...spinoffs do you remember?

The ones I remember are:

"WALTER"-a spinoff of "MASSH" in which Radar was a cop, it only aired once, in something like 1985? in the middle of the summer, and only in a couple areas of the country, so I'm sure hardly anyone remembers it. I think it aired at something like 10 or 10:30 PM.

"Sanford Arms"-a short-lived (5 episodes) spinoff of "Sanford & Son" that aired after "S & S" went off.

"Grady"-another short-lived "S & S" spinoff, that aired when "S & S" was still on. I don't remember much of it, exept that it didn't last very long.

"Top Of The Heap"-a short-lived spinoff of "Married...with Children" that also aired right after "Married" on Sunday. I also don't remember much about it, exept that I saw the first show, and it sucked!!
Oh yea, it starred Matt LeBlanc-Joey on "Friends"

What's the generally accepted definition of a "short-lived" show? One year? Two years, maybe? Rhoda lasted 4 years. I wouldn't have thought of it as "short-lived".

Short-lived spinoffs that I recall (and sometimes wished I could forget):

Gloria - spinoff of All in the Family
Fish - spinoff of Barney Miller
Joannie Loves Chachi - spinoff of Happy Days
