According to "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946-Present," which counts "grandchildren," AITF is the all-time spin-off champion. "All in the Family's" three official spin-offs were "Gloria," "The Jeffersons" and "Maude." "Maude" spun-off "Good Times" and "The Jeffersons" spun-off "Checking In" (a short-lived series featuring Marla Gibbs' Florence character). That makes a total of five AITF spin-offs. Yeah I cheated a little, so sue me

Now I ask again:

Golden Girls:
1.
2.

[Negotiator]

I know Golden Palace was one of them...Don Cheadle was in it.. Its sucked big time.....

[boo_radley]

Yes that's one of them and the other one invloved one of their neighbors.

By the way, there was apparently another Happy Days spin-off called "Out of the Blue." And I ask again, in addition to the missing Golden Girls spin-off, what show begat Happy Days?

[user name]

Happy Days came from Love American Style!!!

And Empty Nest was considered a spin-off of Golden Girls, as well as a show I think was called Nurses- or was it considered a spin-off of Empty Nest.

[boo_radley]

I think Nurses came from Empty Nest

Now someone go find the spin-offs to "The Danny Thomas Show"

I thought Happy Days came from American Grafitti?

[boo_radley]

Love American Style
Trivia: This series had more indirect spin-offs than any other American TV series. The following series can trace their roots back to this show (most via the episode "Love and Happy Days"): "Barefoot in the Park" (1970), "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" (1972), "Happy Days" (1974), "Laverne & Shirley" (1976), "Laverne & Shirley with the Fonz" (1976), "Blansky's Beauties" (1977), "Mork & Mindy" (1978), "Out of the Blue" (1979), "Fonz and the Happy Days Gang" (1980), "Laverne and Shirley in the Army" (1981), "The Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley with the Fonz Show" (1982), "Joanie Loves Chachi" (1982) - and possibly others

I found this on the net



It's a common belief that George Lucas' American Graffiti (1973) was the inspiration for this series. In actuality, the pilot for the series (seen on "Love, American Style" (1969)) aired before Lucas began production on his film. However, the success of that movie caused producer Garry Marshall to reconsider his failed pilot and turn it into a series.

Funny, but I didn't mean it that way

The Danny Thomas show begat The Andy Griffith Show, which in turn spun-off Gomer Pyle USMC and Mayberry RFD.

Now somebody do the Mary Tyler Moore Show
