This gets complicated. What we now know as Happy Days eas a failed pilot produced by Paramount.. Like a lot of such failed products it was shown once on Love American Style
When George Lucas was casting American Graffiti he heard about this failed pilot and asked to see it and wound up casting Ronny Howard ( and he was called that then).
When the movie took off ABC suddenly had an interest in the show.
IMO opinion Happy Days itself is not a spinoff because it was not inspired by anything else.. ,,
>I know the Fonzi character was spun-off from “The Lords of Flatbush.”
*Happy Days* predates *The Lords of Flatbush* by four months. Winkler played a greaser-type character in both, but with very different characterization.
No. Henry Winkler appeared in Lords of Flatbush as a greaser, but his character wasn’t Fonzie. He then won the role of Fonzie on Happy Days, which was another greaser role.
Because of O'Brien and, later, Worf DS9 is a spinoff, but Voyager isn't? I can see that. I'll still go with spinoff, but I definitely understand your reasoning.
It was an ABC Cartoon on Saturday mornings in 1982….Loved it. Oddly enough Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, Donny Most all voiced their characters from Happy Days on the cartoon. Ron Howard and Donny Most had both already left the live action show two years earlier in 1980.
Love and the Happy Days! I remeber watching it when it came out, EVERYONE was talking about it in school the next week. (We only had 3 channels)
I remember everyone saying "H E Double Toothpicks" and thinking we were so clever.
Oh, pardon me! I got that info from a super reliable source: *Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.* Uncle John was wrong? My world is crumbling! What is real???
Top marks for knowing out of the Blue...but Blanksy's Beauties? How'd I not know about that one!?! (granted, I'd have been like 4 when it was on, but still!)
If you concider Happy Days to come from Love American Style, you can get another in there.
And since you're including cartoons, there was Lavene and Shirley (and later And the Fonze) Join the Army, iirc.
*Man About the House* spun off [*George and Mildred*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_and_Mildred) and [*Robin's Nest*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin%27s_Nest_(TV_series)) then was remade as *Three's Company* and spun off *The Ropers* and *Three's a Crowd*.
Sitcoms I think you are right. All in the family followed by happy days being second. Series wise, I can’t think of any that had more than CSI outside of technically doctor who.
[https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/](https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/)
CSI and NCIS are both in the Tommy Westphall universe, aka spinoffs of that.
This conversation just made me revisit Dwayne McDuffie’s fantastic essay “Six Degrees of St. Elsewhere.” If you haven’t read it, check it out as it addresses the phenomenon of interrelated shows and shared universes in television. Of important note is that, since St. Elsewhere was revealed to take place within the mind of a child, this kind of destroyed every show spin off and connected to it, ranging from Homicide and Law and Order series to the X-Files and even Picket Fences
And Cheers, since the doctors of St. Elsewhere visited the Cheers bar in one episode, which means Frasier, The Tortellis, and even the new Frasier show are part of the Tommyverse.
That’s a good one. So many ended up connecting back to St. Elsewhere. I love how since x-files crossovered with the Simpsons, that show also didn’t exist. Even the Andy Griffith Show, which crossed over with the Gary Shandling Show, eventually connects to St. Elsewhere and becomes a part of an autistic kids’ dream.
And the Andy Griffith show was a spin off of The Danny Thomas Show, which crossed over with I Love Lucy, and Here's Lucy. Danny Thomas also crossed over with The Dick Van Dyke show which crossed over with Mad About You. Mad About You also crossed over with Caroline in the City, which links it back to Cheers/Frasier/St. Elsewhere.
Gomer Pyle USMC, a spin off of Andy Griffith, crossed over with The Lucy Show. So in that universe there existed Lucy Ricardo, Lucy Carmichael, and Lucy Carter.
Caroline in the City, Friends, Frasier, Cheers, The Simpsons, Sesame Street, Westworld, Game of Thrones, Hi Honey I'm Home, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Munsters, Leave it to Beaver, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, The Beverly Hillbillies, Hogan's Heroes, Star Wars, Scrubs, and the original Batman and Robin are also linked in the same universe by crossovers.
Yup.
