Id say it would have to be that lame spinoff of Married with children but cant recall the name of it. It ran for only a short time.

Did anyone ever see Murphy Blonde. It was a spin-off of Murphy Brown, and it only ran once on discovery channel, and it starred a grizzly bear.

Maude. I dunno why, but I just HATE it. With a passion. It's one of my least favorite shows EVER

You're probably thinking of the vomit inducing sitcom, Top of the Heap. This show starred Matt Leblanc as Vinnie Verducci, a dumb Italian guy who is also a semi-prof. boxer (hmm...where have we seen this before...*cough* TONY DANZA). I actually remember watching the first 4 or 5 episodes, and everyone of them centered around some stupid plan designed by the father to make them rich, and they always called it the "Verducci Master Plan". The only reason to watch this show was Joey Lauren Adams, who played a horny teenage neighbor who had the hots for Leblanc. Of course, for some ridiculous reason, he would always pry her off of him whenever she would throw herself at him. What a stupid show.

I really enjoyed Maudes 2 guest appearances on AITF. But the Maude tv seris never did much for me at all. I wached reruns in the early 80s late 70s but it just doesnt have the magic that the other spinoffs had.

I think a disappointing spinoff of a great original show was "AfterMASH". MASH was probably the second-best sitcom ever, in my opinion, and this was a real doozy. "Trapper John, M.D." did better, but I think due to the talents of Pernell Roberts.....

The dumbest spin-off came from one of the best shows ever!

It was "Frasier" coming from "Cheers"
I absolutly cannot stand that crop of garbage on "Cheers" there was a little innovation called COMEDY.

cp · 01-17-2001, 10:25 AM

100 Percent agreed.
Cant understand why NBC overhypes this so-called comedy?

The Married With Children spin-off, Top of the Heap, amazingly had its own spinoff. It was called "Vinnie and Bobby".
May 30, 1992 to September 5, 1992.
It centered around Vinnie Verducci,one of the leads from T.O.T.H. He was now living without his father in the same house but instead with his friend Bobby.
The show starred:
Matt LeBlanc
Robert Torti
John Pinette
Joey Adams
Ron Taylor
Fred Stoller
Sharyin Leavitt
Colleen Morris
and
Vidal Peterson.

Its really amazing and pathetic how such a bomb of a show could cough up another bomb. hey what can I say thats FOX for ya! LOL

You MUST lump into this category, the horrible, reprehensible, un-funny, horribly-scripted "BETTY WHITE SHOW".

factsoflife · 02-03-2001, 06:41 PM

Family matters which was a spinoff of perfect Strangers ( nobody remmembers that it was a spinoff .) Saved by the bell the new class was just horrible.. the worst show ever..... also Saved by the bell the college years were bad.. and The parkers is a bad spinoff of a bad show (moesha).

Purple Velvet Bohemian · 02-16-2001, 07:59 PM

Oh My God! I LOVE Maude! It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid! And it has one of the best theme songs ever! Love it! My least favorite spin off has to be The Roper's. Who thought up that piece of crap show anyway? Yuck! I hate that show.

And I totaly agree about Frasier, I can't stand that show. I think that Frasier and Niles are just a couple of stuck up jerks who are in desperate need of an a$$ kicking.

I agree about Frasier. Phoooohey on frasier!

Pitooey · 02-18-2001, 11:05 AM

I hate Frasier too.... I love Maude though.

Frasier is so funny and even better than Cheers. The worst spinoff is Mayberry RFD.
