Gotta be Happy Days or something, right? That show had so many spin-offs, including Laverne and Shirley, which itself got spun off into an animated show. But I don’t know if there’s ever been a spin-off that got a spin-off and then that second spin-off also got a spin-off
All in the Family lead to Maude, which lead to Good Times. All in the Family lead to The Jeffersons, which lead to Checking In. All in the Family also lead to Archie Bunker's Place, Gloria, and 704 Hauser.
It's going to be the next Cinematic Universe, I tell you!
I like the actors, but I don’t expect this will do as well. A big part of why Young Sheldon is so good is Annie Potts. Getting another gem like her will be difficult, if they are even considering it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
CBS is looking to expand the Big Bang Theory universe once more — this time with a Young Sheldon spinoff centered on new parents Georgie and Mandy, TVLine has confirmed.
The prospective offshoot, which is nearing a direct-to-series order at CBS, would star Montana Jordan as Sheldon’s older brother and Emily Osment as his bride-to-be, and pick up where Young Sheldon leaves off following the conclusion of its seventh and final season (premiering Thursday, Feb. 15).
But unlike Young Sheldon, which pivoted to a single-camera format, the Georgie and Mandy spinoff is being prepped as a multi-camera sitcom, shot in front of a live studio audience — just like Big Bang.
Deals are still being hashed out with Jordan and Osment, but CBS and Warner Bros. are looking to secure a 13-episode freshman run for the 2024-25 TV season — meaning the spinoff would premiere within months of Young Sheldon‘s May 16 series finale.
Assuming Young Sheldon‘s narrative keeps at a steady pace, Sheldon will turn 14 in Season 7 — the age at which, per Big Bang’s previously established timeline, the future Nobel Prize winner moves from Medford, Texas, to Pasadena, Calif., to begin his graduate studies at the California Institute of Technology.
As Holland previously warned TVLine, “just because [something happened on Big Bang] doesn’t mean it’s a story [our narrator] has to tell.”
