Default Name the spinoff from Happy Days that you didn't like at all

I would have to say that the Happy Days Spinoff I didn't like was Mork and Mindy because mork was extra Goofy.

The only spin-off of Happy Days I saw is Laverne & Shirley, but I love this sitcom. For a Happy Days sitcom I didn't like would be difficult for me to answer, because I never got the chance to watch any other sitcom, besides Laverne & Shirley.

Yeah these are the Happy Days Spinoffs and the years they began.

Laverne and Shirley-1976
Mork and Mindy-1978
Joanie Loves Chachi-1982


I think it's another one but i'm not sure.

I'll have to say "Mork and Mindy." I like "Laverne & Shirley" and "Joanie Loves Chachi." Plus, I haven't seen M&M in a while, but from what I remember, the other two shows were much better.

Yeah the Mork character was much better in the presence of Fonzie and Richie on Happy Days instead of Mindy and her father on Mork and Mindy. That show SUCKED

I only watched the 2 part pilot with the guest appearance of Fonzie and Laverne. After that-i was no longer interested. The pilot has to set the tone and in my eyes that didn't happen.

You can't make a blanket statement like that based on the observation of just two episodes. A statement like that based on the viewing of just two episodes is not good judgement. The pilot does not always "set the tone" for a series.

I have seen two Happy Days spin-offs which were L&S and M&M. Let me tell you that I absolutely LOVE both of those spin-offs. I just wish TV networks would air these as much as they do with say Happy Days or The Andy Griffith Show.

I think the Mork character just had better chemistry with Richie and Fonzie. It was something about the Mindy character that i didn;t like,

I liked the Mork and Mindy better than the other spinoffs. It was a good show. It aired on Nickelodeon then on Nick at Nite as well.

I agree with Thomas. Laverne and Shirley never really appealed to me.

I guess that physical comedy on laverne and shirley was too much at times.
