'Joanie Loves Chachi' - anything with Scott Baio in it (back then) would hold my attention, and I did watch the show and have forgotten everything about it.

And Scott Baio's probably glad you've forgotten. Seriously.

Come on, you made up the last two.

Nope Both Festus and Horseshack had short lived spin offs.

They did not. lol

But I do believe that both characters had pilots for proposed spinoffs so technically that counts.

In some ways, it's unfortunate that The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in it's 3rd season, and The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. in it's only season, chose to go the Batman route and become more of a satire instead of serious drama, but I still enjoy the episodes for what they are.

EW is run by tasteless people putting Law and Order: Trial by Jury on a worst ever spin-off list, grrr! It is better than Law and Order: Los Angeles and Law and Order: Organized Crime combined. Trial by Jury was also easily better than highly overhyped SVU, Bebe Neuwirth was a great lead actress. It even did well in the ratings, but Moron Zucker got rid of it anyway. The Lone Gunmen does not deserve to be on a worst spin-off list either, it rocked.

Stefanie Powers at 23 years old and the fashion at that time for ladies in the 1960s gave it a very watchable show for me in 2025! �� It more of a silly action comedy show to me! I got Part 1 & 2 of Warner Bros. pricey DVD collection when it was released! Now the price have fallen to around $30s!��*♂️

I began rewatching The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. UNCLE Part 1 again. I knows that how sexy Stefanie Powers is in general with her posh attitude and the way she moves in the scenes. She was just turned 23 years old at the beginning. Total eye candy to men. It was rumor that the NBC Executives did not want to have the U.N.C.L.E. Girl do anything masculine like fighting or shooting. LOL!
