Spinoff based on Schneider? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Who would have watched a spinoff about Schneider?-lol That was a stupid idea to spin him off. If anything I would think a better spinoff would have been spinning off valerie bertillini's character. I just donlt like Schneider at all after seeing several ODAAT eps. I just always had a problem with a middle age man on a sitcom being who was goofy.

I was never too crazy about Schneider, but he was a lot more tolerable than Alex and those geeky husbands of the girls.

I never saw his trademark walk-in-the-front-door- without-knocking thing not very funny. Hmmm....that probably got old after the first episode! I guess they needed at least one male character to stay throughout the show.

A spin-off with Schneider would've been terrible. Not a very wise move. It would've lasted two months. I don't think the character would've been strong enough to float his own show. Also Corey Feldman probably would've been in it. That's another thought that makes me shudder!

The pilot for it was horrible and unfunny.

It was too bad this was the final ODAAT episode. It should've just have been the one when Ann walks out of the empty apartment.

I agree. A finale should never be a pilot for a spinoff. It takes away from the original series.

I agree, they could have had the pilot for the Schneider spinoff before the ODAAT Finale. Spin Schneider off first and then the Finale

That's essentially what they did with the Facts of Life finale as well. Completely stupid and unneccessary.

So the pilot for the Blair spinoff was AFTER the FOL Finale

I would've shelved the ODAAT finale. If I was the head of CBS it wouldn't make it on the air. So anyway, did Schneider move out of the building?
