Name shows that you think their spinoff was better than the original:

Family Matters (better than Perfect Strangers)
Laverne and Shirley (better than Happy Days)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (better than ST:TNG)

I can't think of a spinoff that I like better but I always liked both Gomer Pyle USMC & The Andy Griffith Show on an equal basis. Happy Days is another fave but Laverne & Shirley is one of the worst shows I've ever tried to watch.

Speaking of spinoffs, About 20 years ago, a local radio station did a trivia quiz every afternoon at 12:30. I was listening one day & the announcer said that the subject was tv trivia. His question was: Name the series that The Love Boat was a spinoff from? I called & told him that it was not a spinoff from any series. He told me that I was wrong & when I had the correct answer to call back. He took calls for nearly 30 minutes & finally one got it right. Does anyone here care to guess what the answer was according to this announcer?

I agree that DS9 is better then TNG, but TNG is still great though. :rock:

TNG is great..but it's no DS9. I'm kinda TNG'd out these days, LOL. And plus, there's no Kira or Nog on TNG!

I liked both Different Strokes and The Facts of Life, but NOTHING and I mean NOTHING beats The Facts of Life! :rock: :rock: :rock: So, I liked FOL better than DS.

LOL, that's ridiculous! I guess the guy had never watched TMTMS, or else he would've known it took place in a newsroom and not a cruise ship. ;)

I know A LOT of people aren't going to aggree with me on this, but I think "Star Trek; Enterprise" was better than all the other TREKS.

I much prefer Facts Of Life to Diff'rent Strokes. I do think DS was great also, but FOL dwarfed it.

At this point I'd also say A Different World was a much better series than Cosby Show

I never could sit through a complete episode of Cheers, but I *love* Frasier!

not a sitcom, but another spinoff I prefer to the original is Melrose Place

I did not like "Petticoat Junction". It was very boring and not funny at all. I liked "Petticoat Junction"'s spinoff "Green Acres". "Green Acres" was 10 times better than "Petticoat Junction".
