Was there not some terrible 'Bionic Dog' spin-off from The Bionic Woman, itself a spin-off from The Six Million Dollar Man? (Seems to me that 1970s US television execs were unnaturally obsessed with creating spin-off series - regardless of the quality.)

Does "Ewoks" the animated show count as a spin off of "An Ewok Adventure: Caravan of Courage" and "Ewoks: The Battle For Endor" which were, of course, both Star Wars spin offs?Last edited by tracteurgarcon; 09-10-2019, 10:19.

"The original intent was to create a spin-off series featuring The Bionic Dog and at the end of the two-part episode that introduced him, it was implied Max (the dog) would stay with Jaime's forest ranger friend Roger Grette in the Sierra Mountains and Jaime would visit occasionally. However, the network rejected the proposed spin-off series and Max stayed with Jaime instead, making several appearances throughout the third season of The Bionic Woman."

Going back to spin-offs, the second Hairspray movie was a spin-off of the stage musical, which was in turn a spin-off from... the first Hairspray movie. Not sure if that qualifies as a spin-off of a spin-off, or a snake eating its own tail.

A few other examples of film musicals turned into stage musicals - The Lion King, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Seven Wives For Seven Brothers, Mary Poppins, The Wizard Of Oz. Does School of Rock count?Last edited by Lucy Waterman; 12-10-2019, 00:02.
