Spinoff

From ARFOPEDIA

When TV people can't think of an original idea, which is most of the time, they quite often will take an already successful tv show, pick something from that show which is popular, and start a new tv based around that. This is called a spinoff.

[edit] Good spinoffs

• Frasier
• The Real Ghostbusters
• Brass Eye
• Stargate SG-1

[edit] Bad spinoffs

• Mork & Mindy
• Babylon 5

[edit] Spinoffs that are so utterly wretchedly shit that they make you unable to believe that the original programme could ever have been any good
