We’ve talked about this a lot here at TV Squad: what are the worst spin-offs of all-time? Joanie Loves Chachi always makes such a list as does AfterMASH. So it’s no surprise that both shows made Time’s list of the 10 worst spin-offs of all-time. In fact, AfterMASH is in the number one slot.
Other shows on the list are good examples of bad spin-offs too, including The Ropers, the Three’s Company spin-off that was rather unnecessary; Joey, the Friends spin-off that just couldn’t recapture the magic of the parent series; and Baywatch Nights, which always amazed me with the fact that Mitch Buchannon never mentioned to the other lifeguards at his day job on the beach that he was fighting monsters and evil spirits in his night job.
I’m impressed that they not only picked the Spenser: For Hire spin-off A Man Called Hawk but put it so high on the list, at number three. That really was a disappointing show. Some characters are just more effective in supporting roles.
