The marriage is still on, and the children are still around.
Married...With Children appears on its way to receiving an animated revival more than 25 years after it originally went off the air, Deadline reported.
The show, which follows a suburban family always at one another's throats, will see all four members of the Bundy family return.
This includes Ed O’Neill as Al Bundy, Katey Sagal as Peggy Bundy, Christina Applegate as Kelly Bundy and David Faustino as Bud Bundy.
Family Guy executive producer Alex Carter wrote the revival and will serve as showrunner.
The outlet reported that Fox, Hulu and Peacock are considered 'logical destinations' for the animated show.
It's unclear where exactly the animated show will pick up and what the characters will be doing in the series.
Married...With Children's finale wasn't a true finale as the show was canceled after its eleventh season.
It originally aired from 1987 to 1997 for 11 seasons and 259 episodes and helped launch the career of Christine Applegate who has gone on to mainstream success in movies like Anchorman and Bad Moms as well as the critically-acclaimed drama-comedy Dead to Me.
There have been a number of attempts at a Married...With Children spin-off series over the years including one that gained serious traction not too long ago.
Faustino reportedly pitched an idea for a spin-off about six years ago that would've followed his character Bud who has to move back into his old house with his ex-wife and his best friend after Al and Peggy win the lottery and move to Las Vegas.
The show was going to be titled Bud and had the blessing of Married...With Children's creator Michael G. Moye.
Because of their schedules, other actors wouldn't have been able to commit to that spin-off, but Deadline reports the

The first day I took my daughter to a Catholic kindergarten, the principal told us parents to be careful what we let our kids watch on TV. Shows like Married with Children are just awful, she said. At that time, my daughter and I watched Married together at least an hour each night. I looked at my daughter and we both giggled just like Al and Kelly. Yea, right.
What? No Ted Bundy? I hated this pathetic portrayal of a dysfunctional family then and I will hate it now. The attempt to revive a seriously flawed comedy about a ridiculously degenerate family will be a shortlived waste of time and money.
Kelly Bundy was hotter than Rachel (AKA Jennifer Aniston) ever dreamed of being.

No apologetic glug-glugging from this...it goes ba-WOOSH!
Peg: "What's wrong with that"?
Al: "They said Tuesday"
I found it funny (with a dark edge, yes) at the time, but I didn’t quite “get” it. Like, why was this bunch of people together?
Years later, when the the anniversary special aired and they explained the backstory (Al was supposed to go to college on a football scholarship before his got his girlfriend Peg pregnant), THEN it made sense.
I’m worried about any Hollywood remakes circa the 2020’s; do they even know how to make a non-woke, non-politicized series anymore?
Lie when your wife is waking.
Lie when your belly’s aching.
Lie when you know she’s faking.
Lie, sell shoes and lie.
I want a cartoon version of “Psycho Dad”.
Liked the show, Cartoon version? Nope. Cartoons are for kids. Re-runs will do.
Imagination to create new things is dead so they go back to the past.
If this show is like the real one, it won’t last without wokey crap because someone will be offended.
I doubt it.
We'll see I guess.

Peggy;” Hi Al, didja miss me”?
Al; “ With every shot so far.”
I have a friend who is Al Bundy personified. He even looks a lot like him.
But like many TV shows, it went past its sell-by date. The last few seasons became repetitive, mostly T&A fests, and not particularly funny.
Married With Children: 10 Things About Al That Would Never Fly Today
“Married With Children’s Al Bundy is at the center of the family and they revolve around him. But he was deplorable in many ways, as this list shows.”

If thy did an animation of Biden what would they call it?.

Not sure how this will work…
PC/Cancel culture will take away 80-90% of the standard comedy that made up this show.
Kelly Bundy was hotter than Rachel (AKA Jennifer Aniston) ever dreamed of being.
Agreed. Christina Applegate played Rachel’s sister on Friends and there is no comparison, Applegate is hotter.
