Where To Watch
Are these spin-offs real, or did we make them up?
Some of these spin-offs and facts are real; others we just pulled from our imagination.
In television, any work derived from an existing show is known as a "spin-off." Sometimes, a series or an aspect of it resonates so powerfully with audiences that there is a demand for more stories. Sometimes, that comes in the form of a sequel series, picking up where the last show left off. Other times, a single character might be spun off into their own program, where the narrative focuses on them rather than the main characters from the show on which they debuted.
But you already know all that stuff because you're a fan of classic TV. And any fan knows that producers won't be satisfied when something is successful on TV until every last drop can be milked from it.
So can you tell the difference between these real spin-offs and the phony ones? In the crazy world of TV, all of them are believable, but only some of them are real. Be sure to share your thoughts, feelings, and score in the comment section below, and good luck! You might do so well that some executive wants you in your own series, kid!

Ayyyy! You're like the Fonz except cooler. You're like Chachi, but you'd last longer than two seasons in your own spin-off!
Chachi!!! Yeech, he was a punk, he wouldn't last two minutes in Jersey, nuns on the way to
Burger King would shake him down for lunch money.
And Kookie from 77 Sunset Strip was 1,000 times cooler than Fonzie. In real life Henry
Winkler is a nerd who was a good enough actor to portray the Fonze, while Edd Brynes
as Kookie was the real deal. Going by magazine covers and fan mail, for awhile Kookie
was the biggest star in Hollywood, plus he had a hit record with beautiful Connie Stevens.

There will be extra bonus movies for just coming by. Including entertainment for all. Feel free to ask questions, copy movie links and just plain join in the fun via communication. The MQ will be up until the movie is guessed and an hour to look over and pick out what you wish. Have fun doing so. There are no wrong answers but the first one to guess the correct movie gets their names put up for getting it correctly. Good luck and enjoy.