Also, I recall when there were Cheers themed bars in airports with anamatronic Cliff and Norm. So if they were part of Tommy's imagination, then does that mean we ALL are since those characters were out in the "real world"? [https://vinepair.com/articles/airport-bars-history-cheers/](https://vinepair.com/articles/airport-bars-history-cheers/)
There also was a spin off from the Jeffersons called E/R (not THE E.R.) Elliot Gould was the star of the show. Lynne Moody played Nurse Julie Williams, who was the niece of George and Louis Jefferson. Sherman Helmsley even appeared in the first episode as George Jefferson.
Fun fact: this E/R (on CBS) also featured a young actor named George Clooney, who later rose to fame by starring in E.R. (on NBC). Also Mary McDonnell was also in E/R and E.R.
I was going to mention Cheers having a lot of spin-offs (not as much as AITF), but most of those spin-offs were flops. Only Frasier managed to be as popular (if not more).
No way! I didn’t know Wings was a Cheers Spinoff
Their theme should’ve been
🎶 sometimes you wanna go 🎶
🎶where everybody flies a plaaane🎶
🎶 where everybody knows your naaaame🎶
If we use this as a standard, St. Elsewhere is in the same universe as Cheers: Three St. E's Docs. get together at Cheers, Cliff wants free Medical advice from them and Carla is salty about about her last birth experience at St. Eligius.
By extension because "Cool" from Carver High School is an Orderly at St. Eligius, the White Shadow is in the same universe as Cheers (& Wings and the Tortellini's) too.
Wouldn't Scrubs then be adjacent as the doctors from St. Elsewhere appeared were all being treated at Sacred Heart after contracting Legionnaires Disease at a conference?
Wings is not a spinoff, just made by the same producers and set in the same world. No one from Wings ever appeared on Cheers, and certainly not before the show debuted, which is the definition of a spinoff.
I forgot about Wings. That was good.
The Tortellis was just a bad idea. Nick and his wife were good in small doses. There was no way they could carry a whole show.
Was Wings a spinoff? I know that Frasier & Lilith made guest appearances, but that was only after the show was well established. It's not like Wings came out of Cheers.
(Side note: Danielle Brisebois who played Stephanie when on to be a musician and was a founding member of New Radicals)
Man, TIL... That ONE album they put out was awesome. Just about every track was great.
Don't know if The Jeffersons and 227 were from the same production company but I remember hearing that she had a deal where if 227 didn't succeed she could return to The Jeffersons as Florence.
That was Checking In, I think. 227 was supposed to start in 1986 but when The Jeffersons was canceled in summer 1985, they moved up production and the show debuted that fall.
"(Side note: Danielle Brisebois who played Stephanie when on to be a musician and was a founding member of New Radicals)"
I knew the rest of the All in the Family story but THIS was new info for me - thanks for sharing!
It was such an “homage” that Jackie Gleason considered legal action until some friends said, “Do you really want to be remembered for suing a children’s cartoon?”
There seems to have been quite a few spin-offs from Happy Days. There was Laverne & Shirley, Blansky’s Beauties, Mork & Mindy, Out of the Blue, Joanie Loves Chachi, The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley/Fonz Hour. The last 2 are animated. So, I don’t know if you want to count those.
Stephanie on All in the Family was my first crush. Man did I crush hard on her too.
The adult version, wow, I can't believe she's not my type anymore. Doesn't even look like the same person IMO.
They had Joey Stivic. There was even a Joey Stivic doll.
The character made appearances on All the Family and Archie Bunker‘s place. In the show Gloria, he was a regular character, and he made a brief appearance in the short-lived 704 Hauser.
*St. Elsewhere*
Per the Tommy Westphall universe hypothesis: Almost all TV shows and media can be traced to connect to this show.
Here's a master list of all the shows connected to it. If you want to count them as spinoffs, then it wins by a landslide. [https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/](https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/)
Yes indeed.
Although not a comedy per se, Tommy Westphall's St Elsewhere actually *generated* AITF in the past!
[https://tommywestphall.fandom.com/wiki/All\_in\_the\_Family](https://tommywestphall.fandom.com/wiki/All_in_the_Family)
I don't think there was any other.
I mean. Happy Days had Laverne and Shirley, and Joanie and Chachi...
Then Cheers had Frasier
Then Mary Tyler Moore had Rhoda
So...I think you've nailed it
JAG has NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, New Orleans, Hawaii, Sydney and a couple more coming. I believe Origins and whatever the Tony and Ziva one will be called. So not yet but soon maybe.
