Jackee had a pilot for a spinoff of 227. It was very funny as she went to Manhattan playing the same character, Sandra Clarke.
Also, I think I read where there had been talk in the 50s about an I Love Lucy spinoff with Fred and Ethel, but Vivian Vance had no intention of working with William Frawley under those circumstances. Has anyone else heard about that? I cant imagine I Love Lucy without the Mertzes. But I would watch anything with Vivian Vance in it. |

I wish the Cheers spinoff "The Tortelli's" lasted a lot longer. My spinoffs: 1. Welcome to La La Land(Cheers Spinoff)-Andy Andy is released from a Boston mental institution and moves to Hollywood to become an actor. 2. Roz(Frasier spinoff)-Roz Doyle gets her own radio show in New York City. 3. Moon Over L.A.(Frasier spinoff)-Daphne Moon's quirky brother Nigel moves to L.A. for adventure. |

I personally would have loved to have seen a "Laverne and Shirley" spinoff called "Lenny and Squiggy". It absolutely mystifies me that they never got their own show, considering that the late '70s were full of spin-offs, and that the show could very well have survived once "Laverne and Shirley" went off the air. I would have watched this every week and not stopped laughing!

Wow this is an old thread. I think there is a more recent one but can't find it.
Anyway, I think that Leo and Sylvia Schnauser from Car 54, Where are You should have had their own show. |

One idea for a spinoff would have been the Dobie Gillis character Chatsworth Osborne Jr. Given the right premise and casting, it would have been a hit.

If Travolta's movie career hadn't taken off, maybe a Welcome Back Kotter spin-off about Barbarino working as a hospital orderly while taking a night class to become a paramedic.
