“A Terribly Nice Family” is apparently getting a remake: The sitcom is to come back as an animated series.

“A Terribly Nice Family” is set to return to screens. The US industry portal “Deadline” reportsthat the ’90s sitcom should get an animated remake – with the original cast. The new version with the stars Katey Sagal (68), Ed O’Neill (76), Christina Applegate (50) and David Faustino (48) is said to be offered to both broadcasters and streaming services.

The original series ran from 1987 to 1997 in eleven seasons and developed into a cult series. According to “Deadline”, the new edition comes from “Family Guy” producer Alex Carter, who will also act as showrunner. “A Terribly Nice Family” revolved around the Bundy family of Chicago — Al Bundy (O’Neill), a misogynistic women’s shoe salesman, his lazy wife Peggy (Sagal), and their children, Kelly (Applegate) and Bud (Faustino).

New edition long in planning

According to the report, there have been talks about a reboot or spin-off of the series for years, but so far it has not worked out due to scheduling problems. Later, the idea for an animated series is said to have arisen because it would be less time-consuming for the actors involved “and could still contain some characteristic elements of the original series, such as the famous theme song ‘Love and Marriage’ by Frank Sinatra,” says Deadline “. The sitcom “Good Times”, which ran from 1974 to 1979, is also getting an animated remake that is to be released on Netflix.
