The backstory of the spinoff is that the character's oft-mentioned but never seen husband dies, so she moved in with her mother-in-law to start a new life. (?)

A TV Movie was produced and aired in 2000, featuring two main characters but nobody else from the original show. The star of THIS show was offended that she was not invited to participate in any way; and she picketed the production during shooting days.
Barbara Colby played Julie Erskine in the first three episodes of the series. She and her friend James Kiernan were murdered on July 24, 1975, not long the episode "Up for Grabs" was filmed. The crime remains unsolved.

The original show had three spinoffs: two comedies and a drama. This is one of the comedies.

This Covid crisis has really altered TV schedules. A lot of older stuff came out of the drawers, and a number of new items got rushed into production, while a lot of current stuff got stopped for a season. Some shows, however, managed to retool and continue airing, albeit with some radical changes.
A) This show continued to air through the worst isolation. However, it was great if you wanted to stay current during Black HIstory Month, and it seemed to transform from a comedy show to a "Black Empowerment" show with little humor. Blame the host entirely. who knew all about race relations- in another country but not about the US.
B) This show continued to air through the worst isolation as well. Still airing but still not in its usual studio, the current set is nonetheless decorated and resembles the host's office, imaginary or real, complete with a Captain America shield on the wall and in camera shot. The "meanwhile" feature has been "quarantine-while" for the past year.

B IS "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Actually, right now, it's "A Late Show with Stephen Colbert" until they go back to live audiences in the theater.

For the curious, now that Human has posted the answer, A was "The Daily Show." Host Trevor Noah has an interesting perspective on events like "Black Lives Matter" because he sees them through a filter of growing up in South Africa, then moving to the US, rather than growing up in the US. I've found myself agreeing at points, and disagreeing at points of how to interpret video clips he has aired. After a while, having a long, unbroken run of black guests who were there to talk politics wore thin for me. Hopefully, he's finished with that, at least until next February. (The Daily Show is billed as a COMEDY.)
"A Late Show with Stephen Colbert" aired from SC's house, and now airs from an office in the same building as the Ed Sullivan Theater. A number of his comments show a particularly geeky turn of thought- much moreso since the Covid crisis began and he may be winging it more.
While we're here and waiting for the next post, what was the movie in the last Hogan's Heroes clue?
There was a lawsuit brought by the makers of a movie that shared a number of elements with the series. The jury found they were too similar, but a federal judge overruled them and said there was a "striking difference in the dramatic mood of the two works."
I would guess "Stalag 17," which predated HH by about a decade.
"Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski, the writers of the 1951 play Stalag 17, a World War II prisoner-of-war story turned into a 1953 feature film by Paramount Pictures, sued Bing Crosby Productions, the show’s producer, for infringement. Their lawsuit was unsuccessful. While the jury found in favor of the plaintiffs, a federal judge overruled them. The judge found "striking difference in the dramatic mood of the two works."[12][17]"

I'm not clear what your point is then. I don't think I'm much older than anyone here. I thought the whole point of this game was to stir memories ,and realize-'oh yeah-I do remember that show !' I'm

In the "Jump the Shark" episode of Batman B&B, they go through all of the ways to JTS listed on that website, including having Ted McGinley on! :lol: George

C) The DC/Fawcett character must be Captain Marvel, now known as Shazam. I think the show is Beat Shazam George

Actually, I might have watched a couple of episodes. Not really my cup of tea.
Back soon with a new one.

It is.
The Mary Tyler Moore "reunion" movie excluded Phyllis, so Cloris Leachman actually picketed the production.
She won a Best Supporting Actress award for "The Last Picture Show" and played Granny in the Beverly Hillbillies movie.
Phyllis's husband, Lars, was never seen.
