After re-visiting the first ep last night,I looked forward to catching the second part. Checking the cast list before viewing, I got set for an angelic ep of MWC.
View on the ep:
Originally chosen by the creators to be Al,Sam Kinison gives a tantalising "what if" performance as Al's angel, with Kinison brashly telling Al how much of a dump his life has been, and smoothly hitting the sarcastic exchanges with Ed O'Neill. Continuing to mock the traditional feel-good TV X-Mas special, the script by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt hilariously turns the It's a Wonderful Life outline inside out, with the only "lesson" offered being Al wanting to live in order to make everyone else's lives miserable. Going into a Bizarro World of the family without Al, director Gerry Cohen gives the rest of the family a very funny prim and proper appearance, as they all discover that it's a Bundyful life.
