Spinoffs that Were Better then the original - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think Empty Nest was far better than The Golden Girls (HATE that show!) and I think Nurses was even better than EN. Unfortunately, it lasted the shortest amount of time. (3 seasons, I think)

One point though...I'm not a "Frasier" fan, but I loved "Cheers"...does anyone out there think that "Frasier" is better? I know it's won numerous awards (not that I take awards that seriously...I mean, I know what's good and what's not :-) , but does anyone think it's a superior show to "Cheers"? That's about the only other possibility I can think of..

I like Cheers and I like Frasier, but I like Frasier better. I like the whole Niles and Daphne thing, and they keep that fresh - in my opinion - which makes me want to watch it more. I still watch both though, but I KNOW I've seen every episode of Frasier, whereas I haven't yet of Cheers.

And I'm another one who liked Golden Girls better than Empty Nest...I really didn't like Empty Nest.

Ahh well, to each their own.

The Simpsons IS better than The Tracey Ullman Show (at least from what I can remember)

I like Cheers better better than Frasier because I like the chemisry between all the characters. I like AITF better than the Jeffersons and Maude, In AITF they had all the characters and I think they were best together..

I like Diff'rent Strokes a lot more but FOL was better

Sara Micelli · 06-28-2002, 12:54 PM

I like Frasier but I like Cheers waaaay better. I am a HUGE Cheers fan.

L&S was better than happy days, I love laverne and shirley! though happy days was good too! L&S was sooo funny and its crazy how they never won an emmy, that ticks me off!! they were so good!

feeneybabe05 · 07-06-2002, 07:00 PM

I think that Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. was better than Andy Griffith, and I think that Laverne & Shirley was better than Happy Days. Some of the Andy Griffith were better than some GP, though, and same w/ HD & L&S.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 07-23-2002, 05:37 PM

I disagree. Laverne and Shirley is my 2nd favorite show--right behind Happy Days. I am obsessed with both, but Happy Days is still better. I like the high school days the best--when they got to the 80's Laverne and Shirley was DEF. better. I like HD's better though because I saw it first-Im sure if I watched L&S before HD's it would be the other way around--who knows?? As for Cheers--sorry but I cant stand the show!! I think its because when I was real young my parents ALWAYS watched it lol-so blame it on them! But I really like Frasier-especially Niles!!!!

As for Facts of Life--much better than Diffrent Strokes, but DS is still pretty good!! L&S had more physical comedy, but Happy Days had that bond between the cast that just clicked...until Ted McGinley came along and tried to be Richie- yea RIGHT!

GoldenGuy · 07-26-2002, 09:23 PM

I think The Facts of Life was better than Differnt Strokes.

Impressions · 07-31-2002, 07:14 PM

I think the Jeffersons are way better that All in the Family, I like Diff'rent Strokes but I don't think it's better than FOL, Cheers was better than Fraiser.

Dan Asnis · 08-15-2002, 07:28 PM

Though neither show was ever great "Family Matters" was Probably better then the show it spun off of "Perfect Strangers". Family Matters was enjoyable at times up until the poit Judy Winsow (Laura's younger sister) disappeared without a trace and Urkel stared cloning himself and altering his personality and then alterd the personality of his clone to be cool.
