Yep. That's why it wasn't until this year that I found out that it was a spinoff.

Melrose Place NEVER mention 90210, except for in the Pilot episode when Jennie Garth made a brief appearance.

in turn Models Inc., never made referance to Melrose.

Facts of Life: Although Kimberly attended Eastland,she was never mentioned or seen on the show as a guest star after the Different Strokes episode where Mrs. Garrett visits the school and decides to work there.

Bad example, Facts of Life and Different Strokes crossed over several times after Ms. Garrett left Different Strokes

Good Times?;)

Yes it was.

No it wasn't. Good Times was actually a spin-off of "The Jeffesons".

:confused: How is that?

Of course it was. Solomon has no proof that it wasn't.

Logically, Mama's Family never made any reference to The Carol Burnett Show.

I saw on E! True Hollywood Story about Good Times that it was indeed a spinoff of Maude - Florida was Maude's maid. They then gave her a show of her own, but I think I've seen every ep at least 2 times and I don't ever remember them mentioning Maude, nor do I remember seeing Florida on Maude, but my mom says she remembers.

Archie and Edith showed up on the either the Pilot of Maude or the transisition ep - they took a bus to visit her. I don't remember what the occasion was.

Same with Perfect Strangers as previously mentioned. Did Balki and Larry still work at the same place as Harriet Winslow by the time Family Matters started? I first thought it was spin off from the Die Hard movie, because the dad was a cop in that too.

I don't recall any of the Three's Company people visiting Jack once it went to Three's A Crowd (but I could be wrong - I didn't like that show - and I know there was hard feelings over that whole thing) and same for The Ropers (but again, I could be wrong).

I don't recall any of the Star Trek incarnations mentioning much if anything of the previous ones. I never cared for the spinoffs, but my mom watched them faithfully.

Dallas and Knots Landing crossed occasionally, but not too often - especially in later years.

I don't remember them making any mention of Growing Pains during the run of Just The Ten Of Us.

Mork and Mindy never mentioned Happy Days/Laverne and Shirley to the best of my recollection.

Maude never made reference to All in the Family. The episode when Archie and Edith visits Maude is an All in the Family episode. Once Maude started, the show never mentioned or had any vistors from All in The Family.



Larry from Three's Company visited Jack on a episode of Three's a Crowd. I have the episode on Tape.

Like I said, I didn't like Three's A Crowd. I believe you.

And like I said, the Archie and Edith and Maude thing was either the Pilot OR THE TRANSITION ep.

Yes it was the Pilot for Maude

I'm not sure if this was an episode of Growing Pains or Just The Ten.... but i remember one episode where Mike Seaver needs some sort of dating advice and he calls Coach Lubbock... I think it may have been Growing Pains, so this post was kind of pointless.

Not true. There were references made to other 90210 characters for the next two eps of melrose place, plus Jennie along with Brian, Tori and Ian made appearances for the next two episodes.

Models, INC Sarah left the Melrose apt complex with Jake and Jo wishing her well. Hillary has also made references to Amanda as well.

Thanks for bringing that up because it's true. Kimberly appeared in episode 1. She was also referred to in the ep when Willis spent the weekend at Eastland during the 1980-1981 season.

That's the episode I never saw. Why did Willis spend the night at Eastland?

Models, INC Sarah left the Melrose apt complex with Jake and Jo wishing her well. Hillary has also made references to Amanda as well. - Not true... No mention of MP was EVER made on MI... Amanda never mentioned Amanda, D&D or MP at all on MI.

.

Not true at all!

Aliens, planets, races, and even characters from all of the series have crossed over at one point or another.

Some examples:
TOS's Scotty, Spock, and McCoy appeared in The Next Generation
TNG's Picard appeared on DS9
DS9's Julian Bashir appareared on TNG
DS9's Quark appeared on Voyager
Zefram Cocrane (First Contact - A TNG movie) appeared in Enterprise
Andorians--from TOS--have appeared on Enterprise
Every series (except ENT, obviously) have mentioned Kirk at one point or another.

They never mentioned "Make Room for Daddy" on "The Andy Griffith Show".

Wre any former MTM cast members ever seen or mentioned on the Lou Grant show? I don't think any were.

So, the episode when Maude's daughter is having a wedding shower...and the Edith and Archie are at her house...is an "All in the Family" episode? I thought it was a "Maude" episode. Correct me if I'm wrong.

:wave: :cheers: :wave:

No that was an All in the Family Episode not Maude. The episode you are referring to was the Maude Pilot Episode.

Technically, Good Times WAS a spinoff of Maude, but only because of the character of Florida, but never mentioned its parent show. In Maude, Floridas husband was named Henry and even had the same actor playing him, but but was named James in GT. Also in Maude they lived in Harlem, but in Chicago on GT. GT never had any relationship to the Jeffersons. On Good Times, it was as if they had never lived in Harlem and Florida had never work for Maude. I dont think I ever heard why they changed it so much.

Good Times was so different because it wasn't a SPINOFF. Plain and Simple.

Well, Norman Lear thought it was a spinoff, because thats how the show was pitched during its run.

Well i think it they were going to called it a spinoff, they should have hired better writers because they SCREWED UP bigtime.

Location of Good Times was not explained

Changing of Henry Evans to James Evans was not explained

Financial status of Family was not explained on Good Times since Florida stopped working for Maude because her husband got a promotion.
