Futurama is not a spin-off of The Simpsons. They were just created by the same person.

Actually, The Jeffersons had 11 and Good Times had six. Half seasons are usually counted as a whole season, in terms of ratings and episode guides.

Day by Day is not a spinoff of Family Ties, but there is more then one connection between the shows. We learned that Steven Keaton was a college buddy of Brian Harper in the second season of Day by Day and Gary David Goldberg created both series. You can't really consider it a spinoff beacuse the Harpers never appeared in Family Ties.
