Not going to do #13 since I started this one, but I wanted to say I'm amused by how different people interpreted my topic. I realize now that I didn't word it clearly to get the result I was looking for, but that's nobody's fault but mine!

What I was looking for was not spinoffs, but shows where another network (or even the same network in some cases!) looked at a popular show and said, "Let's do our take on that!" For example, network looks at "Diff'rent Strokes," says, "Hey! They're getting big ratings with short wiseacre black kid--let's get our own short wiseacre black kid and we'll get big ratings too!"

that was my initial interpretation - but spinoffs would not be produced if their parent shows were flops; so a spinoff, successful or not is a direct result of the parent show's popularity.

That was my interpretation. That's why I posted Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm. I figured the latter was just due to somebody deciding to give Larry David a sitcom of his own after the success of the former.
