I've been hearing that there was a short-lived spin-off to Clarissa,any truth here?

From http://www.tvtome.com/ClarissaExplainsItAll/:

"Is it true that there was a planned Clarissa spin-off?

Yes, a spin-off was in the works called Clarissa NOW, where she was a newspaper editor and living her life in New York City. The pilot was aired but no other episodes of the new series were ever produced. "
