90%... Half of those CBS shows I didn't watch...Lou Grant, Rhoda. I was an ABC kid growing up.
lol. I was an NBC kid. That’s All we got
@jodyh05 What did NBC have? I grew up as a kid in the 70's and I honestly can't remember anything on NBC back in the days. You may be older than me or younger than me I don't know but I was an ABC addict because of very popular shows like Room 222, The Mod Squad, Love American Style, Happy Days & Laverne & Shirley etc. I'm curious as to what shows NBC had on their line-up..by the way I was born in 1966 Thanks!
Me, too. I especially liked "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island" on Saturday nights.
BTW: 60%.

NBC at that time had mostly shows from Universal Television, most notably "Columbo." I guess thay also explains - because of their working relationship - why those two companies are one now.

Maude is a good 70s show. Bea Arthur played as Maude herself and Rue McClanahan played as Vivian. And then before Rue and Betty White were in Mama's Family and now there all together played as The Golden Girls with all three actress including Estelle Getty portrayed as Sophia Petrello. These are best TV decades shows and never gets any old to watch.

Another bad spinoff if you could call it that, was Mrs. Columbo.
I'm probably the only one on hear saying this but I was never a fan of "LaVerne" or "Mork & Mindy". I barely got thru with one episode of "LaVerne" while I never watched "Mork". I apologize to all you fans out there.
Never liked L & S. Sort of liked Mork at first (Pam Dawber) , but stopped watching it.

60%. Frasier was the pick of the litter. Way better than the series it came from.
90% similar. LOVED Frasier, so funny to watch two grown, professional men behaving so snobbishly with their dad being a regular Joe, or Marty as was the case lol. Great tv!
90% similar, my highest score yet!
So when will Lou Grant be shown on MeTV? Hmmm? Maybe there should be a MeTV channel focused on TV dramas

Because Disney/ABC (by virtue of their 2018 purchase of 20th Century Fox) now owns "Lou Grant," it might take a little while longer.
Animal the photographer!

50% similar. They forgot Mama's Family, which is my favorite spinoff. It is much better than The Carol Burnett Show.
Speaking of spinoffs, WALTER, a spinoff from MASH, is absolutely the worst spinoff that I've ever seen in my life. Come to think of it, it is the worst TV show that I've ever seen in my life. What were they thinking?

I didn't like when they took a character from a sitcom and gave them a dramatic show, like Lou Grant. Changes the whole dynamic of the character.

Should have had a visit from Ted Baxter. 'Louuuuuuuu.....'
