TV Spinoffs

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

If we're going that route, TNG was great too
What kind of geek code are you guys talking?
Star Trek serieses. Before Patrick Stewart had too much creative control and ruined his character in Picard
I haven't watched any of the new ST series since ST:Enterprise went off the air. And the new series of shows are on Discovery+, a paid service, and basically I have neither the time nor the money to waste on that. ST:Enterprise had a really good premise, which the writers quickly enough ruined, so I've been put off watching the other spin-offs since. But I prefer the Star Trek world over the Star Wars any time.
If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

Hmm, initially I disputed this in that it was in the same "universe" as Pettycoat Junction and The Beverly HIllbillies, but not really a spinoff of them aka it was actually a "sister show."

But then I looked further and found it was based on an old radio program called "Granby's Green Acres", and further, that radio program originated on another radio program starring Lucille Ball called "My Favorite Husband."

Isn't it "cute" that the youngster doesn't know this crap?

P.S. I bet he doesn't even know what TOS means!

i'm not so sure i would put "universe" in quotes. Sam Drucker's store was a big part of Green Acres and that's the same store that is a big part of Petticoat Junction. And both shows are around the same town of Hooterville.

And apparently The Beverly Hillbillies were also in that TV world.

yep. I can't remember the connection. I think Jed was kin to Kate Bradley. Which is weird, because the lady that played Kate Bradley, also played Jethro Bodine's mom on the Beverly Hillbillies. I think all of those shows were written by Schwartz (sp?).

Yeah, you youngn's wouldn't believe the quality Television they used to put out. Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Lost in Space, Flying Nun, That Girl, Gilligan's Island. Holy shit, what a load of crap. Never mind.

I've always thought Voyager was probably the best ST. The whole premise of being shot into the Delta Quadrant 100,000 lights years away (or something) and looking at 30 years Min to get home.
