Another similar thing is One Day At A Time was also a spinoff of Maude.

Just a joke! Don’t kill me!!

Ok, you want another real one? They both had Jay Leno as what looks to be similar characters.

There was just a Happy Days on where Fonzie has to be told he's engaged to a stripper, and I realized it's the same episode as The Odd Couple where Felix has to be told he's dating a nude actress. Both Garry Marshall shows.

Yes. And after James died, both Florida and Ann were raising teenagers without having Husbands in the home.

I thought Bookman was less annoying than Schneider though. He seemed really nice actually. I thought the Evans's and Wilona were sometimes to mean to him.

Ya know Solomon,being mean to others isnt gonna stop whats going on in your life...

One time I left a friend of mine I hadnt talked to in 3 years a message in his box...He replied back and was swearing at me,calling me names,etc... I cried and replied again to him and said you arent gonna make your life any better by treating me like this.. I havent talked to you in 3 years and you leave me this nastiness???

This was voicemail so when I replied,he heard me crying....

It doesnt ever help to hurt others Solomon!!
