Spinoff Question about Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 05-09-2003, 11:45 PM

Was Laverne and Shirley the only spinoff to remain in the same area as it's parent show? Most spinoffs relocated to new areas.

All in the Family-Queens, Jeffersons-Manhattan

Happy Days-Milwaukee
Mork and Mindy-Colorado

Fraiser-Seattle
Cheers-Boston

Mary Tyler Moore-Minneapolis
Phyllis-San Francisco

So if someone knows let me know.

Fish lives in the same place as he did on Barney Miller (I think).

Laverne and Shirley wasn't always set in Milwaukee.

And Good Times (which is a spinoff, although you don't consider it one) moved from NY to Chicago.

When Laverne and shirley first spinned off-it was based in milwaukee. And Good Times was not a spinoff of Maude.

Maybe you don't believe it's not a spinoff but me and a majority of the others around here do.

True. But Mork could have been in milwaukee in the year 1978 instead of Colorado.

You forgot about "Perfect Strangers" and "Family Matters." FM, a spinoff from PS, was set in Chicago just like its parent series.

Flash72 · 06-01-2003, 07:20 PM

I just thought of another one. Both the "Jeffersons" and its spinoff, "Checking In" were set in New York City.
