Four new episodes have been commissioned by Disney Branded Television, but a release date has not been announced yet.

The show was extremely successful when it first aired, contributing significantly to the rise of single-camera comedies on TV. Throughout its duration, it amassed 33 Emmy nominations, eventually taking home seven awards. Among these were two accolades for Cloris Leachman in the category of best guest actress in a comedy series, as well as two wins each for directing and writing in a comedy series.
