Where To Watch
Can you place these forgotten TV spin-offs into the correct era?
Remember these spin-offs of Bonanza, M*A*S*H and more?
Sometimes, the apple does fall far from the tree. Perhaps the tree sits atop a high hill, above the competition, and its fruit just rolls to the bottom.
The greatest television shows all spawn spin-offs. After all, networks always want more of a good thing. Which is why Hollywood green-lit the following spin-offs of Gunsmoke, M*A*S*H, Columbo, The Brady Bunch, The Andy Griffith Show… and so on.
Unfortunately, they all flopped. In fact, you might not even know they exist. But the following shows all aired, at least as a pilot. We bet you can place them in the correct decade. Give it a try.
