Is Jay Pritchett, Al Bundy all grown up?

I agree. It's as if he divorced Peggy; therefore, Al became utterly successful and remarried a super hot South American woman with huge, luscious hooters. Sofia Vergara is one fine 40 yr old seenyoura. Anyway, it's almost as if he fulfilled the prophecy that he'd find a big hootered Oriental woman with big 'uns and no vocal cords who could fry a steak like a Texan.

By analogy, then Kelly would be the neurotic blonde housewife and Bud the gay son who finally came out of the closet. Makes sense.

Welcome to the land of no imagination.

Al Bundy and Jay Pritchett are completely different, even opposite characters, and O'Neill plays them differently. If you don't see that, you're dumb.

Welcome to the land of shut your mouth.

Yes, and in The Searchers, John Wayne was a cowboy in Texas. In Stagecoach, he was a cowboy in Arizona.

Oh, no... if you ask me, they're very different. Al was pretty much HORRIBLE. Let's see: he was intolerant, close-minded, rude to women (especially fat women) and well, just plain nasty most of the times. He was always being mean to everyone, he hated life, he didn't take care of his children and he felt no shame. He wasn't succesful, he didn't have any goals in life and he certainly showed no interest in other people's feeling. Yes, he clearly had his moments of kindness, but most of the times, he was horrible to everyone.

Jay is a mature guy who struggles with a few things that make him different from the rest of the characters on the show. Clearly, he is not as open-minded as the others, but he has a possitive attitude towards the other. He has shown affection and interest in his family, he came around with his son's sexual orientation and he's very affectionate to Manny, as if he was his own son. Also, Jay seems to be succesful in his business since he owns a really nice house, which wasn't Al's case.

I think Jay is way nicer than Al. If "Married...with Children" was still on tv, I'm sure Al would be even MORE horrible than he was when the show started.
