It’s been more than 17 years since Married… with Children went off the air but now one of Bundy’s may be coming back to television.
According to E!, Sony Pictures Television is shopping a spin-off of the FOX series which would revolve around son Bud Bundy, as played by David Faustino. No word on if any of the other castmembers would be involved in some way.
Ed O’Neill, Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate and Faustino reunited earlier this week in Hollywood where Sagal was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her star is right next to O’Neill’s. Here’s the ceremony:
At the ceremonies, Sagal said, “We’ve talked about [a reunion] every year, but then there are so many pieces that have to be in alignment that for some reason it never happens… But we love each other. Well, we’re all working now, so it’s hard to find the time!”
The cast did reunite for a special project in 2009.
What do you think? Would you be interested in seeing a spin-off or reunion?
Watch Star-ving on Crackle…it already happened and it sucked, so NO, i would not want to see a Bud Bundy Spin off

I say give Bud Bundy a show! When Sunday night’s rolled around in the late 80’s and early 90’s, I always dreaded getting up the next morning and going to my crappy job. But I could always make myself feel better by watching Married With Children before I went to bed. Al and Peggy made my life seen great by comparison. I know it was considered raunchy at the time, but the Bundys had better family values than most other sitcom families of that time (Roseanne,etc.) They may not have been rich, but Al always worked (maybe not very hard)… Read more »
It wouldn’t be the first spinoff. Would be the fifth, although I believe the third to actually make it to air if it happened. First was “Top of the Heap”, which itself had a short lived spinoff called “Vinny & Bobby”. They tried with a concept called “Radio Free Trumaine”, which would have featured the return of original MWC cast member Steve Rhoades, but it didn’t get past the pilot. Trumaine would have had Keri Russell, too. Same for a concept called “Enemies”. Didn’t get past pilot. I’ll watch, given the pedigree, but it would have to be really good… Read more »
