Personally I thought a Pam,Charmaine & Lance spin-off after the Cosby show ended could have been interesting if done right & the writing was good.

PrettyinPink55 · 08-22-2005, 10:13 AM

D. none of the above.

The only ones I can think of are when kids move out.

Vanessa in College with Dabnis...possibly having their own apartment there, and having neighbors that are good friends down the hall...sorta like the Jeffersons and after Cosby Show ended.

Sondra and Elvin and the kids when they got their own place and after Cosby show ended.

Lance, Charmaine and Pam getting a place, sorta like threes company after the Cosby show ended.

Theo as a school teacher and making new relationships with classmates/ teachers.

I think these would have been the only way to spin the show off. However, They would fail big time and not last more than one season.

If I had to choose one spinoff it would be Theo to spin off, because his character was actually going somewhere in the final season with teaching and meeting new and interesting people through it. Vanessa was just in college and Sondra and Elvin were losers most of the time, as was Pam. Theo and Rudy were always the most popular kids next to Denise and then Vanessa, but Rudy cannot have a spinoff because she's still young.

.

Here And Now in the fall of 1992 was basically this, with Malcolm playing a different character. The bottom line is that Malcolm was good in Cosby Show but poor as a leading character.

Damn Solomon, you're an old man. I'll be a senior in a few weeks.

Anyways, a Theo spinoff would've worked best, if he were given an ensemble to work with.

I don't know about that. Malcolm has been in other series and none were anywhere near as good as Cosby Show. Actually, except perhaps for Erika Alexander none of those children could carry a series. Lisa Bonet sleepwalked her way through Different World.
