Hmmm... this is hard...

but I'll think of one...

Dawson's Creek was far from a top 20 hit when it spun-off it's low-rated, short-lived spin-off "Young Americans". DC was on the WB a network that never created a top 20 hit, but was popular with younger viewers.

I don't believe Melrose Place was really a top 20 hit when it spun-off Models Inc, although a big hit for FOX and frequently in the top 10 weekly ratings, it was never a top 20 show in the yearly ratings. Likewise, Beverly Hills 90210 was a hit in the weekly ratings, frequently finishing in the top 10 or 20, but was never a top 20 show in the yearly ratings, and yet it spun-off Melrose Place.
