Out of these choices, which spin-off show do you think is more deserving to have the title of "The Greatest Sitcom Spin-Off Series of All-Time":
~ Laverne & Shirley
~ The Andy Griffith Show
~ The Simpsons
~ Frasier
~ The Jeffersons
~ Family Matters
???

All good series, but Frasier is the best IMO.
It took advantage of being a spinoff to the fullest.
Whereas The Andy Griffith Show, The Simpsons and The Jeffersons never looked back.
And Family Matters only mentioned anything remotely having to do with Perfect Strangers once.
Laverne & Shirley took advantage of being a spinoff too.
But the quality wasn't consistant throughout the entire run -- so Frasier gets the edge.

The Simpsons began as rough animated shorts between segments on The Tracey Ullman Show back in the late 1980s. It expanded to a full half-hour series in January of 1990.

OOh, tough choice. Well, let's eliminate these one by one:
~ The Simpsons
~ The Jeffersons
~ Family Matters
Worst to First:
The Andy Griffith Show
Laverne & Shirley
Frasier
The Simpsons
Family Matters
The Jeffersons
FWIW: Frasier, Simpsons, Family Matters, and Jeffersons were all great to the point, that they might as well all be rated #1 for me. Laverne & Shirley, as well as Andy Griffith...Aren't as good compared to the other 4, but still good.

The Jeffersons followed by The Andy Griffith Show.

I voted for Frasier, tho I'm surprised Facts Of Life was left off the list
Family Matters is the best because of my friend, Steve Urkel!

I voted for The Simpsons. Best damn TV show, period.
I loved Frasier the first couple of seasons, but I lost interest around the time Wings ended. I like Wings better than Frasier than Frasier, even though it was the lessopular and well-liked of the two shows.
Family Matters was a favorite when I was younger, but it's not something I really watch nowadays.
The other shows are OK.

I chose Frasier out of that list. But I think Mama's Family should be considered too because it could be argued that it was a spinoff of The Carol Burnett Show.
