Name TV shows that are spinoffs that you thought were better than the original show.

I like Rhoda better than the Mary Tyler Moore show and Mayberry RFD better than The Andy Griffith show.

I liked Knots Landing better than Dallas .

I would say that I love The Facts of Life more than Diff'rent Strokes, but I do like both shows equally.

Angel over Buffy, the Vampire Slayer

Xena: Warrior Princess over Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

I might like Archie Bunker's Place a little more than All in the Family.

I'm in agreement with your comment.

I've never really been a fan of The Andy Griffith Show. In addition to Mayberry RFD, I also prefer Gomer Pyle USMC over Andy Griffith.

I like A Different World over The Cosby Show.

I’ve never seen The Tracy Ullman Show, but have seen every episode of The Simpsons. So that one.

(I have since seen all the compilations of The Simpsons shorts from TTUS)

Fraiser > Cheers (and I really like Cheers, so it says a lot)
Family Matters > Perfect Strangers
Just The Ten Of Us > Growing Pains

Echoing above, I think MTM was an excellent show, but I liked Rhoda better.

Although All in the Family was also a great show, I liked Maude better.

BigManMike · 10-21-2024, 09:58 PM

I like The Jeffersons better than All in the Family although I like them both.