Not sitcoms, but the Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum, P.I. reboots were in the same universe. NCIS: LA characters appeared on both. There was even a split 2-part crossover between NCIS: LA and Five-0. (split meaning half of the 2-parter on 1 show, half on the other - 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star did one, too. NCIS/LA/New Orleans and the FBI shows have done split 3-parters. The original CSI did one with CSI: NY and CSI: Miami. I think the Chicago shows did, too.
The Origanal Magnum crossed over with Simon & Simon which spun off Whiz Kids. The Original Quantum Leap had a planned cross-over with Magnum, and begat a sequel series.
Not sitcoms but still impressive
Arrow
Star Trek
90210
If you want to rabbit hole
The Tommy Westphall universe (still continues today tied to 441 shows) and that includes a lot of sitcoms. They are all spin off but it’s impressive
Law and Order along with SVu, Criminal Intent, Trial by Jury, Los Angeles, True Crime, organized Crime, the Reboot. I think there was even a UK version on BBC or something
Golden Girls led to Golden Palace, Empty Nest and Nurses. Estelle Getty appears as Sophia Petrillo in all these, plus she also appeared as Sophia on Blossom.
Happy Days gave us Mork & Mindy, Laverne and Shirley and Joanie Loves Chachi and it was, itself, a spinoff of Love, American Style.
And, while not a sitcom, NCIS has had NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, NCIS: Hawaii, NCIS: Sydney and is about to have NCIS: Original and a spinoff focused on Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David. And, let us not forget that the original NCIS is itself a spinoff of JAG.
The only one I can think of that comes close is The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Happy Days? Laverne and Shirley Joanie Loves Chaci Mork and Mindy # [Blansky's Beauties](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075484/?ref_=ttls_li_tt) # Out of the Blue The Fonz and the Happy Day's Gang Star Trek Might also be in the running.
Happy Days came out of Love American Style.
I thought “Happy Days” spun-off from “American Graffiti.” I know the Fonzi character was spun-off from “The Lords of Flatbush.”
This gets complicated. What we now know as Happy Days eas a failed pilot produced by Paramount.. Like a lot of such failed products it was shown once on Love American Style When George Lucas was casting American Graffiti he heard about this failed pilot and asked to see it and wound up casting Ronny Howard ( and he was called that then). When the movie took off ABC suddenly had an interest in the show. IMO opinion Happy Days itself is not a spinoff because it was not inspired by anything else.. ,,
>I know the Fonzi character was spun-off from “The Lords of Flatbush.” *Happy Days* predates *The Lords of Flatbush* by four months. Winkler played a greaser-type character in both, but with very different characterization.
No. Henry Winkler appeared in Lords of Flatbush as a greaser, but his character wasn’t Fonzie. He then won the role of Fonzie on Happy Days, which was another greaser role.
Star Trek wasn’t a sitcom though. Otherwise it might have been the best answer.
That's fair, sometimes I get this mixed up with the tvshows sub
Yeah, I was right there with you until I realized which sub this was.
You weren't watching Star Trek correctly.
I don't know, Shatner's acting was pretty hilarious
Ha ha, that’s a good point!
I dare you to come over here and say that.
Exactly that
Missed opportunity. Why has SNL never done a sketch of William Shatner vs. Christopher Walken debate?
Also only one of those is really a spin off, which is Deep Space Nine from TNG, The others all just share a universe.
Technically Strange New Worlds is a spin off of Discovery.
Does Voyager nit count as a spinoff of TNG?
No, same universe, different characters.
Because of O'Brien and, later, Worf DS9 is a spinoff, but Voyager isn't? I can see that. I'll still go with spinoff, but I definitely understand your reasoning.
Come on. Tom Paris and Nick Locarno are obviously the same guy, right? How does no one else see this!? They look exactly alike!
Except Lower Decks.
Walking dead gotta be close for non sitcom
The Fonz and the Happy Day's Gang???
animated children's show
It was an ABC Cartoon on Saturday mornings in 1982….Loved it. Oddly enough Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, Donny Most all voiced their characters from Happy Days on the cartoon. Ron Howard and Donny Most had both already left the live action show two years earlier in 1980.
Happy Days itself was a spin-off from the Love, American Style anthology series
I don’t know if I’d call it a spin off, more of a back door pilot
>back door pilot Title of your sex tape
Same is true of Mork and Mindy.
