Human without the bean

You're wasting your breath WordWolf.

Ding Ding Ding! I've heard of Laura Mars. Just don't have the foggiest idea who this is.

Well it's certainly is your right to question whether the spinoffs named by IMDB are correct or not. They define a spin-off as "a new series which contains either characters, a different character or theme elements from a previous series". If Mork was a character from "Happy Days" then "Mork and Mindy" would be a spin-off. I think this is valid . IMDB also defines a spin-off as "characters [who] "are engineered" to introduce a new character on the original television series, just so that character can anchor the new spin-off". I really don't want to debate about this with you WW. I will agree with you though that there is some trouble when you make another show about the same thing and just change the name of the show. "Archie Bunker's Place" was not a spin-off but what fun it is to talk about it in this forum.

I knew it was Gloria by ~Them~, ~Tom Petty~ and many others but I didn't want to say anything. So if you want to take it WW go ahead. I guess I was just waiting for someone else to play this thread with me and George.

This is a list from a wikipedia website that I found with the most spinoffs from a tv series. Television spin-offs Top Five with the Most spinoffs are: All in The Family 1971-79 5 spinoffs. Two others Checking In (1981) and Good Times (1974) are potentially included.

Armchair Mystery Theatre (1960) Out of This World (1962) Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width (1967-71) Callan (1967-72) Armchair Thriller (1967, 78-81) Armchair 30 (1973) All That 1994, 2000, 2002-05 6 spin-offs Those of us with kids will recognize some of these from Nickelodeon.

You seem to remember quite well George. It's Jean by ~Oliver~.

George let's see if this helps.

I'm using a link from wikipedia and I see at least 5 spinoffs for all the top series who spinned off. (Ha Ha) Happy Days had 6 spinoffs. All in The Family had 5.

You've got a couple there George. I should have added no sequels to the list. This premise is simple. Some great shows on television affected more of the same and the results were great spin-offs. I'm not looking for Law and Order Miami, New York, etc. just some of the originals shows that held up and arguably now are still as good as anything on the tube today since the 90's.

That's him. Erroneously quoted in Apollo 13 by Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks). But in actuality it was astronaut Jim Swigart who said "OK Houston, we've had a problem here".

Not including animated or reality tv or talk shows name four of the top five television series to produce the most spin offs? So like, the show "Pawn Stars" has produced three spin offs. Cajun Pawn Stars, American Restoration, and Counting Cars. OK. I think it's going to be kind of easy for you guys to come up with this. So that's why I am asking for four of the top five.

I knew the song was from Grease but the name escaped me. Is it Summer Nights by Olivia Newton John or both ONJ and John Travolta?

I am? Let me get this straight. My answer on 10/28/17 was correct. Now on 12/6/17 I'm just finding out about it. Is that right?

Matthew Broderick's character's name was Philippe Gaston. I should know. I'm from a town in Oregon called Gaston.

"Steven Seagal"

Not to get to far away from our point but, I think Marisa Tomei is a wonderful actress and her performance is what brought her the Academy Award. Anna Paquin also received an Oscar for The Piano when she was only 11 yr.old. Hollywood and audiences both alike love a fresh new face on the big screen. Anyway, I'm getting away from the topic.

Yes I do. Yes I do. Yes I do.

Oh, I get it now. I've never heard about that thread here before. I have heard of that Allen movie Bananas. Don't think that I have ever seen it though.

Well I was sort of using the reply by Raf, (the picture of Chris Evans as Capt. Marvel?) as being encryptic (come on Raf, you know that's how you are) and as a way to insert my disdain about my having to keep logging in over and over and over. I never log out it's just that I can't stay logged in. If I browse another site for 5 or 10 minutes I am automatically logged out again. Everytime I try to log-in I am told that my username and password are incorrect (Of course they aren't). I never used to log out ever and for the past year or more I can't re-log into greasespot anymore unless I try the "forgot the password" tab because I can't log in directly. So enough of my problems WordWolf is up.

Encryption? Why doesn't greasespot have an HTPPS:// address Raf? I have to go to "forgot my password" every time I want to log in and then retrieve it from my email and then change my password. As long as we're talking encryption anyway.

This then is the "bananas" thing on the characters thread that I just viewed a while ago. How was that related to me George? WordWolf? I have never heard of "Bananas"!

First of all George I have no single idea what you are talking about. Secondly, it's your clue up on the boards now, and I don't have a clue what it is. Thirdly, in response to WW's answer if that is his way of moving this thread along I'm all for it.
