Let us not forget:

Maude
Fraiser
Lou Grant (not a sitcom but spun off from one)
Trapper John, MD (same as above)

"Trapper John, MD" did not spin-off from a sitcom. It spun-off from a movie, and was the sister show of a sitcom. (This was upheld by a court when the producer (I think it was the producer) of the movie demanded royalties, and he got them, too.)

I think another good one is "A Different World".
