Vinnie & Bobby Are Top Of The Heap

Matt LeBlanc’s Less Famous Spin-Off (And Its Spin-Off)

This one is spin-offs of spin-offs, and it’s spin-offs all the way down. Top Of The Heap was a spin-off from Married … With Children.

Top Of The Heap took his character Vinnie and paired him with another minor character called Charlie Verducci, and had the father and son trying to get rich.
