Maiden Name
We don’t intend to be impolite, but it’s completely true and rather unbelievable. Prior to getting married, Peggy’s surname was actually, well, Wanker. Today, the swear word might be an example of British slang, but it wasn’t used like that in 1987 during the time the show first aired. We get the feeling that had the producers been able to fast forward the airing of the show to today, Peggy’s maiden name wouldn’t have made it out of the writers’ room.

Storyline
In 1991, there was a film called Dutch where Ed O’Neill starred as a man who belongs to the working class. He volunteers to pick up his girlfriend’s child from school to get a chance to know the boy better. From there, everything goes downhill. There were two instances the film was mentioned on the show. The first one was a scene with Al on an airplane. The second was when Al and wife Peggy were renting a movie they could watch when they got home.
