more understandable.

Rosanne Barr would have absolutely ruined the show and it would never have been as popular.

Al Bundy spends all day working on his hands and knees for women only to come home to more demands from a woman he’s not emotionally attracted to.

It’s supposed to be ironic that he can’t derive joy from the one bright spot in his life, a sexy wife who’s DTF.

DTF?

Dancing the Fandango

It seems his skin was sweet as mango
When last I held him to my breast
But now we dance this grim fandango
And will four years before we rest.

Doomed To Fail

It's also a nod to sooooo many married couples who got together for all the wrong reasons

Al nailed Peg because she was hot, not because he actually liked her. Peg got knocked up

Suddenly, Al, who was a star at the time and had many gals, is stuck with one annoying chick he only liked when he was drunk at a party.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

In other words he found himself married, with children

Not everyone has, or keeps their desire for sexual activity

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 27 points 10 months ago

No matter how hot an individual may be, somebody, somewhere, is tired of fucking them.

The whole show is peek boomer "haha wife bad/annoying" humour.
