Bonniegirl 10-19-2024, 08:51 PM Name TV shows that are spinoffs that you thought were better than the original show. :cool:
I like Rhoda better than the Mary Tyler Moore show and Mayberry RFD better than The Andy Griffith show.
Bonniegirl 10-19-2024, 09:01 PM I liked Knots Landing better than Dallas .
Marcus2026 10-19-2024, 09:10 PM I would say that I love The Facts of Life more than Diff'rent Strokes, but I do like both shows equally.

ThisLittlePiggy 10-20-2024, 03:07 PM I might like Archie Bunker's Place a little more than All in the Family.
1960'sTVfan 10-20-2024, 03:34 PM I like Rhoda better than the Mary Tyler Moore show and Mayberry RFD better than The Andy Griffith show.
I'm in agreement with your comment.
I've never really been a fan of The Andy Griffith Show. In addition to Mayberry RFD, I also prefer Gomer Pyle USMC over Andy Griffith.

Yeah, me too. I also like Gomer Pyle over Andy Griffith. ;)
biffbronson 10-21-2024, 11:23 AM I like A Different World over The Cosby Show.
I’ve never seen The Tracy Ullman Show, but have seen every episode of The Simpsons. So that one.
(I have since seen all the compilations of The Simpsons shorts from TTUS)

Although All in the Family was also a great show, I liked Maude better.

howierules86 10-08-2025, 09:24 PM I'm with those who thought Just the Ten of Us was better than Growing Pains, especially the rockin' theme song!
icecream 10-08-2025, 11:02 PM While Cheers is a good show, the original Frasier is much better.
The Jeffersons is miles better than All in the Family, which I don't like at all anymore.
NCIS (but only the Mark Harmon era) is better than JAG.
NCIS: Origins is better than NCIS, but only the recent seasons starring Gary Cole.
I have never seen Jake and the Fatman, but Diagnosis Murder is probably much better.
Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. is better than the color seasons of The Andy Griffith Show, but not the black and white seasons.
Benson is miles better than Soap.
In a close race, The Facts of Life is better than Diff'rent Strokes.
Star Trek: the Next Generation is much better than the original Star Trek.
In a closer race than TNG/TOS, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is better than Star Trek: the Next Generation.
Young Sheldon is a lot better than The Big Bang Theory.
CSI: Cyber is better than CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
