I was doing a cross word puzzle and came across one that was of TV spin offs. I found out I have a ton of nonsense information running around in my head. Since I go to the doctor today for a needless stress test, instead of boring you with the details of why I think it is unnecessary and why I am dreading it. I decided I would inform you of the beginnings of these spin offs. I can hope you will take this info with you and I will have more room for serious thoughts and important information. So here is the list of spin offs and the shows they spun off from.....
A Different World... Of course it was the Cosby Show. Denise went to school there for what a season.
Benson... Different Strokes. Benson used to work for the family.
Bionic Woman..... DUH, Bionic Man.
The Colby's.... Dynasty. My brother had to watch both, it drove me crazy! Dynasty came on at the same time as Quincey. I never got to watch it again!
CSI: Miami... Another DUH moment.... CSI
Daria..... Beevis and Butthead, never watched it, but I was forced to watch Beevis and Butthead, I had 2 boys.
Empty Nest... Golden Girls, I hate to admit to watching it and knowing that the dad was a neighbor to the "girls".
Facts of Life...... Different Strokes.... I watched mainly for George Clooney who was on it for a couple of seasons.
Family Matters.... Perfect Strangers, I admit I had to look up the name of the show, I remembered Balki, but not the name of the show.
Flo.... Alice, another one I hate to admit watching.
Frasier..... Cheers. I loved that show.
Gomer Pyle, USMC.....Of course Andy Griffith. I have watched Andy take Gomer to basics too many times to count.
Good Times..... Maude......Which is a spin off of All In the Family! I remember when Michael got shot and when Penny was abused.
Green Acres.... I believe it came from Petticoat Junction, which both are too old for me to remember.
Jefferson's..... All in the Family
Joanie Loves Chachi..... Oh, I loved Scott Baio!
Just the ten of us..... Growing Pains
Knot's Landing......Dallas.....Again my brother had to watch both!
Laverne and Shirley......Happy Days. It is the reason I "know" all those songs from the 50s and 60s.
Lou Grant.....Mary Tyler Moore..... I never watched either.
Melrose Place.....Beverly HIlls 90210.... I had to watch Luke Perry!!!
Mork and Mindy...... Happy Days.....I remember the times Mork visited. And I loved it when Jonathon Winters played their son.
Rhoda....Again Mary Tyler Moore and I never watched it either.
The Roper's...... Three's Company. I miss John Ritter.
Star Trek Deep Space Nine......DURRRRR, Star Trek
Trapper John M.D........ Mash.....There was a couple of spin offs from Mash, but nothing else made it long.
Xena Warrior Princess..... Hercules. I never watched either but my oldest son liked them.
OK, I admit I had never heard of Booker.....It was a spin off of 21 Jump Street. I didn't watch it, I had not developed my love of Johnny Depp at that point!
And another show I did not know was a spin off.........The Andy Griffith Show! I found out through a little research it was a spin off of The Danny Thomas Show.
And so what was the show with the most spin offs? I thought maybe Andy Griffith but I was wrong. It was actually All in the Family!
So did you know all that already? I was shocked to know I knew most of them and ashamed to admit I had watched most of them!!!
My favorite show of all time? I can't say, I loved a lot of them.... All in the Family, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, MASH, Three's Company, Growing Pains, Maude, Perfect Strangers,The Cosby Show.......
One of my favorite old show I guess would have to be Quincey. I remember watching the one about the Plague and it was continued to the next week and my brother wouldn't let me watch it. Years later I was watching reruns and I watched the first one again and missed the second part! I have never seen the second part of it. If anyone knows how it turned out let me know. I know Quincey doesn't die but I have no clue how he solved it!!!!
So what is your all time favorite show? What spin offs do you remember? Any not on the list? Come on enlighten me, let me know I am not the only one who watches too much TV!!! Until next time....
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!!!

Daria! I loved her. She was such a great character. Friends of ours named their baby Daria; she's 7 or 8 now, and a great kid.
I watched the Daria musical with my daughter many years ago - we still quote it.
Fraid you lost me with this one! Haven't got a clue about most of these programmes so I just went through saying 'huh?'
Glad to see you back up and running with a smile on your face too!
I LOVED QUINCEY!!!! I remember watching it with my mom. I also loved Murder She Wrote. Me and the girls (mainly the girls since I've been busy) are going thru season by season. If you don't have Blockbuster Online, you need it. I get new movies at the store but old TV shows in the mail. Another detective show of that era was Andy Griffith in Matlock. Remember the grey pinstripe suit he always wore. Plus Don Knotts was a regular. Fun times.
@ Daisy.... Daria is one I didn't watch, but I remember her.
@Tismee2.... All are from the 80s, maybe 70s and American. We love our junk TV!! heh! And if you haven't heard of Andy Griffith get yourself TBS and you too can watch it 100 times a day!!!
@patty.....I forgot about Matlock. I will have to check out Blockbuster Online, maybe I might get to see the end of that Quincey! heh!!
I thought Joanie Loves Chachi was a spinoff of Happy Days? I watched Happy Days but apparently never saw the shows where Mork visited.
@DSB.....Joanie Loves Chachi was from Happy Days, I forgot to add that didn't I. Mork was on Happy Days twice I think, maybe three times. He had a "cool off" with the Fonz. heh!!
i don't watch t.v., i just blog, blob blog
@ putz....You didn't watch TV in the 80s? That's when these shows were on. You seem like a Quincey man to me.
