For example:

The Golden Girls, which aired on NBC, spun-off into The Golden Palace (it's debatable over wither it's technically a spin-off, a sequel series, or a glorified eighth season of The Golden Girls), which aired on CBS. Meanwhile, Empty Nest and its own spin-off, Nurses remained on NBC.

When Buffy the Vampire Slayer moved from The WB to UPN, its spinoff, Angel, stayed with The WB.

The Practice, an ABC show, once crossed-over (https://decider.com/2014/09/18/ally-mcbeal-the-practice-crossover/) to Ally McBeal, a Fox show and vice versa.

The Six Million Dollar Man aired for five seasons on ABC. After its spin-off, "The Bionic Woman aired for two seasons on ABC, it was picked up by NBC, where it aired the third season.

For Golden Girls, I would call it a continuation except the GP episodes never seen to be in the syndication rotation (It should be). Even There's A Crowd is usually thrown in rotation with There's Company.

Jake and the Fatman, CBS, a spin-off of Matlock on NBC

the 1981 series BRET MAVERICK aired on NBC and was a spin-off of the ABC series MAVERICK.
It was about Bret Maverick and starred James Garner who had also played the role in Maverick. In the final episode Jack Kelly made a cameo appearance, reviving his role as Bart from MAVERICK; if the series was picked up for a second season (which it wasn't sadly:(), they were going to make him a regular.
There was also another short-lived spin-off in (I think) 1980 called YOUNG MAVERICK which I think was on CBS

Jake and the Fatman, CBS, a spin-off of Matlock on NBCJake and the Fatman was a Matlock spin-off? I guess that explains its initial success trouncing Seinfeld. I knew Jake launched Diagnosis Murder.

How is Law and Order Criminal Intent a spinoff of Law Order Criminal Intent. It's the same series on a different network (isn't USA a part of the NBC family of networks).

Same comment holds true for Trial by Jury, the series is just on a different network.

Same comment holds true for Trial by Jury, the series is just on a different network.

When “Criminal Intent” moved to USA from NBC, it was no longer on its original network and thus became a spin-off on a different network from its parent show.

Some other shows mentioned here were on networks within the same “family” like ABC - Freeform, FX - FX on Hulu, HBO - HBO Max, etc…

You consider Hazel NBC/CBS, My Three Sons ABC/CBS, Get Smart NBC/CBS, Leave It io Beaver CBS/ABC to be spin-offs!

You consider Hazel NBC/CBS, My Three Sons ABC/CBS, Get Smart NBC/CBS, Leave It io Beaver CBS/ABC to be spin-offs!

Those shows weren’t spin-offs, “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” was.

I don’t know what’s so hard to understand.

I knew he was innocent. That makes me even more angry with IMDB screwing him over, it used to be innocent until proven guilty in this country. The hideous person who slandered him needs put behind bars for a very long time.

I’m not taking sides as only the parties involved know what happened, but a lack of evidence and the prosecutors believing that they would never get a conviction does not mean one is innocent.

It means they cannot prove it.

Those shows weren’t spin-offs, “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” was.

I don’t know what’s so hard to understand.

It's not a spin-off, the show that was on NBC moved to USA, that's it.

So "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" was not a spin-off of "Law & Order"?

So "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" was not a spin-off of "Law & Order"?

No, it wasn't. The show exists in the same TV universe as Law and Order but each series (the original Law and Order, Law and Order SVU and Law and Order Criminal Intent and Trial by Jury) have separate origins that were not linked back to the original series.

No, it wasn't. The show exists in the same TV universe as Law and Order but each series (the original Law and Order, Law and Order SVU and Law and Order Criminal Intent and Trial by Jury) have separate origins that were not linked back to the original series.You are incorrect. Criminal Intent and SVU, as well as shorter lived shows like Trial by Jury and Los Angeles, are all widely considered Law and Order spin-offs despite what you think.

You are incorrect. Criminal Intent and SVU, as well as shorter lived shows like Trial by Jury and Los Angeles, are all widely considered Law and Order spin-offs despite what you think.

