🛋️🐭 In this episode of The Rank Podcast, John returns to his Sitcom Rankings with a review of the classic 1987 sitcom Married... With Children, diving into Season 2, Episode 15 – "Build a Better Mousetrap."
When the Bundys discover a mouse in the house, Al takes matters into his own hands—and predictably makes everything worse. From faulty traps to full-blown household chaos, this episode delivers classic Bundy humor at its most absurd. Meanwhile, Steve and Marcy get pulled into the madness, proving once again that no one escapes the Bundy gravitational pull.
John breaks down the episode’s slapstick charm, its place in the early run of the series, and whether this mousetrap misadventure lands high on his sitcom rankings or gets stomped out.

We hear one of the traps go, youknow, the sounds.
But it's so early in the episode, the plot can't be over
yet, right? Well, it's not.
For the mouse not only got away from the mousetrap, but he has
scornfully pooped on it and eventually pooped in AL's
bowling shoe. And this is when it gets
personal. Now it's personal.
(00:37):
Welcome back to another episode of the Rank.
I'm John and today we're going to be doing another episode of
married with Children where we do a rewatch slash watch along
ranking. We're trying to figure out
what's the best sitcom of all time.
I don't know if married with Children is it, but that's what
we're trying to find out. We're ranking five of them.
Married children is 1. Now.

