throughout its history tv has had many clone/ripoff shows e g webster is a semi clone of different strokes but sometimes the clones are better than the shows that inspired them for example i find myself enjoying life in pieves a whole lot mor than i have ever enjoyed moddern family are there any clone/ripoff shows that uou all enjoy

Apple's Way/The Waltons
Dusty's Trail/Gilligan's Island

Step by Step is basically an updated clone of The Brady Bunch and I enjoy them both.

i always thought that growing pains was ripping off family ties!!

I liked Jeannie better than Bewitched, Parker Lewis better than Ferris Bueller, and The Addams's Family better than The Munsters.
