Default Spin-Off Grandchildren

This thread is for spin-offs that gave birth to their own spin-off.

The Danny Thomas Show begat The Andy Griffith Show, which begat Gomer Pyle and Mayberry RFD.
The Beverly Hillbillies begat Petticoat Junction, which begat Green Acres.
Dragnet begat Adam-12, which begat Emergency!, which begat High Sierra.
Love American Style begat Happy Days, which begat several spin-offs.
All in the Family begat Maude, which begat Good Times.
JAG begat NCIS, which begat NCIS: Los Angeles, which might beget its own spin-off.

In my book, Petticoat Junction was NOT a spinoff of Beverly Hillbillies. There was absolutely no connection between the two series until after Bea Benederet's death and we had a visit from Granny who stated Kate and Pearl Bodine were distant cousins.

Surreal Life begat Strange Love which begat Flavor of Love
Flavor of Love begat I love New York which begat Basement Affair
Flavor of Love begat Rock of Love which begat Daisy of Love
Love American Style begat Happy Days which begat Joanie Loves Chachi.

Now, with that last one, I'm sure some of you can figure out some more based on what I JUST GAVE YOU!

Laverne doesn't have anything to do with this route. Love American, Style begat Happy Days, then Joanie Loves Chachi came from Happy Days. So Joanie is still the Love, American Style grandchild while Laverne is the sister to Joanie Love Chachi.

Sam Drucker originated first on PJ...his crossover appearances on BH was not until several seasons later. PJ is not a spinoff of BH...they were later established after the fact as "sister shows" but not for a few seasons.