Now today we're ranking the 15thepisode of the second season of
(01:22):
Married with Children titled Build a Better Mousetrap with a
story by J Stanford Parker, a teleplay by Michael G Moy and
Ron Levitt, and directed by Linda Day.
Now for the sitcoms that have already been out for a long
time, it can be streamed. I mean, this is like a what, 40
year old sitcom? I'm not going to worry about
spoilers. There's going to be spoilers.
That's your alert, I guess. But we always start the episodes
(01:44):
with the potent notables, so let's go.
So this episode aired on Sunday,January 24th, 1988, Married with
Children, a month from a 4.3 rating to a 5.1 Moving up
Married With Children. It beat its lead in Werewolf
this time, which wasn't a rerun this week.
So it's weird that it beat the new show but not a rerun of that
show. Whatever.
(02:04):
So this is the first time I've seen it above A5 in a while, so
it seems like it's starting to build something.
Naturally, it still got destroyed by everything else in
the time slot. Again.
ABC had Earth Star Voyager Part 2 of 2, and there was an
asterisk between Earth and Star,and that was on during The
Wonderful World of Disney, whichgot an 11.1 rating.
NBC was playing Part 1 of The Murderer of Mary Fagan and that
(02:26):
got an 18.7. But the Juggernaut was back on
the air this week. For those of you that haven't
been listening for a while, you may not know what I'm talking
about. For the people who have been
listening, you know that this isAngela Lansbury.
It's it's Murder She Wrote and Murder She Wrote killed the time
slot with a 22.3 rating. Now in the episode, Bud is
(02:47):
reading a book called Know Your Mouse and it's by Mike Seaman or
Semin. I don't know, Seaman's probably
funnier, but Michael Seaman is married with children's prop
master, so that's kind of fun. I'm guessing he put his own name
in there. Now, Patrick Thomas O'Brien
plays Wally in this episode who's an exterminator that comes
in at the end and he's still working as an actor.
(03:08):
He has 112 credits on IMDb. And I always think it's fun to
highlight these character actorsbecause I think we get, we think
of actors as being the stars of these shows, right?
But this guy has made a career in acting and you wouldn't know
him if he was talking to you. It's sort of impressive to make
a career in such a high profile profession and retain your
anonymity. Probably his most famous role is
Mr. Dewey and Saved by the Bell.He said that he got into acting
(03:30):
when he became an altar boy. Quote.
You have costumes and lines and blocking and star of the show,
the priest and the almighty reviewer End Quote.
His first big break was when he visited a friend in New York
City. He flew from Minnesota and she
was working as a musician for a Broadway show and she said, hey,
they're auditioning you should try out.
So he did and then he flew back to Minnesota and lo and behold,
(03:51):
he gets a call that they wanted to have him and it was the the
show was Midsummer Night's Dreamwith Christine Baranski and
William Hurt. So he ended up getting an agent
after that and his his career sort of took off.
As for the Married with Childrenepisode, this episode, what he
said about it was quote, that was fun to do.
The crowd got into it. They got into it too much.
End Quote. That was actually about Married
to the Children in general because he he does 2 episodes of
(04:12):
Married to the Children. So he's going to come on again
at some point. Now, According to him, Ed
O'Neill felt that the audience became so intrusive that you
couldn't get into a rhythm, but he said it wasn't like that in
the first episode he did, but the second one, it was a little
too much about Christina Applegate.
He said, quote, people ask who are some of your favorite stars
that you work with? She was great.
I mean, she's just so talented and so subtle and so funny with
(04:33):
that character. But really nice person.
End Quote. So seems like he had a good
time. I married the children and he
didn't have as good a time on family matters, which he also
did a guest spot on. He basically said that the
actors were resentful of Urkel taking over the show.
Not the actor, just, you know, the storyline of her.
So that was interesting. So let's go to the episode
(04:54):
overview. So we get sort of a slow build
to start this episode. The plot isn't happening right
away. It's just typical Bundy
household antics at first with Kelly hoping for food,
intimating that Peggy doesn't typically cook for her kids.
It does feel like if there was food, Kelly could get it
herself. I mean, she's what, like 16 in
this? Anyway, Peggy goes to the
basement to to hide from Al because she hadn't refilled the
(05:16):
toilet paper and he's got he's got to find some tissues for
wiping. So she's like, oh, he's going to
be in a bad mood and goes and hides.
But interestingly, while there'snot much here at first, it still
made me laugh quite a few times.Like when Kelly says maybe
tomorrow about getting food, youknow, or when Peggy says she's
going shopping, which means she's going to hide in the
(05:36):
basement, apparently. And then Kelly asks her to get
milk and Peggy just laughs at. And when Al finally comes
downstairs, he talks about having a terrible dream about a
huge mosquito, which he describes as looking like Peggy
and that it was sucking all the money from his wallet.
Just, you know, classical Bundy shenanigans.
But it was fun. Then Peggy comes screaming up
from the basement, to which Al says what's the matter?
(05:57):
You see the vacuum? So, so we're having fun here,
you know, sounds fun, but no, she saw a mouse.
And this is when the plot begins.
Al decides he's going to catch and kill the mouse himself.
He starts off with setting up a bunch of traps, even though
Peggy's asked him to call him exterminator.
We hear one of the traps go, youknow the sounds.
But it's so early in the episode, the plot can't be over
yet, right? Well, it's not for the mouse not
(06:18):
only got away from the mousetrap, but he has scornfully
pooped on it and eventually pooped in AL's bowling shoe.
And this is when it gets personal.
Now it's personal. So the next thing we see is the
