Yep. That's why it wasn't until this year that I found out that it was a spinoff.

Melrose Place NEVER mention 90210, except for in the Pilot episode when Jennie Garth made a brief appearance.

in turn Models Inc., never made referance to Melrose.

Facts of Life: Although Kimberly attended Eastland,she was never mentioned or seen on the show as a guest star after the Different Strokes episode where Mrs. Garrett visits the school and decides to work there.

Bad example, Facts of Life and Different Strokes crossed over several times after Ms. Garrett left Different Strokes

Yes it was.

No it wasn't. Good Times was actually a spin-off of "The Jeffesons".

Elaine Benes · 01-17-2004, 02:22 PM

How is that?

Of course it was. Solomon has no proof that it wasn't.

Logically, Mama's Family never made any reference to The Carol Burnett Show.

I saw on E! True Hollywood Story about Good Times that it was indeed a spinoff of Maude - Florida was Maude's maid. They then gave her a show of her own, but I think I've seen every ep at least 2 times and I don't ever remember them mentioning Maude, nor do I remember seeing Florida on Maude, but my mom says she remembers.

Archie and Edith showed up on the either the Pilot of Maude or the transisition ep - they took a bus to visit her. I don't remember what the occasion was.

Same with Perfect Strangers as previously mentioned. Did Balki and Larry still work at the same place as Harriet Winslow by the time Family Matters started? I first thought it was spin off from the Die Hard movie, because the dad was a cop in that too.

I don't recall any of the Three's Company people visiting Jack once it went to Three's A Crowd (but I could be wrong - I didn't like that show - and I know there was hard feelings over that whole thing) and same for The Ropers (but again, I could be wrong).

I don't recall any of the Star Trek incarnations mentioning much if anything of the previous ones. I never cared for the spinoffs, but my mom watched them faithfully.

Dallas and Knots Landing crossed occasionally, but not too often - especially in later years.

I don't remember them making any mention of Growing Pains during the run of Just The Ten Of Us.

Mork and Mindy never mentioned Happy Days/Laverne and Shirley to the best of my recollection.

Maude never made reference to All in the Family. The episode when Archie and Edith visits Maude is an All in the Family episode. Once Maude started, the show never mentioned or had any vistors from All in The Family.

Larry from Three's Company visited Jack on a episode of Three's a Crowd. I have the episode on Tape.
