Married... with Children: Radio Free Trumaine (1995)
Season 9, Episode 26
Another lame attempt at a spin-off.
8 January 2023
Having failed with spin-off show Vinnie and Bobby, the MWC team try their luck again with this backdoor pilot for a new show revolving around a campus radio station. It failed as well.

Things starts off okay, with Bud scoring a date with babe April (Keri Russell). Unfortunately for Bud, the college's new star basketball player Nikolai Pushkin (Timothy Elwell) also wishes to date April, causing a dilemma for the girl: hot athlete or cute loser.

The show then focusses on college DJs Oliver and Mark (Eric Dane and Andrew Kavovit), who find themselves expelled when they stray from the list of approved questions while interviewing the new dean, Steve Rhoades. Marcy incites protest at the situation, but the guys are reinstated when they turn on the microphone while Bud and Nikolai are fighting to win the affection of April. The broadcast is a massive success, unlike this episode, which feels exactly like the lame attempt at introducing a naff new show with irritating characters that it undeniably is.