house full of holes from Al trying to get the mouse that
he's injured, both his thumbs and mouse mishaps, and the mouse
is just outsmarting him, which Peggy never fails to point out.
Eventually, just to make sure weget Amanda Beers and David
(06:40):
Garrison some screen time, he enlists the help of Steve and
even with both of them together,they can't get it done.
The conversation between Marcy and Peggy is enlightening and
crazy. Peggy is tallying up the money
they've spent on damages to the house since Al has gone on his
quest to kill this mouse himself.
And it's $680. Now, earlier in the episode,
like actually in the scene just before this, Peggy says that,
(07:03):
you know, there's a lot of things she's gotten used to from
being with Al, like poverty. She lists poverty as one of
them. And it feels like the writers
might not know what poverty is because they have a house and a
car, and they have enough saved up that they can afford to deal
with $680 in damages. Now maybe poverty Look different
in the mid to late 80s, but thatain't poverty now.
(07:25):
It's so much worse, that's for sure.
Anyway, Al ends up cracking. He dresses like Rambo and brings
a shotgun to the basement, and this is how he will kill the
mouse. He's determined that he's going
to shoot the mouse with a shotgun.
Meanwhile, Peggy has already gone over to the roads to call
an exterminator. She had to because Al had fried
the telephone line in his quest to kill the mouse.
(07:46):
Now, of course, the shotgun doesn't work.
He shoots the furnace, which ends up flooding the basement, I
guess, and hurts his shoulder because of the kickback of the
gun. And we know it's flooding
because shortly after that, Mister Dewey from saved by the
Bell shows up as an exterminatorand gets the mouse in like 2
seconds. And they're how did you get him
so fast? Well, it was easy because he was
scared and floating on a piece of wood in the in the flooded
(08:07):
basement. So because that's how he got the
mouse, Al is like, well, then technically I got him because
I'm the one who flooded the basement.
I blew up the basement. So I caught the mouse, and
Peggy's urging just lets him have it.
Like, you can. You can have the win, I guess.
But the craziness doesn't end there.
Peggy decides to keep the mouse as a pet, and it goes on the
night stand right next to Al. And that's how we end the
(08:29):
episode, very goofily. Let's find out how it ranked.
So the rank is where I ranked the episode based on five
categories, story, acting, dialogue, episode coherence, and
character relatability. We'll rank it on a scale of one
to five, one being the worst, five being the best.
And then we have a laugh counterwhere we tally up the amount of
times the episode made me laugh and it's one point per laugh out
(08:52):
loud that gets added to the score.
Now the first category is story,and I gave story A4.
This is sort of a classic but very good family comedy sitcom
story. The father slash husband takes
it upon himself to solve the problem and is ineffectual.
Simple and tried and so acting. I gave a 3.75.
This feels like maybe it's low, but everyone was good, not
(09:13):
great. There's not much else to say
here because nobody felt particularly off to me, but I
also wasn't super impressed or anything either.
I don't know, I feel like this is the right score, just
terrible analysis. So there you go.
That's what you come here for right?
So let's go to the next category, which is dialogue.
I gave that a 3.75 S. The dialogue is fun, but not
filled with laughs. It made me smile a bunch, but it
(09:35):
didn't get me. It just didn't get me the whole
way. You know not full laugh very
often. Still though, I found myself
enjoying this episode quite a bit.
It was stupid, but they but theyplayed fun.
All right, so let's go to episode coherence, which I gave
a 4 1/2. Now, maybe this is too high, but
it all seemed to work. The story was simple and
therefore easy to cohere. It's like the best way to handle
a sitcom episode in my opinion. And I'll make it simple.
(09:57):
A simple story that you're that's easy to cohere to.
Nobody should be struggling to follow a story in a sitcom.
The characters all seemed to cohere to what we expect of
them. You know, as far as the series
goes. So that worked.
I think the only reason that it's not necessarily A5 is that
Stevens willingness to help Al in this episode felt a little
off. Not that crazy or anything.
(10:17):
It's only half a point from 5 right?
They seemingly hate each other and yet he always is like
helping with no reserve. So character relatability.
Last category I gave a four. I think it's pretty relatable.
I can understand wanting to solve it yourself.
I can also relate to being so frustrated by the failure that
instead of succumbing, you stubbornly dig in.
I can also relate to Peggy's exasperation.
Ironically, I'm usually the the Peggy in this situation where
(10:40):
I'm like, can we just throw money at this?
Anyway, pretty relatable episodeif if a bit over the top.
So the laugh counter was a 12, which is lower than I usually
get from Married with Children. So it wasn't a laugh riot
episode, but it was fun. It's it's typically the other
way around where where the episode makes me laugh a bunch,
but it's not, you know, particularly good.
So it saves its score that way. And this one, this score is sort
(11:02):
of saved by the fact that it wasa decent episode.
But this puts the total at a 32,which makes them I'd watch it
again now for the series. The average is now at a 33,
which keeps the series as am. I'd watch it again now.
Thanks for listening or watchingeverybody.

Why did Al bring a Redford female mouse in when he was
trying to get rid of the other one?
He knew she'd be able to trap him better than he ever could.
Dude, I don't get it. I don't get it either.
I'm not proud of it, but it's just it's what I can.
(12:00):
Now in the butt in the fucking Jesus.
That's OK, Take your time.
We hear one of the traps go, youknow, the sounds.
But it's so early in the episode, the plot can't be over

(11:02):
of saved by the fact that it wasa decent episode.

which keeps the series as am. I'd watch it again now.
Thanks for listening or watchingeverybody.
