Can you believe it's been 23 years since Grounded for Life first aired?! (23 years, 10 months, 12 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Grounded for Life end?
When Grounded for Life came to an end after 5 years in January 2005, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Sean Finnerty (Donal Logue). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Grounded for Life reunion disappoint people?
Grounded for Life aired from 2001-2005 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Logue said he's not sure if Grounded for Life would work today. “I don't want to see old Sean Finnerty,” he told a journalist (Logue turned 58 in February). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Grounded for Life movie?
In a recent interview, Chris Lowell (who played Dean Piramatti between 2001 and 2004) said he can't imagine a Grounded for Life reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Donal Logue has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Grounded for Life movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Grounded for Life film, Arielle Kebbel stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Grounded for Life reboot?
Recasting Grounded for Life for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Grounded for Life reunion, a Grounded for Life movie, or a Grounded for Life reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
