eball Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 With news leaking about a "potential" Breaking Bad spinoff (i.e., was Walter White really dead?), and one already in the works ("Better Call Saul"), I started thinking about the topic in general. There have been some horrible spinoffs for sure (AfterMASH), but what have been the best ones? I'll start the discussion with a damned good one: Frasier
Mark80 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 The Colbert Report and Boston Legal have to be up there. Boston Legal was great and should never have been cancelled so quickly.
Dibs Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Mork and Mindy I'm hoping that The Flash will be another good one.
boyst Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Add Gomer Pyle from Andy Griffith. I aso consider Happy Days a spin off from Andy Griffith.
plenzmd1 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Frasier was the best in my mind. Did not know Mork and MIndy was a spinoff...still love that show
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Joanie Loves Chachi Sorr, somebody had to be the first wise guy here. ;-P
The Big Cat Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 It's gotta be Frasier. Also in contention: Family Matters (spinoff of Perfect Strangers). Classic 90's sitcom schlock, but you can't deny its cultural impact.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Did not know Mork and MIndy was a spinoff...still love that show Techincally, the concept was shown in a Dick Van Dyck Show episode many years earlier. Is Newhart considered a "spinoff" of the old Bob Newhart Show?
Dibs Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Techincally, the concept was shown in a Dick Van Dyck Show episode many years earlier. .... You mean Happy Days, yes?
Mark80 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 what was king of the hill a spinoff of>?> Beavis and Butthead.
The Big Cat Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Beavis and Butthead. i actually don't think that's right. i looked it up, and found it nowhere.
Mark Vader Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Add Gomer Pyle from Andy Griffith. I aso consider Happy Days a spin off from Andy Griffith. How so?
