Editing Married... with Children (section)

== Spin-offs ==
''[[Top of the Heap]]'' was a 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 did not last long and was ultimately cancelled. It had its own spin-off/sequel called ''[[Vinnie & Bobby]]'' a year later, which was also cancelled.

Also, an attempt was made to make a spin-off out of [[David Garrison]]'s Steve Rhoades character which took place on Bud's Trumaine University. The spin-off was called ''Radio Free Trumaine'' where Garrison played the Dean.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0642354/|title="Married with Children" Radio Free Trumaine (TV Episode 1995)|work=IMDb}}</ref> ''Enemies'' was another spin-off, but played to be a spoof on the TV series ''[[Friends]]''. Meanwhile, a proposed series focusing on the NO MA'AM group without Al Bundy was outright rejected by Fox over fears of [[misogyny]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://splitsider.com/2011/06/the-lost-roles-of-married%E2%80%A6-with-children|title=The Lost Roles of Married… with Children - Splitsider|work=Splitsider|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141214102028/http://splitsider.com/2011/06/the-lost-roles-of-married%E2%80%A6-with-children/|archive-date=2014-12-14}}</ref>
