My family thought it was hilarious though. Don't imagine there's any chance in hell of seeing those re-runs now.<br /><br />The big spin-off I remember from my early days was a Different World. I loved the Cosby Show but I don't know why 10-year old me was into a Different World. I guess I just thought nerdy Dwayne Wayne was cool.<br /><br />Holy Crap - I just looked it up and had completely forgotten a young Marissa Tomei was originally in the first season. <br /><br />C.D.

I do not like 'Happy Days' (even though I worked on it); I do not like 'Mork And Mindy'; I do not like 'The Jeffersons' (although 'All In The Family' is one of my all-time favorite TV shows).<br /><br />I thought 'Cheers' was kinda-sorta half-decent. It could be funny in moments, but I was never a die-hard watcher of it and to this day there are countless episodes I've never seen.<br /><br />BUT(!)... 'FRASIER', the spin-off from 'Cheers', is my second favorite TV series ever. It was, IMO, the funniest, wittiest, most clever and intelligently written series ever produced for television.<br /><br />In 'FRASIER', every single facet of good TV came together. The actors were perfect for their parts, and whoever was responsible for the casting had some strange mojo because, in all but a few instances, even the actors who played periodic or even one-time characters were perfect and extremely memorable. ("Bebe Glazer", Frasier's agent, is one of my favorite characters in TV history! She was totally channeling Norma Desmond!)<br /><br />But that writing! Even today I marvel at the talent of those writers and the astounding way they'd craft storylines -- plots and subplots -- that would somehow intersect and connect and merge at the end. It's not often that a writer's talent leaves me amazed and feeling like I'm almost watching magic acts being performed before my eyes, but the writers for 'Frasier' had that effect on me often.<br /><br />That was "SOME SHOW!" Almost too good for TV, really.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents 'Battle Of The Bands'</a></b>Stephen T.

I love Frasier, but never saw Cheers for some reason. <br /><br />Benson was a spin-off of the hilarious Soap. Benson was the wisecracking butler in Soap. In Benson, he’s working for a dim witted Senator. Soap was a parody, but Benson was a standard sitcom. <br />Another Soap actor, Richard Mulligan, played paediatrician Dr Harry Weston in both The Golden Girls and his own show, Empty Nest. He was a kindhearted and funny man.

I even had a Mork & Mindy board game back in the day. I loved The Brady Bunch, too, but I missed that spin off. There was another that came along later that I remember. <br /><br />Hmmm, what would I pick? Let's go modern. Okay, then, that would be The Flash (as it's kind of a spin off of Arrow), Major Crimes (a spin off of The Closer), and The Originals (a spin off of Vampire Diaries). I need more time to come up with my all time favorites, though (these would not be it).

But every so often some program would introduce a handful of brand-new characters, while giving the original show's cast bit parts in their own series for that single episode. I call that type "illegitimate" spinoiffs.

I have a lot of respect for Eve Plumb, because she invested her earnings from "The Brady Bunch" in a house that she recently sold for some obscene amount, but also because she refused to be a part of a show that appears to be the epitome of bad entertainment. <br /><br />"The Jeffersons" was a riot. 'Nuff said.<br /><br />We watched "Mork and Mindy," but I remember being underwhelmed by it. Robin Williams could be funny, but after a while he really annoyed me. <br /><br />Shows that have already been mentioned that I liked were "Frasier" (better than the show from which it was spun, in my opinion) and "Laverne & Shirley" (even after it became just "Laverne" when Cindy Williams left). <br /><br />Some of my favorite spinoffs include "Family Matters," which spun off from "Perfect Strangers," "Pete & Gladys," which was a spinoff from "December Bride," "NCIS," a spinoff from "JAG," "The Facts of Life," a spinoff of "Diff'rent Strokes," and "Mama's Family," which was originally a recurring feature on "The Carol Burnett Show." One that never made it to TV was "Sunset Division," a planned spinoff from "Crossing Jordan" that featured Jerry O'Connell's Woody Hoyt character; an episode of "Crossing Jordan" was the pilot, and I was really looking forward to the series.

"God'll get you for that, Walter."<br /><br />That clip from the Brady Bunch Hour made me throw up in my mouth a little. Me no likey Fake Jan! Me want REAL Jan! Rip Taylor and Alice the maid as a couple? I just threw up again. Remember when Ann B. Davis played "Schultzy" on The Bob Cummings Show, later titled Love That Bob in syndication?<br /><br />I am one of the few people who didn't particularly care for Robin Williams' zany comedy style. He was always "on" and it became a bit too much. I did like him in dramatic roles. On M & M I liked pretty Pam's character, and I also enjoyed her later series My Sister Sam, remembered as the show that made a budding star of Rebecca Schaeffer, the actress who was murdered at her doorstep by a fan stalker shortly after the series ended. <br /><br />Thank you, dear friend BB!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-74626936312822144872018-06-28T08:16:50.546-04:002018-06-28T08:16:50.546-04:00Of these, I've ever seen The Jeffersons.
