Fox 25th Anniversary Special To Include Married With Children Cast Reunion

Fox’s 25th birthday is approaching, and the network isn’t letting it pass by without a celebration. Fox announced today that they have a anniversary special in the works. While the host is pending, it does include a reunion of the stars of the beloved (by some of us, anyway) sitcom Married with Children.

Fox’s first signal transmission took place on April 5, 1987. To celebrate the anniversary, the network is airing Fox’s 25th Anniversary Special, which is actually set for Sunday, April 22 at 8:00 p.m., taking over the Animation Domination time-slot for a night. In addition to bringing Married with Children’s Ed O’Neill, Christina Applegate, Katey Sagal, and David Faustino back together to salute the comedy series, other former Fox stars, including X-Files’ David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson & Chris Carter, Beverly Hills, 90210’s Shannen Doherty, Jason Priestly, Gabrielle Carteris & Ian Ziering, Ally McBeal’s Calista Flockhart, and The Tick’s Patrick Warburton are also set to appear on the special.

A host has yet to be announced, and there may be more talent set to join the line-up between now and then. Would it be too much to hope that the cast of Firefly would crash? Probably. Regardless, I was sold at Married with Children, but over all this special, which is set to pay tribute to the network’s memorable moments over the years, sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun.

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
