The very first, absoutely first spin off of one comedy show to another was when
The Great Gildersleeve left the Fibber McGee and Molly Show and started his own
show. But that was radio, and I know most people do not follow old time radio
the way I do. I guess you could technically say that TAGS was a spin off from
Make Room For Daddy since that is where it first appeared. I will let someone
else with more knowledge on the subject tell us the first television spinoff.
Orville Hendricks - Selling Butter and Eggs - Martha and I have a spin off and
his name is Evan. Trouble is that instead of spinning off, when he drives the
egg truck he spins out and cracks my eggs.
