SAUCE

The Bundys are coming back to television! E! reports this morning that a new take on "Married... With Children" is in the works with plans for a spinoff series to follow the life of David Faustino's Bud Bundy and, presumably, his new family.

Sony Pictures Television is said to be in the pitch process for the series at the moment with no confirmation as of yet as to who else might return.

"Married... With Children" was created by Ron Leavitt and Michael G. Moye and premiered in 1987, running an impressive 11 seasons. It stars Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy, the begrudging patriarch of a modern-day dysfunctional family with Katey Sagal playing his wife, Peggy, Christina Applegate his daughter, Kelly and Faustino his son, Bud.

"Married... With Children" follows rebooted series like "Girl Meets World" and the upcoming "Full House" as part of an ongoing wave of nostalgia-fueled small screen fare.

TV reboots to be the next in thing?

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Unless this is a cable show pass.

The TV era that Married with Children lived in is long dead. Not interested in a safe "remember when" sequel series.

 

[zruben]

Bud Bundy was the worst Bundy.

 

[El Topo]

Grandmaster B with is own TV show? Sure, why not?

 

[stufte]

Bud Bundy was the worst Bundy.

.

 

[railGUN]

I'd give it a shot, it's a great setup.

 

[out0v0rder]

bud already has a spinoff show, its called modern family. he changed his name to mitch and turned gay because he never ended up getting with any ladies.

 

[Blablurn]

Why not? I'm a 80s/ 90s kid and I don't mind.

 

[The Omega Man]

Only episodes people will watch is when Bud's original family guest stars. I'll give it one season

 

[goldenpp72]

Any chance of it not being a watered down shit fest? The later seasons had their issues (the kid) but this is a show I think can't really be recreated in todays climate..

 

[Grizzo]

oh please don't do that, leave that show and its legacy alone.

It's like what they tried to do with Joey. What an awful show that was.

 

[theechrisfox]

TV execs need some new ideas.

 

[Revolver]

If it's on say FX and in the same vein as It's Always Sunny or the League I'll give it a shot.

 

[Penguin]

TV reboots to be the next in thing?

Seems to be the thing

Girl Meets World

Rumored Full House

Now this

 

[masud]

oh please don't do that, leave that show and its legacy alone.

It's like what they tried to do with Joey. What an awful show that was.

But Fraiser?

 

[entremet]

No laugh track plz.

 

[Camwi]

Bud Bundy was the worst Bundy.

Bud was awesome, you heathen.

 

[Danielsan]

No Al, no sale.

 

[FaintDeftone]

Married with Children is probably my favorite sitcom ever... but I don't know how I feel about this.

How is that Girl Meets World spinoff show doing, just out of curiosity? That working out for Fred Savage's brother and Topanga?

 

[LQX]

Bud Bundy was the worst Bundy.

Speaking of Bud, here is recent photo of him.....

Dude looks as old as Al.

 

[Ovid]

I can see this working.

 

[Verdre]

Please no.

 

[Firemind]

Where are the Al miserable gifs. I am disappointed, GAF.

 

[Grizzo]

But Fraiser?

well yeah, but Frasier came out soon after Cheers ended. Mind you, Joey aired soon after Friends ended too.

But Married With Children ended like 16 years ago... I don't know how they're gonna be able to capture what made it so great.

 

[sfedai0]

What the hell happened to Fasutino's face? That Botox working overtime.

 

[BronsonLee]

In related news, David Faustino is fucking stoked

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Please no.

 

[botty]

which watch for a llllllllllll

 

[sixteen-bit]

In related news, David Faustino is fucking stoked

Wouldn't you be?

 

[LycanXIII]

Just give him a role in Modern Family.

 

[nasax]

Wait, Full House is being rebooted too? Oy vey.

 

[Jarrod38]

GrandMaster B for life

 

[captmcblack]

This show can't work on network TV in safe, PC America.

...at least, not in the style/context it existed in back in the late 80s/early 90s.

That said, if it comes out I'll watch it.

 

[BotoxAgent]

So it's this show?

 

[Trojita]

Speaking of Bud, here is recent photo of him.....

Dude looks as old as Al.

Dave Franco's been through some tough stuff recently.

 

[Raptomex]

NO MA'AM: The Show

 

[BFIB]

*toilet flush

 

[Joni]

Awesome! I love this wave of nostalgia, especially when they involve the original actors.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

A shame Uncle Phil died because Fresh Prince would be one of a few "updates" I would like to see.

I agree. It was mature context for its time. Even the other show with the bunny and the spinoff with the Father/Son( Matt Leblanc) who made an appearance in the show bombed. Ill see it either way.

 

[johnsmith]

The fact that Katey Sagal has never been a guest star on Modern Family is a crime.

 

[CountAntonius]

I'm happy Bud would be getting work.

 

[Suite Pee]

Well, I guess they can afford him.

 

[funkystudent]

No Ma'am

 

[Zoe]

Maybe if FXX... larrydavid.gif

Just give him a role in Modern Family.

Hasn't he already been on there?

 

[Fantasmo]

I thought David became successful outside of MwC. Why lower himself?

Maybe it'll be good but David was great as Bud, but he's no Al!

 

[Grizzo]

The fact that Katey Sagal has never been a guest star on Modern Family is a crime.

especially considering that Ed O'Neill has been a guest on 8 Simple Rules (where Katey played one of the lead roles)

 

[LycanXIII]

Maybe if FXX... larrydavid.gif



Hasn't he already been on there?

Oh, you're right. He was in one last year.

 

[cacildo]

Recently i heard that David Faustino really tried to be a real rapper in the 90s
