Spin-off shows that no one remembers.
This morning, for some stupid reason, I recalled the show Enos, a horrible show that was a spin-off of another horrible show, The Dukes of Hazzard. But when I was in the eighth grade, I watched each show religiously and even penciled in the plots on my calendar. :eyes:

Enos was Roscoe P. Coltrane's deputy, described as the "oldest virgin in Hazzard County." I imagine this was because he didn't have any cousins.

Name an obscure spin-off you remember. :)

2. How about "The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo"?
I was a fan of B.J. and the Bear, so I watched the Sheriff Lobo spin-off. Hey, I was a kid with no taste. Good Ole Sheriff Lobo didn;t last too long on his own.

10. I remember "The Tortellis". If that had been the spinoff bellwether
for "Cheers", no one would ever decided to give Frasier his own show.

6. Carlton, Your Doorman
I think that was a RHODA spinoff in the 70's - an animated one. Disappeared very quickly.

18. Consider this: "All in the Family>Maude>Jeffersons."
I think there was this situation with "Mary Tyyler Moore" too, but I can't recall the third show (I think the second was "Rhoda.")

12. "Phyllis"
Everyone remembers the "Rhoda" spinoff from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"...but who remembers the "Phyllis" spinoff? Lasted just a couple of seasons, if that. :-)
