There's going to be an animated "Married... with Children" TV series. And before you ask, yes, the original Bundys are coming back.
Ed O'Neill (Al), Katey Segal (Peggy), Christina Applegate (Kelly), and David Faustino (Bud) are all on board.
There's no word where it would air. The original series that aired from '87 to '97 on Fox can currently be found on Hulu, Peacock, and Pluto TV.
This isn't the first time Sony has tried to revive the series. Back in 2014, they tried to do a spinoff about Bud Bundy . . . to no avail. So stay tuned.

Watch a lot of TV? Well, so does the rest of America. In fact, Nielsen says we've watched OVER 4 TRILLION minutes worth between September 20th of last year to May 8th.
The broadcasters and streamers analyzed were: CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, and Disney+. So this doesn't even take HBO Max, or other channels like the CW or Showtime into account.
Of course, Netflix reigned supreme with 1.33 trillion minutes . . . while CBS was a VERY distant second with 752.8 billion. Here are the total results:
1. Netflix . . . 1.33 trillion minutes
2. CBS . . . 752.8 billion minutes

Tucker Carlson (who is reprehensible) has made an enemy out of the BTS Army after he spoke out against the K-pop group’s May 31 appearance at the White House. The group addressed the press and spoke with President Joe Biden about Asian inclusion and representation to mark the final day of Asian American and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month.
“Things have gotten very bad for Joe Biden, both public-facing and internally,” Carlson told viewers of his eponymous Fox News show. “What are they doing about it? Well, they broke glass in case of emergency and invited a Korean pop group to speak at the White House today.”
Carlson threw to a clip of BTS member RM addressing press at the White House. “Hi, we’re BTS and it is a great honor to be invited to the White House today to discuss the important issues of anti-Asian hate crimes, Asian inclusion and diversity,” the singer said.
“Yeah, so we got a Korean pop group to discuss anti-Asian hate crimes in the United States. Okay. Good job, guys,” Carlson quipped.
The BTS army was quick to push back against Carlson on social media, flooding the social media platform with memes and calls for Carlson’s head. As one Twitter user noted, “So it will be K-Pop fans who finally bring [Tucker Carlson] down.”

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - The "red phone" that's a direct connection from the Pentagon to Russia has never been red OR a phone. It was originally a teletype machine . . . then a fax machine . . . and now it's an email account.