You're wrong, these shows are considered part of the Law and Order franchise. The shows were not originated in the original series.

A franchise for shows is a parent show spinning others off. There would be no franchise without the spin-offs.

"Vikings" was on History and the spin-off/sequel series, "Vikings: Valhalla", is going to be on Netflix.

It launches Feb. 2022

"Women of the House", the short-lived spin-off of "Designing Women", started on CBS and its last 4 eps. aired on Lifetime.

These are not spin-offs, but they all are considered part of DC's "Arrowverse".

The "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover event featured cameo appearances by characters featured on "Titans", "Doom Patrol", "Swamp Thing", and "Stargirl".

All of those shows were from the now defunct streaming network DC Universe whereas the other "Arrowverse" shows are from The CW. Also to note that Tom Ellis, from the Fox/Netflix show "Lucifer", also appeared.




- "Titans" and "Doom Patrol" moved to HBO Max.

- "Swamp Thing" lasted one season on DC Universe though The CW later re-aired it.

- "Stargirl" started as a DC Universe original, though The CW aired its episodes a day after its streaming debut. It moved to The CW after DC Universe shut down.

NBC daytime soap "Days of Our Lives" has a spin-off, "Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem", on Peacock.

Childrens Hospital (TheWB.com, Adult Swim)
Medical Police (Netflix)

You're wrong, these shows are considered part of the Law and Order franchise. The shows were not originated in the original series.

Law and Order Organized is an exception. It's a spinoff of SVU and features Stabler from SVU.

Tales from the Cryptkeeper (ABC, CBS)
Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House (CBS)

You're wrong, these shows are considered part of the Law and Order franchise. The shows were not originated in the original series.

You are incorrect yourself. They are actually both spin-offs and in the same franchise. They've frequently crossed over and shared storylines.

Not this again! I don't understand the desire to throw as much into the stew pot as possible. Each difference can be clearly marked so the definitions are clear. Rhoda is a spinoff of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Frasier is a spinoff of Cheers, Pete & Gladys is a spinoff of December Bride. Those characters were actually part of the other show (although Gladys was spoken of and never in fact appeared), the intention was not to put them in the show for the purposes of putting them in their own series.

Here are a few examples that people commonly label as spinoffs but aren't:

The Andy Griffith Show was in fact not a spinoff of The Danny Thomas Show, it was what's known as a backdoor pilot. The character of Andy Taylor was never part of The Danny Thomas Show, the production company and the network saved money by doing the pilot inside The Danny Thomas Show.

Green Acres is not a spinoff of Petticoat Junction, the two shows and the Beverly Hillbillies exist in the same TV universe. It is possible for the shows to share a character or characters or a story arc but the shows did not come out of each other.

Laverne and Shirley is not a spinoff of Happy Days, those characters were not in Happy Days, they were placed in episodes to garner interest in giving them their own series. Joanie Loves Chachi on the other hand is a spinoff.

With respect to your point, the three main Law and Order shows exist in the same TV universe but did not originate from each other.

All the shows discussed have a relationship, no one is questioning that but why mix apples and oranges.

Let me see if this helps, on The Beverly Hillbillies Jethro (Pearl's son)refers to Jed (Pearl's cousin) as Uncle Jed, Ellie (Jed's daughter) refers to Jethro's mother as Aunt Pearl. Are all these people related, yes, are the relationships as they are identified by the characters correct, no. Assuming Jed is Pearl's first cousin then Jethro is his first cousin once removed, Ellie and Jethro are second cousins. Ellie's first cousin once removed is Pearl.

The only reason I commented on this is just to try to keep things clear.

In a unique situation, "9-1-1" is moving from Fox to ABC for its 7th season.

Its spin-off, "9-1-1: Lone Star", is staying on Fox.

All of the "Law & Order" series aired on NBC, but there are a few exceptions:

- "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" aired its first 6 seasons on NBC and then it moved to USA for seasons 7-10.

- "Law & Order: Trial by Jury" aired its first 12 eps. on NBC and the final 13th ep. aired on Court TV months after it was cancelled.
