Thanks to everyone about the spinoffs, there were a couple I had forgotten
("The Honeymooners," "The Adventures of Champion") that were mentioned. I
also forgot one more: if "The Honeymooners" counts, so does "Gumby," which
happened to be a spinoff of "Howdy Doody."
And I think "The Danny Thomas Show" actually had one other spinoff--"The
Bill Dana Show"--although TAGS came first.
On the CBS 50th Anniversary show in 1978, there was a production number
called "The Spin-Off Blues," featuring Carroll O'Connor, Mary Tyler Moore and
Danny Thomas. Danny's part featured clips from TAGS, Gomer and MRFD.
