I also forget to add another type "spin-off." That would be the one where a
character of an established series becomes popular, i.e. TAGS to 'Gomer Pyle
USMC' or 'Mary Tyler Moore' to 'Rhoda.' So, in conclusion, we have three types
of spin-offs: 1) Short-term characters for sake of a spin-off 2) Characters on
original series who become popular and 3) the "run the course" spin-off where a
series is ending but is transforming into another, perhaps with characters from
the "mother" series.
