is a 1991 Fox television sitcom that was spun off from Married... with Children. Lasting for only seven episodes, it was nonetheless (and perhaps sadly) the most successful of three attempted spin-offs from the original series.
focuses on the attempts of two minor Married... with Children characters — Charlie Verducci (Joseph Bologna) and his son Vinny (Matt LeBlanc) — to get rich. Charlie's "master plan" is for Vinnie to marry into a wealthy family; to this end, the two Chicago slum residents try to get into high society. Mona Mullins (Joey Lauren Adams) is a girl from the Verduccis' neighborhood who has a crush on Vinnie, who tries to fend her off. Alixandra Stone (Rita Moreno) is the manager of a country club, and the object of Charlie's affections.
