Can you think of any Characters on any sitcom that deserved there own show?

Mossopp · 01-22-2001, 02:20 PM

I think Jane from "Dharma and Greg" should have her own show cos she's hilarious!

lucy · 01-24-2001, 06:00 PM

Yeah It would be great in the tuesday 9:30 spot, right after Dharma and Greg. It could take the place of that lame Geena Davis show.

Sandraua from 227 should have had her own show.

Maryanne from cybill should of had one.

i think that quinn from daria should have her own show.

Cherrie from Punky Brewster

and....

Tootie from FACTS OF LIFE.

Maynard G Krebs on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. That would have been really cool.

I dunno.... Supporting characters often can't do it on their own, no matter how funny they are. Case and point - Flo. Hilarious, but on her own, just flat out unfunny.

I think sucsessful spin-offs result from characters that are minor, and are not an integral part of the show. When you take a character like Fonzie and pull him away from his straight-man Richie, it wouldn't be funny. But you take a lesser character who is a guest star or a small recurring role on the show, like Laverne & Shirley, and WHAM! You've found the formula to spin-off gratification!

I think Vivian Bagley from "The Lucy Show" should have had her own show. That would have been GREAT!

I think that Pam from "Martin" should've had her own spin-off which was in the works but never went through with production.

" Brilliant Ideas", a show about Blair who accidently flew an airplane with his dad to an arabian jungle, and it crashes, and she becomes a famous dog-cather living off of Zsa Zsa Gabor's hair tonic.

I think that Niles and CC from The Nanny should of had their own show. It would be called, ROOM FOR ONE MORE? It would star Niles and CC after they are married. They buy a yacht and decide to cruise around the world for 10 years. When their lives seem content and happy CC gets pregnant with triplets. They decide to sell the yacht and buy a mansion in Northern California.

Mossopp · 04-04-2001, 04:52 PM

I think Nina from "Just Shoot Me" should get her own show cos she's brilliant! So's Dennis Finch

04-13-2001, 02:19 PM

George Wendt from The Naked Truth should have had his own show with his Person on NT cos he was awsomme.

04-13-2001, 02:21 PM

Gunther and Janice from Friends on a show called The No 2 Won fu.They would marry,have a child and Die every week.

EdBrownJr · 04-13-2001, 03:43 PM

Micheal Richards as Kramer from Seinfeld he should have had a spinoff just imagine the world of Kramer.
