Marcy Wakes Up With A Stranger! | Married With Children

[@somosgenel]

The character transition from Steve to Jefferson was smooth. Both of these two characters are hilarious in their own way.

[@FriendlyCroock]

Steve was boring and annoying at times.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

It's a classic example of maximizing the limits of a given actor. In this case, David Garrison is a much better actor than Ted McGinley but they made the teleplay perfectly match what Ted was capable of, blended to the rest of the cast, and didn't try to overstretch it.

Steve was the annoying neighbor while Jeffreson was more of a friend of Al.

[@Puschit1]

What I find astounding: His gestures, facial expressions and all that were spot on from the beginning! He didn't have to evolve the character or to find into it, he didn't even seem to be nervous (wouldn't even have been a problem because his character could be nervous here) - he just WAS Jefferson from the first episode he was in! The show was lowbrow in many ways but the writing AND the actors were top notch, all of them!

[@redacted2275]

Nah, Al was happy before... in fact, he interacted more with Peggy in Steve's era: jokes, jabs at Marcy, actual sarcastic conversations... he was more of a dad to his children and he was happy to be in his own way... in the end Steve, among other things, became so much like Al he dropped Marcy. I like them both, too different to compare. The changes were not only on character replacement, it was on the whole structure of the series: Marcy's personality changed, her marriage hierarchy changed, Al changed because Jefferson is more like him plus the children were growing up... Kelly's character changed dramatically, for example.

[@martinb.770]

I like Steves humor and facial expressions, quite as much. The comeback (when he stole the egg, or in the pirate episode) showed how much he extended the spectrum. Jefferson did a good job with the joke lines going to the No ma'am direction and more running gags, while giving Marcy a lot of opportunities to play the feminist card while still being needy.
