Are there any shows where you like the spinoff better than the original?

Rhoda (Spin-off of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show")
Good Times (Spin-off of "Maude")
The Facts of Life (Spin-off of "Diff'rent Strokes")
Happy Days (Spin-off of "Love, American Style")

Laverne and Shirley (as opposed to Happy Days)

I agree with everyone.... so far.

But Cheers/Frasier is a tricky situation.

At their bests.... Frasier is superior.
Yet, at their "worsts".... Frasier also wins. (or loses)
But as for overall run.... Cheers gets the top spot.

So this is a tough situation.... therefore -- no conclusion.

I like Laverne & Shirley much more than Happy Days. (and apparently, so did America back in the day. L&S actually eclipsed HD in the ratings at one point!)

Laverne & Shirley (much better than Happy Days)
Good Times (I liked Maude, but GT was better...for a while)
The Facts Of Life (stayed enjoyable longer than Different Strokes)
The Jeffersons (I really like All In The Family, but laugh more at The Jeffersons. I can also watch it longer too)

Laverne & Shirley (as opposed of Happy Days)
Green Acres (as opposed of Petticoat Junction)
The Jeffersons (as opposed of All in the Family)
Good Times (as opposed of Maude)
The Brady Brides (as opposed of The Brady Bunch)
The Andy Griffith Show (as opposed of Make Room For Daddy)

And just for the record ... the last time I checked, Happy Days is NOT a spin-off.

Then neither are Andy Griffith or L&S or Mork and Mindy. All three were just one-time shots, just like Happy Days on Love, American Style.

Frasier over Cheers.

Joey over Friends. I didn't watch Friends and didn't like it when I sampled it, but I enjoyed Joey.

While I like "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" okay, I must say I like "The Suite Life on Deck" A LOT better.
