I think you got them all except 3 and 7...but I'm not 100% sure! I thought sure FTies started in 82, but could be wrong. With 7, RFD was a spinoff of Andy Griffith, but was Andy a spinoff of another show? Beverly Hillbillies maybe? ! I know they all used "Sara" as their operator...then again I'm not too up on 60's shows. Good job!

The Andy Griffith Show was a spin off of an episode of the Danny Thomas Show telecast in 1960 titled "Danny meets Andy Griffith" except Danny was meeting Andy Taylor in fictional Mayberry, North Carolina where he and the family were brought in by the good sheriff for speeding (Danny was on his way to Florida for a gig). Ronny Howard also appeared in this episode as did the actress who played Aunt Bee, but she didn't portray Bee in this episode. Deputy Barney Fife was not included.

p.s.

Another spin-off of a spin-off would be Good Times. Since Maude was a spin-off of All in the Family and Florida was Maude's maid on Maude and then she got her own show.

All correct except unanswered 12 (nbc show for Dick Clark),
and unanswered 16, 19, 20. The one I was thinking for on ABC for Dick Clark was American Bandstand, but Pryamid's ok too.

buddy love · 10-27-2002, 09:09 PM

I believe the NBC Dick Clark series would be "Bloopers and Practical Jokes" which he co-hosted with Ed McMahon.

Miami Vice!

10. Name 3 tv shows that derived from a motion picture.

The Waltons (from "The Homecoming", 1971)
The Brady Bunch (from "Yours, Mine, and Ours", 1966, even though Sherwood Schwartz submitted the idea long before the movie!)
I can't think of any others, but aren't there some connections between The Wonder Years and "Stand By Me"?