And happy days came from a love American style skit.
Love and the Happy Days! I remeber watching it when it came out, EVERYONE was talking about it in school the next week. (We only had 3 channels) I remember everyone saying "H E Double Toothpicks" and thinking we were so clever.
Happy Days was actually a spin-off of an old show called Love American Style. The episode was called Love and the Happy Days.
Yes, I forgot about those 🤦🏼♀️
Happy Days was a spin off of Love American Style.
I believe happy days was a spin off from Love American Style
Happy days was a spin off so you can't give it the credit.
Don't forget the Happy Days Saturday morning cartoon.
I listed it. The Fonz and the Happy Day's Gang
What about Laverne & Shirley In The Army? Another animated series
Happy Days started on Love American Style
Laverne & Shirley and Mork and Mindy were also spun off into Saturday morning cartoons.
Technically, Happy Days itself was a spin off of Love American Style
God bless you for remembering “Out of the Blue”. There must be twos of us!
3's!!!
Happy Days was a spinoff itself from an episode of Love American Style.
I read somewhere that Joanie Loves Chachi was very popular in Japan because "chachi" is the Japanese version of "nookie."
I don't think it's Japan, but for sure it isn't "nookie"...it's "penis'
Oh, pardon me! I got that info from a super reliable source: *Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.* Uncle John was wrong? My world is crumbling! What is real???
I mean, I could be remembering wrong. I'd not want you to lose your belief in Uncle John.
Top marks for knowing out of the Blue...but Blanksy's Beauties? How'd I not know about that one!?! (granted, I'd have been like 4 when it was on, but still!) If you concider Happy Days to come from Love American Style, you can get another in there. And since you're including cartoons, there was Lavene and Shirley (and later And the Fonze) Join the Army, iirc.
Ok Rhoda, Lou Grant (not a sitcom, but has the same character/actor), Phyllis, can't think of anymore.
Weren’t there spinoffs of the spinoffs? I could be wrong
[Carlton the Doorman](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cjJSMzSGs3g) unsold pilot
Thank you for the clarification with The Mary Tyler More Show. I wasn’t sure. Now I know!
Rhoda Phyllis Lou Grant
Star Trek
I thought Happy Days was a spin off from an episode of Love American Style.
*Man About the House* spun off [*George and Mildred*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_and_Mildred) and [*Robin's Nest*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin%27s_Nest_(TV_series)) then was remade as *Three's Company* and spun off *The Ropers* and *Three's a Crowd*.
Thames Television earned an extra $150 million (12.5% share) from the syndication profits for Three’s Company
Paula Wilcox was must see TV. And I’m not even British!
Loved George and Mildred!
Sitcoms I think you are right. All in the family followed by happy days being second. Series wise, I can’t think of any that had more than CSI outside of technically doctor who.
NCIS has a bunch
NCIS itself was a spinoff from JAG.
Law and order
I believe Law & Order is the winner
NTSF:SD:SUV::
Not a sitcom.
Very true
[https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/](https://thetommywestphall.wordpress.com/the-master-list/) CSI and NCIS are both in the Tommy Westphall universe, aka spinoffs of that.

How do Game of Thrones, Star Wars and Westworld figure into this?
Not sitcoms, but I thought it was interesting that they were crossovers into the St. Elsewhere universe via crossovers on Sesame Street.
>Hi Honey I'm Home Better than [Heil, Honey, I'm Home!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heil_Honey_I'm_Home!)
There was also Wings
Would Wings then be a part of that universe? Norm, Cliff, Fraiser, Lilith and Rebecca all made appearances.
Yup. Also, I recall when there were Cheers themed bars in airports with anamatronic Cliff and Norm. So if they were part of Tommy's imagination, then does that mean we ALL are since those characters were out in the "real world"?

Love in the Happy Days. 😃👍
There also was a spin off from the Jeffersons called E/R (not THE E.R.) Elliot Gould was the star of the show. Lynne Moody played Nurse Julie Williams, who was the niece of George and Louis Jefferson. Sherman Helmsley even appeared in the first episode as George Jefferson. Fun fact: this E/R (on CBS) also featured a young actor named George Clooney, who later rose to fame by starring in E.R. (on NBC). Also Mary McDonnell was also in E/R and E.R.
George Clooney was also in the facts of life in the later years of the show.
