Spinoff of a spinoff


I was chatting recently about this show, and it got me thinking about this topic. The show in question is Models Inc. which spun off from Melrose Place, which was a spinoff of Beverly Hills 90210. The only other one I could think of was Checking In spun off from The Jeffersons, which of course was a spinoff of All in the Family. Can you think of others? I wouldn't mind also calling out shows that most people wouldn't know are spinoffs.

Oh Mork & Mindy!

Retraction, I thought it spun off from Laverne and Shirley, but it was Happy Days directly

reply

In my country are so many of them,the same shit different name

reply

First...Great post! Second...maybe good times...spun from maude...spun from AitF

reply

Great example, Good Times is indeed a spinoff of a spinoff, there's gotta be more

reply

Deliciousfeet shines with pride! I'm sure you are correct...but I can not come up with another...doh!

reply

The truth will out! We'll get to the bottom of this, Deliciousfeet. By the way, do you have a short form of your username you like? I was gonna call you feet but it seemed strange, and Dfeet could be interpretted negatively.

reply

Whatever works for you my man! I can always tell if negativity is being directed at me...happens all the timeπŸ˜‰

reply

Empty Nest was a spinoff from Golden Girls, and Nurses was a spinoff from Empty Nest.

I used to love Empty Nest, great show. Watched Golden Girls here and there, and liked it, but never really stuck with it.

reply

The horrible sitcom Nurses.

this one is crazy

reply

Oh yeah I knew Andy Griffith Show was a spinoff bit I couldn't remember from what.

reply

Thanks, comprehensive

reply

Yeah...comprehensively dead thread nowπŸ˜‰
Great idea for a topic!!!

reply

Oh well, more threads can always be made

reply

Yeah...besides it was pretty tapped out...I mean most on the big list weren't what we were looking for...no reality and no talk shows...that Andy Griffith was a damn good call though!

reply

Yeah reality and talk wasn't really what I was looking for. I'm sure there're probably ones not even on that list though

reply

Cartoons maybe...did king of the hill have a spin off? It was spun from beavis and butthead...so perhaps

IMDB lists those as sequels. You should start a topic on TV series sequels.

Okay.

I was going off wikipedia, but I'll take IMDB as more authoritative on this subject.

You're going to love this one. I present you the yet released Scorpion King 5: Book of Souls.

It is the 3rd sequel of a spinoff and prequel within another prequel, based on a popular remake of a B&W classic, coexisting alongside an unrelated recent reboot despite paralleling the same franchise and all being the shared property of Universal.

Try to wrap your head around that one.
