Opie
Then going by that logic, "Matlock" is a spinoff from "The Andy Griffith Show".
-
Here's my list:
Angel
Darkwing Duck
Beast Wars

Helena is a riot but I like Cosima best.
Orphan Black plays on BBC America.
Conspiracy!

Has anyone floated the idea of Las Vegas for the NFL? UNLV is building a stadium that would make Jerruh Jones green with envy.
Every major sports league has entertained that idea, and the results always end up the same: It'll never happen.

With news leaking about a "potential" Breaking Bad spinoff (i.e., was Walter White really dead?), and one already in the works ("Better Call Saul"), I started thinking about the topic in general.
There have been some horrible spinoffs for sure (AfterMASH), but what have been the best ones?
I'll start the discussion with a damned good one: Frasier
I have to stick up for "AfterMASH". It was a decent-to-good show. It's biggest problem was that it followed up one of the greatest television shows ever.
It did have it's weak points, but it could have been a good spinoff. Too bad CBS didn't give it more of a chance.

airbrushed and photoshopped like crazy.
Well ESPN isn't stupid, they all have to look perfect.

Add Gomer Pyle from Andy Griffith.
I aso consider Happy Days a spin off from Andy Griffith.
How so?
-
Could it possibly be because it is a Canadian show? I've never seen it, but it has very solid reviews and you guys seem to rave about it, maybe that has something to do with it.
Downton Abbey is a UK show so I'd think country of origin is irrelevant(unless Orphan Black isn't shown in the US.....is it?)
In the long run it probably would not matter. The Emmys have a reputation for nominating the same shows year after year.

...the members of Two Bills Drive came together on this matter of this somewhat unknown poster.....

Seems a bit premature myself. He hasn't done anything but get drafted.
It's his home town, and he did quite a bit in college.

You're not quite right on this one, Mark. The city of San Jose has been pushing the league very hard to get the A's to move to a new Stadium in SJ. Unfortunately, the Giants somehow claim that they have territorial rights to San Jose (even though the A's current home is 10 miles closer to San Jose) that they refuse to give up. The city of San Jose has even gone as far as filing a lawsuit against the Giants and Major League Baseball to enable the Athletics to make the move.
As long as the A's continue to play the way they are playing, the pressure from MLB on the Giants to relinquish their ridiculous claim will continue to mount. It is hugely embarassing for a sports league on the level of Major League Baseball to have one of (if not THE) best team in their ranks playing in the worst stadium currently used for professional baseball. When an ALCS or World Series game is postponed or delayed by a sewage problem, power outage, or whatever else can and will go wrong at that stadium, MLB will be wearing some serious egg on their face for not enabling the team to acquire a brand new stadium in a city that is desperate to have them.
I am as big an an A's fan as I am a Bills fan, and have been my entire life, so I am somewhat in tune to the developments around this situation.
I made that comment in jest, devldog.
This drama with the A's seems never ending, and I do think the Giants proposed lawsuit is ridiculous. I guarantee you that Giants fans living in the South Bay will remain Giants fans, even if the A's move to San Jose, or Fremont, or whatever South Bay sight they have their eyes on.
The Oakland Coliseum is old and outdated. Something has to be done about it.

And that is why it would have made sense to send Stevie Johnson to Carolina and got a better pick than what we got from the 49ers.
Interesting theory. Alas, we'll never know.
-
I just don't see a problem there...
Neither do I.
-
A few teams I hadn't thought of in there...Chargers might be intriguing... pair him up with Keenan Allen, and a seemingly revived Rivers, they might be a pretty decent team. And who wouldn't want to play in San Diegeo? Falcons might be a good fit too.
That would be very interesting. A veteran all-pro WR like Johnson would be a good fit for the Chargers. I'm sure Phillip Rivers would love to throw to him.
He's the kind of player that would give the Chargers that extra weapon they could use against the Broncos.
-
why not put Lawson back there and give him more time on the field now w/o having to split w/ Hughes @ DE? I thought he had a good year, big runs we gave up didnt seem to be to his side. And then work the rookies Brown and Johnson in rotation
Sounds good to me. LB is Lawson's natural position, why not have him play there?
-
Really?
I'm at the very bottom, Ms. Ziyi. You can start here.
Oh yes. She is hated by the public in China.
Zhang Ziyi is very beautiful, and she's used that for her own gain. She doesn't deny it. I think this mostly came out after she had been cast in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Not sure how you can remake a classic like "10 commandments." Good luck finding a better Ramses than yul brynner.
"The Prince of Egypt" was a great re-make. Yes it was animated, but it was outstanding.
I don't think anyone will ever top Yul Brynner.

The top comment on the article is classic:
"Why is Dennis Rodman sending nude pics to his dad?" That's great.
Ouch!
-
They may not get that status there. And who is to say they don't chip in for a stadium? Their value will double if they go south and they will be able to get far more revenue than in Oakland
That's possible. The Raiders would probably be more popular than the Rams.

Can't to see him in a Bills uniform on gameday.

Why is Jim catching flack? Seriously, look at all of these movies rewriting history.
We've completely changed the lives of people like Howard Hughes, Ray Charles, William Wallace, and Jesus. Now we will see Jimi Hendrix and James Brown rewritten as some cheesy spoof of reality glamorizing the good and the bad and negating the actual middle ground and parts in between which were far more relevant.
That's called making things "Entertaining".

Not sure if it's a sleeper. I feel like it is because it seems like nobody really talks about it but Any Given Sunday is just an awesome movie. I'm sure I'll be blasted for this by many or at least some but I think it's a realistic take on pro football.
And the inches speach by Pacino has got to be the most motivational 4 minutes ever in film.
I am no fan of Oliver Stone, and I'm really not much of a fan of sports movies, but "Any Given Sunday" is an exception.
I don't think it's a great movie, but it is pretty good.

I don't know, I thought she was funny at first, but she got old to me. She is definitely the worst part of that show (which would actually be good if it had neither Mike nor Molly in it!).
I remember when McCarthy was in "Gilmore Girls". The humor in that show was more subtle than "Mike & Molly". Despite that, she still wasn't all that funny.
I think she's tremendously overrated, if I haven't already obviously hinted at that.

Oh, I'm sure he'll love to hear that.
