Buck was the family dog. Marcy's husband authorized a loan to finance one of Al's get-rich-quick schemes and, when Al couldn't repay it, Steve lost his job at the bank. After months of unemployment he left Marcy to become a park ranger. A year later Marcy found herself married to Jefferson D'Arcy, a guy she had met during a drinking binge. Jefferson never had a job. He just lived off his wife's earnings as a banker. Kelly, the blond sexpot with an IQ as low as her hemlines were high, somehow managed to graduate from high school but, despite making a little money as a model, continued to live at home. Bud, who was eleven years old when the series began in 1987, was constantly trying to lose his virginity, something he would not accomplish until 1994. (Tim's TV Showcase)
