I came across this while internet surfing. I was thrilled when I saw this. LOST became one of my favorite series a couple years ago. I tried watching the show when it first began but quite because it started to get hard to follow. But then I tried agian and got really into the series. I'm glad I did too. It was an awesome series. So when I found out they were doing a spin off series I was extremely happy and excited.
However with that being said I'm still finding mixed emotions with the potential spin off series. You have spin off's that work and those that don't. I don't want this to be one of those series that had a great ending then does a spin off or they try to bring the show back and it flops. Which happened to a couple of my favorite series. And I really wanted them to work. They were Friends and Scrubs. The shows were called Joey and Scrubs: The Interns. Both I felt were decent show. Maybe not at the level of the original but they were good shows. Then there was one show that I haven't gotten around to watching yet. It was Frasier which was a spin off of Cheers. This was hugely successful. So this is why I'm mixed on it.
I have a classic case of a spin off series suceeding with flying colors and another classic case of two series that flopped. I just don't know how I feel about spin off's yet. They can be good.
So with my explaination and all this being said here are the questions I want to ask.
What do you personally think about spin-off series?
If you like them what show's do want to see have a spin off series on?
If you don't like them explain why not? Then provide examples if possibly of why not? Doesn't have to be specific examples but just an explanation why not?
My series I want to see is LOST.Kind of a no brianer. I opened with this. Although I don't know how they would do it. In the original Series finale everybody was at the Church do to the fact they died. If they center the show around Sun and Jin like they say they are going to then that wouldn't make sense. Sun and Jin were at the Church to. Although Jack's father in the finale did say that some people died before Jack and some people died long after Jack. So I guess what would happen then is the show would be taking place in between Jack's death and before Sun and Jin passed away. I'm not sure.
Another is My Name Is Earl:I don't know why they replaced this with a different show. It was replaced with Parks and Reacreation(which isn't that good; In My Opinion). It should be either brought back and revived somehow so they can continue for another couple seasons and get a proper send off or get a spin off series. If they do the spin off they should have Earl already done with his list but now helping people fix their problems and help the solve past problems.
Scrubs:I know people will disagree with this but I don't think they gave this show a fair chance. Their ratings might not have been the best but they improved. After Zach officially left the show for real this time the ratings went down for a week. And the ratings started rising again. They were starting to get better ratings and develop the new cast when they cancelled. Should have given them another season at least to see how they do.
Boy Meets World:I know this is corny but this was one of my favorite shows growing up. After the series finale we never really found out what happened to everybody. Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Eric went to New York, Angela went to Europe with her Dad, and the Mathew's family stayed where they were at. They could have done a spin off that lasted a few years. It could have included Cory, Shawn, and Topanga finishing College and graduating. They settle down in New York with new apartments maybe sort of like Friends and get apartments/rooms in the same building. Angela finishing school in Europe and coming back. Topanga and Shawn have a baby. Shawn and Angela have a baby. Eric stays single and becomes a model.
And so on.
I'll come back with more if I think of anything else. But have fun and enjoy.
