Good quiz but it would have been better to know the original shows for the ones that were spin-offs.

12/24. I didn’t recognise a lot of these American shows! Largely guesses!

Corey Taylor

Can't believe they didn't include NCIS, arguably the most popular spin-off(of JAG) in TV history!

16/24 Never heard of several ot these shows. don't watch a lot of the ones I have. Although 3s company isn't a spin off it is a copy of Man About the House so can;t really be called original
