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

erik hughes, In this sense, "spinoff" means from another tv show. They were based on the movies, but original to tv.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Alice" were NOT "original shows"; they were spin-offs of popular movies.
