Al’s Shoe Store Accepts Vista Cards
During the original run of Married… With Children, the Visa cards’ actual name could not be used, so the producers had to improvise. They tried to think of something new, yet still familiar to the people watching the show. And so…that is how the Vista cards were invented! The sign for the cards can be seen in Al’s shoe shop and the cards are occasionally referenced in dialogue. What’s your take on this? Would it have been better if they went with a MoosterCard instead?

Al’s Love For His Dirty Magazines
When we think about the show, we tend to forget that Al was fascinated with ‘Big ‘Uns’ magazine. Al’s shtick included seating himself comfortably in the family living room while reading his dirty magazines, with his wife and children in front of him. Do you think Al ever stopped to consider the fact that Kelly could get featured in a magazine like the ones he enjoyed ‘reading’? Probably not, but that is the reason we like him. The audience were attracted to the show because of that – Al’s secret charm. The fact that he had these little flaws, which were so wrong, made the audience think he was hilarious.
