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.

Half of these never heard of in ireland

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

lordnaylor, If you've never seen them how do you know they're rubbish? "Touched By an Angel" was very good in my opinion and some of the sitcoms were good- "The Jeffersons" especially and also "The Simpsons".
