Sitcoms with no spinoffs
How many successful sitcoms have there been that have NEVER sired spinoff shows?

reprising her role as Denise Huxtable. The following long-running, hit sit-coms had no spin-offs: The Honeymooners (15 seasons, incl. The Jackie Gleason Show) The Danny Thomas Show (13 seasons) My Three Sons (12 seasons) Father Knows Best (9 seasons) The Donna Reed Show (8 seasons) The George Burns & Gracie Allen Show (8 seasons) All of these shows ran for eight seasons or more. The fact that they are all from the 1950s is probably no coincidence; repetition didn't set in until the 1960s. |

 A very successful show that definitely didn't have a spin off was "Seinfeld". I could see the possibility of one, but I'm glad they never went this route. Andrea |
