Vinnie & Bobby Information

Vinnie & Bobby is an American sitcom that aired on Fox on Sunday night from May 30, 1992 to September 5, 1992. The series is a spin-off of the 1991 sitcom Top of the Heap, which was itself a spin-off of Married... With Children. Series star Matt LeBlanc played the character of Vinnie Verducci on all three shows, as did Joey Lauren Adams as Mona Mullins, although she only appeared in the backdoor pilot of the Married... With Children episode.

Plot

Set in Chicago, Illinois, the series centers on Vinnie Verducci (Matt LeBlanc), a construction worker, and his roommate, Bobby Grazzo (Robert Torti) who share the same apartment Vinnie and his father once shared, between Top of the Heap and Vinnie & Bobby, father Charlie Verducci (Joseph Bologna) has apparently moved away, Vinnie's cat Fluffy has disappeared, and Bobby is moving his way in and has gotten Vinnie a job at a construction site. Others shown were Mona Mullins (Joey Lauren Adams), their 17-year-old, teenage neighbor, who still holds a crush on Vinnie and is repulsed by new neighbour Bobby. We are also introduced to fellow construction workers Bill Belli (John Pinette) and Stanley (Ron Taylor), who are easily recognised as the two portly construction workers, the only difference being Stanley who is self-described as big and black, with a deep voice. Another construction worker working with the eponymous character is Fred Slacker (Fred Stoller), who is the antithesis of Bill and Stanley, being skinny and scrawny, while holding a crush for no-nonsense, hard talking post-woman, Winnie (Sharyn Leavitt). In the first two episodes we also see Jim Wotowski, nonsensical construction foreman, although he disappears after these two brief appearances.

One theme this show added to its predecessor is at the end of two episodes, the cast would begin an a cappella rendition of a song, for example, in episode 5 the Vinnie, Bobby, Bill, Stanley and Fred begin to sing "Get a Job" by The Silhouettes, before the end credits roll. They also do the same thing with another song in episode 7.

Cast

• Note: The table counts the pilot of Top of the Heap, and the same titled episode of Married.. With Children as two different episodes. Without this change, Mona Mullins would not be in any Married.. With Children episodes and Vinnie Verducci would be in two ("Old Ones But Young'ns" and "Kelly Takes Hollywood: Part 1").
