== International remakes == === Armenia === An Armenian remake was made in 2016, called ''[[The Azizyans]]''. The Azizyans is an Armenian sitcom television series developed by Robert Martirosyan and Van Grigoryan. The series premiered on [[Armenia TV]] on October 31, 2016. However, the series was not available to the public until Armenia TV started airing the sitcom from October 10, 2017. The series takes place in [[Yerevan]], [[Armenia]]. The Azizyans sitcom is starred by [[Hayk Marutyan]]. He embodies the character of Garnik Azizyan – a clothes store seller, who is the only one working in the family. Mrs. Ruzan Azizyan is lazy enough to perform the duties of a housewife. The problems of the father of the family do not bother his 3 children – his daughter, who is internet-addicted and is active in all social networks; his unemployed eldest son, who is a complete loser, and his youngest son, who is a schoolboy. The roles in this sitcom, created for family watching, are played by Ani Lupe, Satenik Hazaryan, Ishkhan Gharibyan, Suren Arustamyan and other popular Armenian actors. The project is directed by Arman Marutyan. In the second season of the sitcom, the Azizyan family continues to survive thanks to the meager salary of Garnik. The wife of Garnik – Ruzan, remains in the status of a housewife, without even thinking about finding a job. The elder son of Garnik and Ruzan – Azat, continues to look for a new job, a young man appears in the life of Marie, who is trying to win the girl's heart. Their younger son Levon, continues to live his own life and does not understand what he has in common with this family. And their neighbors Irina and Alik continue to be friends with the family, which the Azizyans do not quite approve. The only bright spot in the life of the family is their house, which Garnik inherited from his grandfather. === Argentina === An Argentine remake was made by [[Telefe]] in 2005, called ''[[Casados con Hijos (Argentine TV series)|Casados con Hijos]]''. Two seasons were made (2005 and 2006), totaling 215 episodes and it became a smashing success during the replaying. More than fifteen years after the release, it is still aired on Saturdays at 7:30 pm.<ref>{{cite web |title=Casados con hijos |url=http://www.telefe.com/programas/casados-con-hijos/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120530050452/http://www.telefe.com/programas/casados-con-hijos/ |archive-date=May 30, 2012| language=es}}</ref> The series has been also shown by local channels in [[Uruguay]], [[Paraguay]], and [[Peru]].

This, however, was not enough to maintain the series, so it was cancelled after one season with 26 episodes. The remake used the exact translated scripts of the original series (which already substituted [[Language localization|localised]] humour and in-jokes for incomprehensible references to American TV shows not shown in Germany, as well as some totally different jokes) and just renamed places and people according to the new setting.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Hendrik Ternieden, Oliver Trenkamp |url=https://www.spiegel.de/geschichte/20-jahre-al-bundy-in-deutschland-a-947496.html |title=Al Bundy in Deutschland: Die Hand in der Hose |website=spiegel.de |date=February 23, 2012 |access-date=March 19, 2023 |language=de}}</ref><ref name="quotenmeter.de" /> It had a rerun twice on [[Super RTL]] in 1996 and 1997.<ref name="quotenmeter.de">{{Cite web |author=Christian Richter |url=https://www.quotenmeter.de/n/32542/der-fernsehfriedhof-hilfe-meine-familie-spinnt |title=Der Fernsehfriedhof: "Hilfe, meine Familie spinnt" |website=quotenmeter.de |date=January 15, 2009 |access-date=March 19, 2023 |language=de}}</ref> ''{{lang|de|Hilfe, meine Familie spinnt}}'' was aired from March to December 1993 for 26 episodes.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tvsi.de/comedyserien/hilfe_meine_familie_spinnt.php |title=Hilfe meine Familie spinnt! |website=tvsi.de |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091113121222/http://www.tvsi.de/comedyserien/hilfe_meine_familie_spinnt.php |archive-date=November 13, 2009 |access-date=March 19, 2023 |language=de}}</ref> === Hungary === In 2006, Hungarian TV network [[TV2 (Hungarian TV channel)|TV2]] purchased the license rights including scripts and hired the original producers from Sony Pictures for a remake of the show placed in a Hungarian environment. It was entitled ''{{lang|hu|Egy rém rendes család Budapesten}}''<ref>[[:hu:Egy rém rendes család Budapesten]] {{in lang|hu}}</ref> (in English: ''Married with children in [[Budapest]]'', loan translation: ''A gruesomely decent family in Budapest''). The main story began with the new family called the Bándis inheriting an outskirt house from their American relatives the Bundys. They filmed a whole season of 26 episodes, all of them being remade versions of the plots of the original first seasons. It was the highest budget sitcom ever made in Hungary. First it was aired on Tuesday nights, but was beaten by a new season of ''[[ER (TV series)|ER]]'', then placed to Wednesday nights. The remake lost its viewers, but stayed on the air due to the contract between Sony and TV2.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://index.hu/kultur/media/bundy7904/ |title=Budapestre jön a rém rendes család |first=Szabó |last=Zoltán |date=August 4, 2006 |website=index.hu |language=hu}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://index.hu/kultur/media/mc5808/ |title=Megverte a Vészhelyzet a magyar Rém rendest |date=October 18, 2006 |website=index.hu |language=hu}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://index.hu/kultur/media/rem486/ |title=Magyarország a magyar tahóké! |first=Szabó |last=Zoltán |date=October 17, 2006 |website=index.hu |language=hu}}</ref> Also the Hungarian critics have strongly condemned the [[copyright infringement]] of the original series. They also criticized the lack of quality and the dilettante forcing of the American cliches in [[Eastern Europe]]an (Hungarian) environment.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.origo.hu/teve/20061018bandi.html |title=Bemutatkozott a magyar Al Bundy |website=origo.hu/ |date=October 18, 2006 |language=hu}}</ref> === Israel === The complete American series aired in Israel in the 1990s, with reruns of it ever since.
