Default Another Sitcom that is NOT A SPINOFF is .............

Out of the Blue which premeired in the Fall of 1979. The second episode of Out of the Blue crossed over with Happy Days. Lot of people label Out of the Blue as a Happy Days spinoff but it's no way connected to Happy Days. The character (Random) on Out of the Blue, never appeared on Happy Days before 1979. The Crossover attempt was made to Launch the New Comedy Out of the Blue.

Also Out of the Blue is not a spinoff of Mork and Mindy. Mork appeared on the first epsode of Out of the Blue to boost ratings.

One sitcom that was a spinoff was Good Times because it spun off Maude.

The pilot of Out of The Blue was not a Happy Days Episode. On the first episode of Out of The Blue, Mork from Mork and Mindy guest starred to boost ratings. Out of the Blue crossed over with Happy Days in the 3rd week of September in 1979. The character on Out of The Blue, RANDOM guest starred on Happy Days. NOt a spinoff

- And Maude was a spin-off of All in the Family, in other words, Good Times was a spin-off of a spin-off. OK, I'll stop now, that's too much spinning...

Good Times was not a spinoff. I read many articles from 1975 to support that.

You said before that you only read one article. One is not many. Which is it?

I read several articles that support that Good Times is not a spinoff but it was just ONE that actually states that is not a spinoff which was in 1975. Hope that makes sense

You're lying, you said you read one article from Ebony magazine that stated that. Besides, even if you were telling the truth and read several articles, you did say that only ONE article actually said Good Times was not a spinoff. So HOW COULD SEVERAL ARTICLES BACK UP YOUR STUPID STATEMENT?!? I swear Solomon, you pretend to know more than anyone else about sitcoms, but you really don't know SH#T!