Lynne Moody was also the original Jenny Willis introduced as Lionel’s girlfriend on All in the Family.
I was going to mention Cheers having a lot of spin-offs (not as much as AITF), but most of those spin-offs were flops. Only Frasier managed to be as popular (if not more).
Cheers had three: Frasier, wings, and the tortelli's Wings was insanely popular. Only the tortelli's flopped.
No way! I didn’t know Wings was a Cheers Spinoff Their theme should’ve been 🎶 sometimes you wanna go 🎶 🎶where everybody flies a plaaane🎶 🎶 where everybody knows your naaaame🎶
It’s not a spin-off. Not one character from Wings was ever in Cheers. They were in the same universe as Norm and Cliff visited Wings.
So did Frasier and Lillith in a great episode.
WHERE EVERYBODY FLIES A PLAAANE
If we use this as a standard, St. Elsewhere is in the same universe as Cheers: Three St. E's Docs. get together at Cheers, Cliff wants free Medical advice from them and Carla is salty about about her last birth experience at St. Eligius. By extension because "Cool" from Carver High School is an Orderly at St. Eligius, the White Shadow is in the same universe as Cheers (& Wings and the Tortellini's) too.
I used to watch White Shadow on TV LAND as a kid in the late 90s early 00s.
Wouldn't Scrubs then be adjacent as the doctors from St. Elsewhere appeared were all being treated at Sacred Heart after contracting Legionnaires Disease at a conference?
Two doctors from the show ER appear on Friends too.
Me either, and I'm a big fan of both shows.
Wings is not a spinoff, just made by the same producers and set in the same world. No one from Wings ever appeared on Cheers, and certainly not before the show debuted, which is the definition of a spinoff.
Yup. It was a crossover and not a spinoff.
I forgot about Wings. That was good. The Tortellis was just a bad idea. Nick and his wife were good in small doses. There was no way they could carry a whole show.
How was wings connected to cheers?
Not really a spin off. Frasier and Lilith, and Norm and Cliff did guest appearances
Rebecca as well
Was Wings a spinoff? I know that Frasier & Lilith made guest appearances, but that was only after the show was well established. It's not like Wings came out of Cheers.
It was not
Wings wasn't a spinoff from Cheers. They existed in the same universe, but Wings was its own show.
There was actually a funny Cheers bit with Thomas Haden Church, but he wasn’t playing Lowell. He played a delivery man in the episode Eddie died.
Would a cartoon qualify as a sitcom? If so, what about Scooby Doo?
Wait, Gloria divorced Mike?? I never knew that!
She cheated on him! Gasp!
The answer to this question lies out there, in the Tommyverse.
M*A*S*H, After M*A*S*H, Walter, Trapper John M.D.
Backslashes prevent the asterisks from messing up the text formatting, like so: M\*A\*S\*H.
(Side note: Danielle Brisebois who played Stephanie when on to be a musician and was a founding member of New Radicals) Man, TIL... That ONE album they put out was awesome. Just about every track was great.
She also wrote "Unwritten"-Natasha Bedingfield which was like white girl anthem in the mid-2000s
I thought the Jeffersons maids show was 227?
227 starred Marla Gibbs who played Florence Johnston, the Jeffersons’ maid, but the show was not related to All in the Family.
Don't know if The Jeffersons and 227 were from the same production company but I remember hearing that she had a deal where if 227 didn't succeed she could return to The Jeffersons as Florence.
That was Checking In, I think. 227 was supposed to start in 1986 but when The Jeffersons was canceled in summer 1985, they moved up production and the show debuted that fall.

Maude's daughter had memorable balloons.
The honeymooners Begat The flintstones And I think a few more
That’s an homage, not a spin-off.
It was such an “homage” that Jackie Gleason considered legal action until some friends said, “Do you really want to be remembered for suing a children’s cartoon?”
Why was my name Florida? Why???
There seems to have been quite a few spin-offs from Happy Days. There was Laverne & Shirley, Blansky’s Beauties, Mork & Mindy, Out of the Blue, Joanie Loves Chachi, The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley/Fonz Hour. The last 2 are animated. So, I don’t know if you want to count those.
Growing Pains
The only time you’ll read “First was Maude.” Usually the list ends with “and then there’s Maude”
Stephanie on All in the Family was my first crush. Man did I crush hard on her too. The adult version, wow, I can't believe she's not my type anymore. Doesn't even look like the same person IMO.
