I have been wondering this for a while, but do you think of the 1980 show, Goodtime Girls, of being a spin-off to MTM. Georgia Engel was on it, and the show had been talked about direfctly after MTM was cancelled, so it leaves me thinking. It was about a bunch of girls living in an apartment in WW2, but tons of people say that it's a spin-off. This I guess was one star-filled show with Georgia, Peter Scolari, Marcia Lewis, Annie Potts.

No. That was not a spinoff from the MTM show. A spinoff is when a character appears on a parent show and then is put into their own show.

Wasn't Betty White in it, too?

No, Georgia and Betty White's show was called, "The Betty White Show"...which was very quickly canned after bad ratings...and Betty White Show was really stupid, she played a Tv star and Georgia was her overprotective jewish friend. Goodtime Girls was an 11-episode series about Georgia playing a woman who has 2 best friends, living with her in an apartment.
