I think there should be at least 1 or 2 Married with Children spinoffs but I'd prefer a spinoff of the show called 'Kelly' in which Kelly is married with a daughter named Carol

Spinoff of NO MAAM

Moonlit_Suburb · 04-10-2004, 02:12 PM

There actually WAS a Married with Children spin-off that aired in 1991. It was called Top of the Heap, and it only lasted a few months. I remember watching this show every week on Fox, while it lasted, but apparently, not many others remember it. Whenever I bring it up in conversation, people think i'm making it up

I can assure you, it existed. Check out the Top of the Heap links below...

I think that they should've made an episode where Kelly gets a job at the nudie bar,and gets fired because of Al

There was a show starring Matt Leblanc called "Top Of The Heap" and i think Matt was supposedly a friend of one of the Bundy's. The show only lasted a couple of months but the producers changed the name of the show to give it another try so it was renamed "Vinny and Bobby" because Matt's charachter was named Vinny. in "Top" he moved into an apartment and sexy Joey Lauren Adams played a neighbor and she was always coming by flirting with Matt and the audience would go crazy everytime she entered the room. Anyway when it was renamed Vinny and Bobby, Vinny moved in with his dad or a friend or something like that and the first episode it was revealed that Joey Lauren Adams charachter moved to his new place so she could start flirting with him again. It seems like Vinnie's charachter did not like her bugging her a lot so he kept trying to get rid of her or something like that. it has been 10 years at least sonce i have seen both shows though. anyway Vinnie and Bobby didn't last long either. that also lasted just a couple of months.

Yes,it was the same episode where Al was looking for a certain song.Then Vinnie(Matt Le Blanc) accidently broke Al's record that he bought

Matt Leblanc played Vinny on an episode and dated Kelly. that's how the spin-off shows of "Top Of The Heap" and "Vinny And Bobby" became.

The episodes Top of the Heap, Radio Free Trumaine, and Enemies were meant to be spin-offs.

Top of the Heap was the only episode of the three to get its own show. It was notable as an early sitcom starring Matt LeBlanc. The show was about Vinnie Verducci (played by LeBlanc) and his father Charlie (played by Joseph Bologna) always trying get rich quick schemes. The Verduccis were introduced in an earlier episode where Vinnie dated Kelly Bundy, and Charlie was introduced as an old friend of Al Bundy's. The end of the pilot episode shows Al breaking into their apartment and stealing their TV to replace the one he lost betting on Vinnie in a boxing match. However, the show didn't last long and was ultimately cancelled. It had its own spin-off called "Vinnie and Bobby" a year later which was also canceled.

Radio Free Trumaine was to be about Bud Bundy's time in college with the campus radio station, with Steve Rhoades as the antagonistic Dean. The episode co-starred Keri Russell.

Enemies was a Friends clone, featuring Alan Thicke, based on Kelly Bundy's social circle.

In addition to those three spin-offs, a spin-off about Kelly Bundy was planned but never made for two reasons: Christina Applegate turned it down, and Fox's contract stated that the two Bundy children couldn't get spin-offs. Also, series co-creator Michael G. Moye proposed a NO MA'AM spin-off, but got turned down mainly due to Fox's fears of alienating much of the female demographic.

If you ask me, they should have included all the Top of the Heap episodes in the Season 5 set, or as an extra with the complete series set.
