List Of Television Spin-offs




Many, if not all spinoffs, are produced by some of the original producers of the root show.


CRITERIA FOR A TELEVISION SPIN-OFF

__NOTOC__

Before a television show can be considered a spin-off, it has to match the following criteria:

  • It cannot be a remake of a pre-existing show (e.g. The Battlestar Galactica series of 2003 is not spun off from the one made in 1978). The exception can be made to series such as '' The Transformers '' where the lines of continuity are blurred at best.


  • The crossover cannot have taken place after the show was created (e.g. '' Friends '' is not a spin-off from '' Mad About You '' as the characters met after both shows were created).


  • Spin-offs are only for shows that existed. If a pilot was written but never shot, it is not considered a spin-off.


  • When a show undergoes a name change, its successor is considered a spin-off from the original program (e.g. '' Three's A Crowd '' is considered a spin-off from '' Three's Company '')
