Name a sitcom or sitcoms where a side character should have been spun off - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 01-11-2006, 11:37 AM

Steve Urkel should have had his own show.

They should have given Kelly Bundy her own show. Her character was getting stale and too grown to play the part she was.

Joey Lawrence should have been spun off from Blossom. I know he had his own show, but it wasn't a spin off.

Esther and Woodrow should have been spun off of Sanford and Son.

Anymore?

Didn't Kramer have his own show? Didn't it bomb?

Michael Richards had his own show for a short time after Seinfeld which did bomb, but it wasn't based on his character Kramer and wasn't a spinoff of Seinfeld.

That would be great! Didn't they get married in some Saved by the Bell movie? And since they are in their early 30s now, the whole living life with kids thing could work. And all of the old gang could guest star and whatnot. I miss them all!

Instead of spinning off Joey, I wish "Friends" had spun off Chandler and Monica. The characters would have had plenty of room to evolve after having moved away from the rest of the gang to start their own family. I'd have watched it. I forced myself to sit through two episodes of "Joey" and decided I'd had enough. Same old jokes on a different coast.

Urkel was one of the main characters so it wouldn't have been a spinoff-lol
