[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Married... with Children?

Rewatched Married... with Children last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Married... with Children actually is?

Just got out of Married... with Children and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Married... with Children?

Director clearly thought Married... with Children was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
