Though Kelly (Christina Applegate) loses an audition for a sitcom role, the producer (George Wyner) is impressed by her impromptu description of the Bundy clan. As a result, the sitcom is rewritten to resemble a certain extremely popular Fox series about a dysfunctional family living in Chicago--and take a look at that cast! Inside jokes abound in this classic entry, including a pointed reference to housewife-activist Terry Rakolta, a swipe at the Fox network's low-power UHF affiliate lineup, and a clever amalgam of the names of series creators Ronald Leavitt and Michael G. Moye.
