Russ Abbot is no Ed O'Neill.

TV You've probably forgotten this. I'd forgotten this. In 1996, ITV attempted a remake of Married With Children which they'd already been showing late night (before they began filling the post prime time period with QVC and tv quizzes).

  Married for Life starring Russ Abbot ran for seven episodes and is predictably awful and just to show how messy careers can be, oh look it's Hugh Bonneville playing his neighbour (with Julie Dawn Cole whose first screen role was Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,  as his wife):



The opening credits attempted to recreate the US original. Russ Abbot is no Ed O'Neill.
