Do spin offs work?

[MrDawn]

Do you think spin offs from the original series of a tv show work or are most of them just garbage?

Some can totally work.

Examples - Xena, Melrose Place, Angel, Family Matters, Fraiser[sp?]...

I don't watch a whole lot of TV or spin offs, but CSI Miami and New York certainly worked and were great shows.

I enjoyed Young sheldon. I think that's the only one really

I think they can work if done with the right intentions, the right people, and the right direction.

Some of them do. Like the power spin offs. Power book ghost and power book force have both been just as good as the original power.

While some spin offs are alright, most of the time, they're not

Usually no. But sometimes they can work out just fine.

Examples:

Star Trek: The Next Generation
Laverne & Shirley
Mork & Mindy
Better Call Saul
Frasier
House of the Dragon
The Jefferson's

The Jefferson's

Autocorrect? lol

I like some spin-offs. NCIS spin-offs tend to be enjoyable, for example. CSI has had some good ones too.

Depends on whether or not the spinoff can keep a good story. If its being done for the sake of being done, no.
