( CNN ) -- `` Married ... with Children '' may have ended in 1997 , but that does n't mean we 've seen the last of the Bundys . As originally reported by E ! , there 's a chance that the comedy could return to TV in a new form . Sony Pictures Television , the studio behind the original series , is said to be shopping a pitch for a spinoff series centered on David Faustino 's girl-crazy Bud Bundy . There 's no word yet on the plot of the pitch , or if it will be greenlit by the studio . One popular theory is that the show could follow a grown-up Bud as he deals with a family of his own . It also is n't known if any other characters from the original series would be part of the spinoff , or if any of the original cast members are attached . Faustino , at least , does n't seem opposed to the idea . When he shared news of the pitch on Facebook Thursday , he added in the caption , `` Would be nice , would n't it ? '' `` Married ... with Children '' premiered in 1987 and went on to have 11 seasons , becoming the first prime-time series to air on Fox and one of the network 's first breakout hits . At 259 episodes , it remains the longest running live-action sitcom on the network . The show 's stars have mostly gone on to major projects since the series aired its finale in 1997 . Ed O'Neill is one of the stars of the Emmy-winning `` Modern Family , '' which begins its sixth season September 24 . Katey Sagal has gone on to lead roles in TV hits such as `` Futurama '' and `` 8 Simple Rules , '' and currently stars in the FX drama `` Sons Of Anarchy , '' which kicked off its seventh and final season earlier this month , to record ratings . Christina Applegate has taken prominent parts in comedies such as `` Up All Night '' and `` Samantha Who ? '' as well as scene-stealing performances in the two `` Anchorman '' films . The entire cast recently reunited for Sagal 's Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony . `` Married ... with Children '' is just the latest '90s series that could have a revival . `` Girl Meets World , '' the `` Boy Meets World '' spinoff , has been a success for the Disney Channel and recently got picked up for a second season . And last month , TV Guide reported that a `` Full House '' reboot is in the works with some of the original actors reprising their roles . Reps for Sony Pictures Television would not comment on the reports .
Reports indicate that there 's a spinoff pitch for `` Married ... with Children '' which is currently in development at ABC, but the network has yet to officially announce it. If a spinoff materializes , it would be another hit '90s show to be revived .
