And no toilet. And why the kids were packed three to a room while Mike had a den you could park an aircraft carrier in all to himself. And where Alice slept, in the washing machine maybe? And…

Personally, I think the show got a PG rating because of Greg and Marcia. Sometimes I wonder if they had to throw the actors playing those two roles in a cold shower so they could continue filming…

Except he was talking about an episode of the television show, not the movie.
