NO MA'AM
For seven Married... with Children seasons, Al and his friends suffered from their wives' and other women's oppression as opposed to their idea of a perfect world. In early episode 0106, Al expresses his anachronistic vision like that: "It used to be so great to be a man. Women were there to please us. They'd look after the kids and we go out and have a good time. That's the natural order of things."
But when some feminists took away these men's bowling night in episode 0809 (NO MA'AM), Al and his friends founded NO MA'AM, the "National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood". Its purpose is to fight the increasing power of women all over society (and to bowl and drink beer of course). They do things like founding a baseball league (0911), fighting for a TV series (0913/914) or founding a church (1004). Hardcore members of NO MA'AM are Al, Jefferson, Bob Rooney, Griff, Ike and Officer Dan. There were also other members in most of the episodes with NO MA'AM, though. Bud tried to join the club in 1007, but he didn't succeed. NO MA'AM's official beer is "Girlie Girl" (0921, 1004).

Al is described on a special page about Al Bundy.
Jefferson, NO MA'AM's minute taker (821, 911, 1004), is described on the page about the Bundys' neighbours.
Griff (picture) is Al's sidekick at the shoe store from episode 904 on. He became a NO MA'AM member in 911. He's divorced (mentioned in ep. 904, 905, 911, 1007) and wife got his last name, so he's just called Griff (1114). The only time he mentions something like a last name was in episode 1025, when he called a sports call-in show [Griff: Hello, this is Griff. Announcer: And what's your last name, brother? Griff: Er... X. Griff X. Announcer: You're a Muslim, as in Malcolm X? Griff: No, as in "screwed over by the ex".].

Just like Al he attended Polk High and played with him in the same football team (910). Bob Rooney's name is spelt the wrong way in 924. The actor who plays him is E.E. Bell who has an own website. E.E. Bell described his part's name like this: "The characters name was Bob Rooney. The theory [of MwC producer Kim Weiskopf] was that in every neighborhood in the midwest of the U.S. there is one guy all the
