My brother in law christened his kids Mork & Mindy. The kids had them changed by deed poll

Hi Carr 1 I tried to change my name to Milly Molly Mandy but mummy wouldn't let me ! (I had read the Omnibus !)

[askyourgran]

I'd go with Frasier spin off from Cheers. Although Dallas, Dynasty and Falcon Crest are similar spin offs

[bibblebub]

OR... does The Simpsons count as a sitcom? That started in The Tracey Ullman Show.

[Krausse]

The Simpsons was my first thought but I am now waiting for my boy to come back with his answer !

Not sure Dallas, Dynasty and Falcon Crest were classed as sit-coms askyourgran.

I'd go for Frasier.

Frasier from Cheers.

Petticoat Junction from the Beverley Hillbillies was good and then Green Acres came from Petticoat Junction I think,

[askyourgran]

Very true MASS not much to laugh about there. Was Rhoda spin-ff from something?

[dotty.]

yes the mary tyler moore show

[dotty.]

i loved rhoda, and her husband lol

[cupid04]

why do a lot of people find American sit-coms funnier than our own uk brand?

[dotty.]

actually trapper john was from m.a.s.h., though it didn;t do that well, only a couple of seasons. Pernell Roberts did one of the seasons i think.

[dotty.]

they just are, i can watch Big Bang Theory all day long, and in fact last weekend i did cos i bought season 5 box set ,

[bibblebub]

I'd always thought that there were only 3 spin-offs from Happy Days but, because of this question, I now know that there were 4.
