Best and Worst Spin-offs

[68wolff]

Real simple - What do you think is the best and worst spin offs.

 

Please list the show it spun off from.

 

Mine are:

Best - NCIS (JAG)

Worst - Any Knight Rider spin off

[Ophelia_Immortal]

Angel was a great spinoff from Buffy

Joey from friends was the worst!

[frenchkiki]

^^Yes! Angel from Buffy (Y)

The worst I would say any spinoff of the original SCI (Vegas)

[Frederick]

Angel and Frasier are the best.

The worst? Any of the ones loosely related to Happy Days, or The Green Green Grass.

[Sweet Lu]

Best: Laverne and Shirley (form Happy Days), Maude (All in the Family), Angel (Buffy)

Worst: Joannie loves Cachi (Happy Days), anything from Beverly Hills 90210 including the new stuff

The Cleveland Show sux ass

[k_dub]

This is a tough one.

I think the original Melrose Place from the original 90210 was pretty good. CSI: Miami as well, though I'm not sure if it had a direct connection to the original CSI.

The worst would be CSI: New York. Just doesn't have the appeal of the other CSI's. Also Law & Order: Trial by Jury. Talk about OVERKILL!!! <_<

Definitely Frasier and Daria for the best. The worst are probably too numerous to count, but Joey springs immediately to mind as it was doomed from minute one.

[Frederick]

The fact that Matt LeBlanc was looking decidedly puffy and middle-aged certainly didn't help the basic premise, which was daft/terrible/fundamentally ludicrous to the character's personality.

[Michael*]

Even a full decade later, it's probably still preferable to pretend that Joey's arc ended with the deconstruction of the foosball table in the Friends finale.

 

Better Call Saul deserves to be added to the conversation of best.
