This is a list of shows that had spin-offs and/or reunion movies.

This doesn't count theatrical films that were made years later with a different cast such as The Honeymooners or Get Smart or The Beverly Hillbillies.

Get Smart
Five Seasons of "Get Smart" from 1965-1970, 138 episodes.
One Theatrical Film "The Nude Bomb" in 1980.
One Television Reunion Movie "Get Smart, Again" in 1989.
One Half Season of Revival Series "Get Smart" in 1995, 7 episodes.

The Andy Griffith Show
Eight Seasons of "The Andy Griffith Show" from 1960-1968, 249 episodes.
Five Seasons of Spin-Off "Gomer Pyle, USMC" from 1964-1969, ??? episodes.
Three Seasons of Continuation Series "Mayberry, R.F.D." from 1968-1971, 78 episodes.
One Television Reunion Movie "Return to Mayberry" in 1986.

The Wild Wild West
Four Seasons of "The Wild Wild West" from 1965-1969, 104 episodes.
Two Television Reunion Movies - "The Wild Wild West Revisited" in 1979 and "More Wild Wild West" in 1980.

Saved by the Bell
One Season of "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" from 1988-1989, 13 episodes.
Five Seasons (I count the beach episodes as a separate season) of "Saved by the Bell" from 1989-1993, 86 episodes.
One Television Movie "Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style" in 1992.
One Continuation Spin-Off "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" from 1993-1994, 19 episodes.
One Television Movie Finale "Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas" in 1993.
One Spin-Off "Saved by the Bell: The New Class" from 1993-2000, 143 episodes.

What others are there?

tv star collector · 10-05-2008, 02:51 PM

Leave It to Beaver spawned the TV-movie "Still the Beaver" and the
syndicated series The New Leave It to Beaver. Both reunited surviving
members of the original cast.

I Dream of Jeannie spawned two TV-movies, "I Dream of Jeannie: 15
Years Later" and "I Still Dream of Jeannie." Barbara Eden starred in both.

The cast (except Pat Priest) of The Munsters returned in the theatrical movie "Munster, Go Home." Most of the cast (with the exceptions of Pat
Priest and Butch Patrick) returned in the TV-movie "The Munsters' Revenge."

The cast of The Addams Family were reunited (with the exception of
Blossom Rock) for the TV-movie "Halloween with the Addams Family."

The cast of Father Knows Best were reunited in a TV-movie.

There were three Gilligan's Island TV-movies and two animated series
(The New Adventures of Gilligan and Gilligan's Island, featuring
the voices of most of the original cast.

Other cartoons that featured the voices of the original cast include: The
Addams Family (one version with Jackie Coogan and Ted Cassidy; a later version with John Astin), The Brady Kids, Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, Laverne & Shirley and Mork and Mindy (to name a few).
There were other cartoons based on sitcoms that featured different actors
(Jonathan Harris replaced Ray Walston in My Favorite Martians, for
example.)

Make Room for Granddaddy reunited the cast of The Danny Thomas
Show. It only lasted one season.

There was a TV special that reunited the casts of both My Three Sons
and The Partridge Family.

Besides the aforementioend "Return to Mayberry," there was also a TV
special reuniting some of the cast of The Andy Griffith Show.

There was a TV special reuniting the surviving members of the cast of The
Dick Van Dyke Show.

There was an awful TV-movie reuniting some of the cast of The Beverly
Hillbillies. Irene Ryan had passed away, and Max Baer (wisely) wanted
nothing to do with it. "The Return of the Beverly Hillbillies" is best avoided.
It was a bomb. Years later, a TV special reunited Buddy Ebsen, Donna
Douglas and Max Baer.

There were TV reunion shows for both Happy Days and Laverne &
Shirley.

There was a reunion show for CBS's One Day at a Time.

And there was "Project ALF," but it only featured ALF himself (none of the
Tanners appeared).

And, of course, there were countless reunion movies (and cartoons) based on TV dramas and action shows. But that's a subject for another thread.

And of course, all the CSIs and the Law and Orders.

Battlestar: Galactica had the spinoff, "Galactica: 1980", the extremely dissimilar remake from the 00's, and the theatrical release based on the first two episodes of the original series.

V: The Series had a short-lived (and dissimilar) remake in the late 00's.

The Odd Couple was redone as "The New Odd Couple" in the early 80's, as well as the Saturday morning cartoon "The Oddball Couple" in the 1970s. A TV movie was done in the 1990's, I believe, reuniting Klugman and Randall, and incorporating Klugman's throat cancer.

The Addams Family produced a cartoon in the 70s, two remake/reboot films in the 90's, and a reunion movie in 1977.
