What Shows Should have had Spin-offs? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Simple question, What shows do you think should have or you wanted them to have a spin-off? I'll post mine later as Im off to school...

troopoleon8897 · 09-27-2005, 07:09 AM

I think that Roseanne should have had a spin-off with either Jackie or One of the side charcters like Cathy Bowman or Anna-Marie Mitchell. I also think that Everybody Loves Raymond should have spun off Robert, but that's still possible. I think after Jesse and Rebecca had the twins on Full House they should have spun-off them and added Vicky as a cast regular on Full House. I will probally think of more, but I got to go...

Johnny S · 09-27-2005, 07:07 PM

Seinfeld could have had a Kramer spinoff. Futurama should have had a Bender spinoff. I agree that Jesse & Becky could have been spun off of Full House. Raymond could still have a Robert spinoff as well. There's plenty more, but those are the first that come to mind.

KristinHerreraFan · 10-01-2005, 08:30 PM

I think that Zoey 101 should have a spin-off. Because Kristin Herrera (Dana) left PCA (the zoey 101 boarding school set) to go to a different boarding school in Paris. I think that would be an interesting spin-off, a show about Dana at her new school in Europe.

TheWhiteStripe · 10-02-2005, 01:42 AM

Everybody Loves Raymond is said to have a spin-off with Robert and Amy, but not for a few more years.

I think Friends should've had a spin-off with Monica and Chandler and not Joey. Let's face it, Joey wasn't funny with the whole cast, he's not funny without them.

I also think Boy Meets World could've had a spin-off with Corey and Topanga, however, they were the main characters in Boy Meets World anyway, so it would've been odd.

There are other shows that I would of course love to have spin-offs of (Seinfeld, 3rd rock from the Sun, ect.), but a show's gotta know when to call it quits.

robyrob · 10-02-2005, 09:40 AM

from Happy Days, I would have given Chuck and Arnold their own spinoffs, maybe even one for Eugene and Melvin Belvin (they DID plan on giving Melvin his own spinoff, but it never materialized)

80's serie's should have really had spin offs, the most. Many got cancelled and we never had total closure, this way, stars from the parent shows could have made guest appearances. Mostly College life would have been the spinoffs.

The easiest would be "Gimme A Break" when Samantha went off to College in Littlefield New Jersy. Cast members could have guest starred on that, as Nell visited Sam and stayed in her College Dorm in 2 of the last Gimme A Break episodes of the series. This show could have lasted from 86-94 or so, since it would have a grad program and Sam would go to grad school there as well.

Another good spin-off could have been "Diff'rent Strokes" with Willis going off to college as well, and Drummond, Sam, Maggie, Kimberly, and Arnold making guest appearances once in a while. This show could have ran from 85-91, kinda the same length as Samantha's Spinoff would have, with Willis attending grad school at his college.

"Silver Spoons", if it had ended when Rick was a Senior, could have focused on him going off to College. Silver Spoons was about father and son, but now the spin-off would have been about Rick only. However, Rick was only going into his Senior Year when the show got cancelled.

"The Facts of Life" should have never had a spinoff idea, the show went on for 9 years, that is long enough. If the show got cancelled around 86 or so, I'd say alright, but this show went on too long, and there were no good ideas for a spinoff. Natlie in SoHo was not fun, and Blair's was okay at Eastland, but it bored me, somewhat. There was no fun with Jo and Boner, even igf they were getting married. We need all 4 girls together, they are no fun apart, so no spinoff would have really worked.

I think Bubba from "Mama's Family" could have worked in getting his won spinoff. He was in community college when the show ended, so he would go off to a real 4 year and grad program after he smartened up that would last from 90-96 or so. That's the only character on that show that was good enough for a spin-off if his attitude changed a little more throught the final season, and he became studious, while keeping with a little dopey persona now and then.

The Golden Girls should have never had a spinoff. YOU NEED ALL 4 TOGETHER, JUST LIKE THE FACTS OF LIFE. No spinoff would have worked with any main characters. Guest characters, I guess, but main ones, the fans would want all 4 to be together.

Lynn going to College in "Alf" just around the time it got cancelled would have worked, but she was kinda boring. I guess this wouldn't last long. Maybe a full season and then it would be cancelled, unless she became more hyper and social, now that she was away from her family.

JoshFromKC · 10-03-2005, 11:26 AM

I would have liked to see a Kramer or George spinoff of Seinfeld, but I read somewhere that all the actors had to sign an agreement where they could not use the characters after the show.

Also, Friends would be good with Ross and Rachel, because we all know they are going to have some sort of relationship trouble down the road.

If the Simpsons ever end, and the actual "Simpsons" are out of the picture, a spinoff of The Ned Flanders Show or CSI: Springfield starring Chief Wiggum be good, but don't see that ever happening ever, at all, not in the least bit.

treky · 10-04-2005, 01:24 AM

A "FRIENDS" spin-off about Ross & Rachel would have been good, but I read somewhere that the cast agreed at the start of the show that if one or two cast members leave, they all leave.

An "Everybody Loves Raymond" spin-off about Frank & Marie or Robert & Amy would have been good. I remember reading an article about it once, in the last season, & the actress who played Amy (I forget her name) said that she would LOVE to continue in the role if they would do that.

A "Seinfeld" spin-off about Kramer would have been good.

Years ago, when "Happy Days" was still on, I read some where that they were considering a spin-off about Potsie & Ralph. Thank god THAT was never made!!!!!

who was Eugene and Melvin Belvin?

They must have joined the cast after I stopped watching it, when it became "The Fonzie show" or "all Fonzie, all the time".

I think the character of Kristin on Dallas could have had her own show.
