Shoe Boxes and Store Props  ( https://www.daz3d.com/shoe-boxes-and-store-props )

And now a few words from the man himself ...

"Sure selling shoes is fun. But behind the glamour, it's like any other minimum wage slow death"

"I work in a shoe store and still I'm not happy to come home"

"These are sevens. The box says nine because well... lady, you're a nine. Now I can accept that. Why can't you?"

"We're closed and, much like my life, the day is over"

Now render that!

    Hehe Thanks!

    Reminded me of a joke my dad use to pull. The lady walks into her local shoestore and the shopkeeper greets her and says: "Shall we aim for the correct size directly or should we do as usual, work our way to the size slowly in small steps?"

    now we need shoe box poses for DAZ shoes

    The trick I used for the promos:
    Add shoes, two of they come as one item with left+right, and hide one of each, or add tw separate- Put them into a group, then manipulate the group to get them to fit into the boxes.

  • Lots and lots of classic episodes in that series. I remember at the time how shocked I was that they were allowed to get away with their content. My best friend and I used to set aside time every Sunday night to make sure and watch married with children.
  • Incidentally I have that exact tile from the shoe store floor in my bathroom. It was in my kitchen as well before we remodeled. We were going to just fix up the kitchen tile, but we soon discovered that our ubiquitous tile was anything but ubiquitous when it came to buying it. When I first bought it 20 years ago oh, you could get it anywhere. And apparently according to various Daz artists, they have also seen it everywhere. But the only place we could find to get the tile new was from an outfit that imported from Spain. So our tile that was a bargain 20 years ago how to become a high-priced special buy. Anyway, we opted for wood floors this time. I just couldn't believe it was so hard to find a tile that used to be on everything.

    I am of the mind that you can't re-capture lighting in a bottle. Like Seinfeld, it was good becuase it fit the times and the character chemistry. It is always best to end a series early rather than wait until your numbers drop.

    Al vs Peggy were good, but I liked Al vs Marcy better. Or Al vs Any customer in the shoe store. It really wasn't any more daring than TV & movies going back to the 60s & earlier; the big change was the language was much more crude and the barbs lasted all the show long, not just when Endora or whatever protagonist drops in.

    Love and marriage; Love and marriage; It's an institution you can't disparage ...

    Married For More Than 60 Years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $25, 000. He asked her about the contents.
    “When we were to be married, ” she said, “my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll. ”
    The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.
    “Honey, ” he said, “that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from? ”
    “Oh, ” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.

    Al sure WAS the king.  The actor, Ed O'Neil, has played in a number of other things.  Both "Wreck-it Ralph" and both "Wayne's World" movies.  Wait a minute...did they REALLY make two Wayne's World movies?  Hmm!  Anyway, he was also in Moonlighting, The Equalizer, and a Spenser for Hire episode based on one of the books.  I also saw him in a very early episode of Miami Vice.  He also played a dramatic role as a New York City police detective in a short-lived series called "Big Apple", in which I thought he was very good.

    Bud (the actor, David Faustino) went on to become the firebender Mako in "The Legend of Korra".  He did a great job on that role and maybe in all four seaons there were only two instances where his voice was vaguely "Bud Bundyish".

    I could swear that WAS an Al Bundyism.

    Isn't that what Modern Family is today?

    But he pulled that one a decade or so before Al hit the TV screen ;-)

    What? An Al Bundy thread in the DAZ forums and not a single mention of Big ‘Uns? Could have sworn I have seen one morph/character in the store worthy of the name… maybe even two…

    I like to think of both Modern Family and Sons of Anarchy as sequels.

    I can see Modern Family as a successor, even Arrested Development, but I am not certain I would classify SOA along with Married With Children . In SOA, they were a disfunctional family but I didn't find much humour in the show. I wouldn't say it satired the "modern" family.
