Think you know 90s TV? Think again! Friends and Seinfeld were just the tip of the iceberg. From Halle Berry's modeling disaster to David Hasselhoff fighting literal sea monsters, these forgotten spinoffs were so bizarrely misguided that they feel like fever dreams. In this video, we take a deep dive into five of the weirdest, most wonderfully bizarre TV spinoffs that somehow made it past network executives.
If you remember Living Dolls, Top of the Heap, Vinny and Bobby, Models Inc., or Baywatch Nights, you're officially part of an exclusive club of late 80s and early 90s TV disaster survivors. Did you watch any of these? Drop an emoji in the comments if you ever witnessed The Hoff battle supernatural creatures, saw Matt LeBlanc before he was Joey, or watched Halle Berry's early acting attempts in a Who's the Boss spinoff!
Featuring early career appearances by Matt LeBlanc (before he became Joey on Friends), Leah Remini, and Halle Berry, this video reveals how these failed spinoffs of hit shows like Who's the Boss, Married with Children, Melrose Place, and Baywatch (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125231/http://www.jumptheshark.com/b/baywatch.htm) ironically launched some of Hollywood's biggest careers!
