Spin off series?
Any ideas of a spin off series you could see happening? How about "Sheldon's World"? Lol
shareI'm pretty sure there won't be one. I suspect a lot of people would tune in to watch "Sheldon's World" though, as he tries to rebuild his previous totally-Sheldon-centric existence with a new roommate after Leonard and Penny moved away and Amy dumped him.
And, of course, it's a requirement of the ancient scripture that somebody mentions "The Continuing Adventures of Captain Sweatpants" at this point ...
After BBT ends, I could see a spin centered on the comic book store, not sure how well it would do, for spin-off to be successful, it needs to create an identity unique from the mother show, think Frasier or Maude.
shareMaude I've never heard of. Frasier I'll give you as it was one of my favourites of all time. :)
shareHow often while watching Frasier did you think of Cheers?
shareHow often while watching NCIS did you think of JAG? That show must be the most successful spin-off of all times.
shareYou may well be right. Perhaps too closely related a spin-off is less likely to fail; certainly, apart from those episodes featuring a Cheers guest star, they didn't make much of it in Frasier.
Sheldon dumped by Amy and fired from Caltech because his research grants dried up, back in Texas or gone to some new campus, would serve for comedic potential; but still, I'm pretty sure we are speculating fruitlessly.

This sounds way too much like Joey. And we all know how this turned out. share
I think The Simpsons is the most successful spin-off show of all-time. In case you forgot, it was a spin-off of The Tracey Ullman Show.
shareThe ol' answer a question with a question lame ploy. Since you mention answered the Cheers/Frasier question we can just ignore your question.
I think the first season or so I viewed this through the prism of Cheers. After season 2 or 3 this show created such a unique experience that was all its own and completely separate and different from Cheers that you quickly forgot all about that.

You're right. The spin off surpassed the original. If Diane Neil hadn't of objected there would have been a CGIS as well.
I remember the 2 part JAG episode where they introduced Gibbs and NCIS, which was re-cut as a single episode in syndication. Thought there was too much back story about the investigators and smelled a spin-off. CBS never answered my e-mail asking but, it did happen.

A rich distant relative leaves Stuart a large sum of money, so he buys a struggling independant comic book publishing company. The show is a workplace comedy.

Some people still wouldn't watch that unless his first new title was "The Adventures of Captain Sweatpants."
