You know, I think there probably should be more spinoffs. What is the last good spinoff you can think of. And I’m going to declare right now that CSI: Miami doesn’t count. It has to be a character from one show “gettting her own show.”

Like the planned ABC spinoff of ”Grey’s Anatomy” starring Kate Walsh’s Dr. Addison Montgomery-Sheppard. Wait a minute, was I just advocating on behalf of that? I was the very first “Grey’s” fan, but about the 10th time I heard the name “McDreamy” I realized that I had created a monster.

Anyways, word today is that Chris Lowell, Piz on “Veronica Mars,” has been cast on that spinoff. So I guess we know what LoVe / Piz = … (You had to be there.)

    “Fraiser?” Is that REALLY the last good spinoff? No. I guess “Angel” would be more recent on second thought. Though there’s always the ill-fated, never-made-it-past-pilot-only-available-on-iTunes “Aquaman,” spun from “Smallville.”

    But for my money, spinoffs begin and end with- “Saved by the Bell: The College Years.”

    i guess begrudgingly Frasier is probably the last good spinoff.