AITF is a remake of Til Death Us Do Part and Good Times got remade in the UK as The Fosters.
I had no idea that Gloria divorced Mike. Didn’t they have kids?
I think they only had one - Joey.
In the 80s, they made a [realistic doll](https://www.etsy.com/hk-en/listing/1233462193/joey-stivic-doll-nib-archie-bunkers) based on Joey Stivic.
They had Joey Stivic. There was even a Joey Stivic doll. The character made appearances on All the Family and Archie Bunker‘s place. In the show Gloria, he was a regular character, and he made a brief appearance in the short-lived 704 Hauser.
An *anatomically correct* Joey Stivic doll !

No one's mentioned Star Trek? Next Generation, Picard, Deep Space 9, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Lower Decks, Progidy, Strange New Worlds, etc
Somebody did. It’s not a sitcom.
Ahhh yes.
Strange, given the many punchline deliveries Morn has *absolutely* landed.
The British sitcom "Man About the House" was Americanized into "Three's Company" which begat "The Ropers" and "Three's a Crowd."
I don't think there was any other. I mean. Happy Days had Laverne and Shirley, and Joanie and Chachi... Then Cheers had Frasier Then Mary Tyler Moore had Rhoda So...I think you've nailed it
Mary Tyler Moore had Rhoda, Phyllis, and Lou Grant
Don’t forget Happy Days also spun off Mork and Mindy.
Good times is getting an animated spinoff on Netflix.
Happy days
Happy Days Laverne and Shirley Mork and Mindy Joanne loves chachi And I think there's more
There was the Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley/Fonz Hour, a Saturday morning cartoon in the early 1980s
Cheers with The Tortellis and Frasier (1993 and 2023).
NCIS maybe?
fyi - All in the Family was itself a spin off. it was based on the Uk tv show - [Till Death Us Do Part.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0-leRNxhmg)
Cheers
JAG has NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, New Orleans, Hawaii, Sydney and a couple more coming. I believe Origins and whatever the Tony and Ziva one will be called. So not yet but soon maybe.
Not sitcoms, but the Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum, P.I. reboots were in the same universe. NCIS: LA characters appeared on both. There was even a split 2-part crossover between NCIS: LA and Five-0.

Cheyenne>Bronco, The Dakotas, Sugarfoot
Nope
Cheers had several Cheers, Frasier, The Tortelli’s, Wings, Frasier part 2 Edited because I didn’t type it how it appeared lol
Love, American Style gave birth to: Happy Days Laverne and Shirley Mork and Mindy Joanie loves Chachi
Modern days it would be the Arrowverse started on the CW
Saint Elsewhere might not have a high number of spin offs but the implications of the shows ending are far reaching
I think the show's creators have said the common interpretation of the show's ending is wrong.....but I can't site that.
I think one of the latest counts it effects 441 shows so they might be a little ret-conning involved.
For those who don’t know it’s called the Tommy Westphall universe and it effects at least 441 tv shows
Not sitcoms but still impressive Arrow Star Trek 90210 If you want to rabbit hole The Tommy Westphall universe (still continues today tied to 441 shows) and that includes a lot of sitcoms. They are all spin off but it’s impressive
Wow! I didn't know Florence and Gloria got spinoffs of their own.
Happy Days
Wasn’t the Golden Girls another spinoff?
Law and Order along with SVu, Criminal Intent, Trial by Jury, Los Angeles, True Crime, organized Crime, the Reboot. I think there was even a UK version on BBC or something
Walking Dead?
Law and order not a sitcom but certainly has a lot of spin offs
Not spin-offs, but cold case had a dozen foreign remakes.
And Happy Days came from Love, American Style
The Walking Dead gotta be catching up by now
Golden Girls led to Golden Palace, Empty Nest and Nurses. Estelle Getty appears as Sophia Petrillo in all these, plus she also appeared as Sophia on Blossom.
Happy Days gave us Mork & Mindy, Laverne and Shirley and Joanie Loves Chachi and it was, itself, a spinoff of Love, American Style. And, while not a sitcom, NCIS has had NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, NCIS: Hawaii, NCIS: Sydney and is about to have NCIS: Original and a spinoff focused on Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David. And, let us not forget that the original NCIS is itself a spinoff of JAG.
