40 TV Spin-Offs That (Some Claim!) Were Better Than the Originals

Despite having all the casual incest of the original, House of the Dragon is immediately better than Game of Thrones due to the lack of Starbucks coffee cups onscreen 🙃.

I think we can all agree that when it comes to Apprentice hosts, Martha Stewart far exceeds her, uh, predecessor.

The Mandalorian has one thing every previous Star Wars spin-off is missing: Pedro Pascal.

We will not be tolerating Zoey 101 blasphemy in this house, now or ever!

Anyone else immediately have “Aw, Here It Goes” by Coolio stuck in their heads?

Frasier is better than Cheers, fight me.

I believe it was Plato who once said, “They’re Pinky and The Brain, Yes Pinky and The Brain / One is a genius, the other’s insane.”

Nothing but respect for Beavis and his illustrious friend Butt-Head, but Daria was the best thing to come out of that show.

I mean, it was one of the longest-running sitcoms in history for a reason!!

Mentally, I live at 4616 Melrose Place.

Okay, this is truly a situation in which the spin-off is just as good as the original. Stop yelling at me!

Picking a favorite CSI is like picking a favorite child: easy, which is why CSI: NY is the clear choice.

I’m willing to accept that this is an extremely unpopular opinion that may or may not be based on Ben-Barnes-related thirst.

It starred Drake, thereby blowing all other Degrassi iterations out of the water, next.

I mean, just based on theme song alone (“DuckTales ooOooh ooh” vs “Darkwing Duck! Let’s get dangerous!”).

The fact that you have no idea what “Good Morning Miss Bliss” is should tell you everything you need to know.

Mostly because it has even more Christine Baranski.

Just as cozy, with less references to “soggy bottoms.”
