>a shoe salesman can afford a 4 bedroom house and family in the chicago suburbs
Am I really supposed to believe this shit?
Since you're probably too underaged to know how buying a house works let me enlighten you.
If Al had a downpayment, which could easily be something his parents left him or he inherited it otherwise or saved up before marriage, the actual monthly payment to pay off the house could be well within his means.
Also it is established in the show they have nothing to eat and his kids are basically bums.

3 bedroom. Only 1 bath till Al added one.

>son goes to fridge to get milk
>"Damn, they forget to get more milk"
>Takes carton to tap, refills it with water
>They have more milk
They were poor as Kenny.
But still funny as fuck
What's more unrealistic is that Bud and Christina Applegate never had sex

>it's unrealistic that a 12/10 didn't have sex with her 5'3" younger brother

Oh no only one bath, how will they ever cope
>>84602666

A one bathroom house is pretty poorfag.

Stop making bullshit excuses. A mortgage, property taxes, heat, electric, maintenance. Add buying food and clothes, etc, for the wife and two kids. Oh and health insurance.
Yeah, no way Al made even 1/3 he would need to make to support all that.
It's TV bullshit.

They probably shoplifted clothes. They didn't have cable till Jefferson was in the show.

There were 3 floors bud moved to the basement at some point after I think he shared a room with Kelly.

Older houses were built like that so it's just a question of age. People back then weren't as stupid that they needed three bathrooms in a four bedroom house. I get that an additional guest bathroom with just a toilet is useful but even then you can live without it.
I grew up in a house from 1935 with just one bathroom (even that was only added in the 50s or so) and it was rarely a problem. Over 1000 m^2 of garden though so I wouldn't call it poorfag.

>getting hung up on the reality gaps in married with children
The show was a fucking live action looney tunes.
>>84602303
My immigrant parents rented the fucking closet in my room ffs
On top of renting another room in the house that probably has a name (like study, pantry or something. I wouldn't know I grew up poor asf) And the garage
Now that's poor, classless and cheap

I guess you didn't also grow up with a teenage sister who would spend half the day in there grooming, showering, doing hair and makeup. and only at times when you really gotta go
>>84603396
You never tried to beat her up? I mean it wouldn't be normal if you didn't
But then stopped after your parents whooped your ass
