Friday OT - Best/Worst Spinoff Series

[wartknight]

NCIS:LA count as a spinoff? One of the best shows on TV
Also CSI:NY was great. No idea why it didn't last

Huge fan of Frasier.

Joanie Loves Chachi was bad

"Yeah, yeah, Joanie loves Chachi, but does Chachi give a flyin' **** about Joanie?"

Frisky Dingo on adult swim had a 2 episode spinoff called The Xtacles that was hilarious. The production company went bankrupt so it never got more than 2 episodes though.

I loved him and David Cross in the D&D episode. Admittedly, I'll probably love David Cross in whatever, but they were a good pairing.

Have you seen The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret?

 

[ISUME]

I wish that was true. Jesse Spano gets addicted to speed and turns to stripping to make ends meet.

The moment everyone realized she was addicted to speed.

Have you seen The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret?

No, but I really want to! I've heard it's hilarious.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

I actually didn't hate it.

What about Archie Bunker's Place?

It's hard to say on Archie Bunker's Place. If I remember correctly they renamed All in the Family because everyone else left. Didn't they say that Archie bought the bar after Edith died?

I remembered Laverne and Shirley but I had forgotten that Mork and Mindy was actually a spin off from Happy Days.

Over saturation of cop dramas another CSI to boot.

That 80's Show....Not so good.

HIMYM is basically a spinoff of friends...

I don't think you understand what spinoff means.

"The Jeffersons" was really funny. "Joey" stunk it up.

 

[oldman]

I liked a couple of the Star Trek spin-offs really well. Deep Space Nine, Next Generation. Even Voyager held my interest.

 

[colbycheese]

I think "King of the Hill" is the best spinoff (of Beavis and Butthead).

You wanna get kicked out of the mafia game?

And like MNCyGuy said, it's not a spinoff. You could say it's a ripoff but I would still disagree with you.

OH THAT'S A GOOD ONE!

Also, you can include Daria as a pretty good B and B spinoff.

Is King of the Hill really a spin-off? I know it's the same guy behind them, but I never watched Beavis and Butthead.

 

[CyCloned]

It is hard to pick out bad spinoffs because the really bad ones got pulled in 2 weeks. Happy Days had a couple of pretty bad spinoffs, and some good ones. Mork and Mindy, Laverne and Shirley where pretty good, Joanie loves and out of the blue not so much.

Here is Entertainments list, which contains a lot of the ones already mentioned. Business Insider has a lot of the same shows too. I guess bad is bad. No one seems to leave off Joanie love Chachi, so I guess they win.

He was the neighbor on Beavis and Butthead, and was included in the Beavis and Butthead do America movie. I'd call it a spinoff.

I think King of the Hill was an even bigger success that Beavis and Butthead was, thus it's an awesome spinoff.
