You know how like The Big Bang Theory was spunoff into Young Sheldon, which has now been spunoff into Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage (3 points!)? Which show has the most? For example, I’m pretty sure that All in the Family inspired at least two spinoffs (The Jeffersons and Good Times(?), one of which inspired at least one other spinoff) … is that the winner?
Obviously the Law & Order franchise and/or the CSI franchise is going to win, but what about other shows, sitcoms in particular?
If you’re talking sitcoms only: It might be All in the Family (with the four already mentioned). The Cosby Show had at least two; The Andy Griffith Show had two also, I think.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show had Rhoda and Phyllis, and then a non-sitcom drama, Lou Grant.
But if you’re not limiting it to sitcoms, I’d think the original Star Trek would be the winner.
All in the Family had Archie Bunker’s Place, Gloria, The Jeffersons, Maude, and 704 Hauser spun off directly from the originating series. Maude, in turn, spun off Good Times and The Jeffersons spun off Checking In. So that’s eight.
If you’re including the Toronto show (basically a Canadian version), you should also include Law & Order: UK and Wikipedia also mentions a French adaptation. Though I think we should exclude foreign adaptations.

I don’t think movies should be counted. But you missed several Star Trek series. The question will be if streaming series count, and I suspect they will.
Mork and Mindy wasn’t really a spin off, it was just using Happy Days as a launch pad for a completely unrelated show. But if you go with that, all those series could be a spin-off from Love American Style.
