What's your favorite spin-off? (the sitcom edition)

[underpants]

ON EDIT-Family Matters "Urkel" was a spin off of the classic Perfect Strangers "Balki"(it didn't fit in the poll I guess).

I am leaving off the Simpsons as that is a no brainer.

Here is a website of spinoffs both real and contrived

1. The Ropers

Clearly the best spin off ever.

2. Lou Grant

It was great to see Ed Asner in a starring role, especially when his politics was a detriment to his career some circles. Also Nancy Marchland as the Newspaper publisher was great.

4. True but it wasn't a sitcom

I'm sorry but the judges will not allow that.

3. Good Times: Maude from All in the Family??????

Wasn't "Maude" based on Maude from All in the Family?

Good Times was spun off from Maude, I think, as "Florida" was the maid in Maude.

Right?

5. Maude was also Edith's cousin on AITF.

7. Okay right that's it

I couldn't remember what the connection was exactly

6. Maude was Edith's sister or she was married to Edith's brother

One of those

I never was much of a fan of the show Maude except for Adrianne Barboux YOWZA!!!!!!!!!!

8. The Jeffersons

I mean, it was spun off from the best sitcom ever. So thus, it has to be the best spin off ever.
