Top 10 Worst TV Spin-Offs
Private Practice, the ABC spin-off of the hit hospital drama Grey's Anatomy, is back for a second season. Not all spin-offs are so fortunate, however: TIME looks back at the most absurd, ill-planned and disastrous TV-show spawn of the past few decades.
The bad spin-off by which all subsequent bad spin-offs are measured. In this Happy Days stepchild, Chachi (Scott Baio), the Fonz's younger cousin, moves to Chicago with Joanie (Erin Moran), Richie Cunningham's younger sister, to start a band. They sang a lot, Joanie and Chachi. Not always very well, as is clear in this clip. There were stereotypically named characters Mario, Rico, Bingo and stereotypically cheesy songs. The main characters soon returned to Happy Days. After the show was canceled, that is.
