A Fraud
There are just some facts that are simply too weird that we may never completely understand how and why they came to be that way. The Bundy’s well-known ‘mighty Dodge’ wasn’t actually a Dodge. It was, in fact, a Plymouth Duster whose top was vinyl. Al, however, would call it a Dodge despite it being a Plymouth. Aside from the fact that only one company owns both cars, which actually look similar to each other, we have no idea what went on here.
Real Life
There’s nothing better than going deep on research and studying about the future character you are playing in a place that is very dear to you – your family, obviously. While Ed O’Neill was preparing for his role on the show by doing some research and practicing for it, he, in fact, came across the biggest inspiration for the character Al Bundy within his family. His Uncle Joe was the model for Ed O’Neill’s Al Bundy. Both Ed’s uncle and the show’s character shared many similar characteristics. We can only imagine what those were exactly.
