Sometimes, a spinoff series ends up becoming more popular than the original that spun it off. See also Adaptation Displacement, where the vast majority of fans are unaware that it started in another medium, and Sequel Displacement. Also see Breakup Breakout, "Weird Al" Effect and Even Better Sequel. Contrast with Quietly Performing Sister Show.

Happy Days (Love, American Style) And then Laverne & Shirley blew past Happy Days in the ratings, almost from episode 1. In the long run, however, Happy Days has made a far greater cultural impact. And then Mork & Mindy was spun off from both of those shows. Probably due largely to Robin Williams' performance, Mork & Mindy became the only one of the shows mentioned here to earn an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series (in 1979). |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has received more acclaim and ratings than the original Law & Order, and is on the verge of catching up to the original's 20 seasons. Somewhat ironic in that the show is really a Dolled-Up Installment. Technically the show is also a spin-off of Homicide: Life on the Street because of character John Munch. SVU has a dozen seasons more this predecessor and has survived the retirement of his character. |

GoldenEye was a successful movie in the James Bond series. GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 is one of the most beloved games of all time, a triumphant aversion of The Problem with Licensed Games, and one of the games which basically made the First-Person Shooter genre into something other than Doom clones. Not to mention proving that the genre could have first-rate console titles, not just inferior ports of PC games. Many players didn't even know the game was based on a film. | |

While Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was a big hit, the animated spin-off Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood has become even more popular than the show it was based off of in the past decade, possibly thanks to the parents of the American kids who watch the show growing up with it, that the show is highly praised by many people for its' lessons and the fact that it is the first official release of something related to Mister Rogers outside of North America. The popularity of Daniel Tiger lead to renewed interest in the original series, causing PBS to return reruns to their schedule and greenlight another spin-off involving Mister Rogers characters in 2020, this time involving puppets. | |

Noddy's Toyland Adventures can be considered this. While the other attempts to bring Noddy to TV in the United Kingdom were only mildly successful at best, this adaptation made Noddy a household name in the United Kingdom and was one of the most popular British children's shows of the 90's. Overseas, Make Way For Noddy is considered this to all of the older Noddy series (including the Importation Expansion The Noddy Shop), especially in Portugal, where it was massively popular, and the United States, where it was a staple program of PBS Kids Sprout. |

Girls Next Door is a Recursive Fanfiction Spin-Off of Roommates and according to webstatistics at least twice as popularnote A regular Roommates page gets around 100-150 individual comments, 6-7000 views, 350-400 favorites in about two weeks and its author has roughly 8200 watchers, in the case of GND this is 350-400, 15-20000, 900-1000 and 20000 respectively. Probably has to do with the professional art and the less Mind Screwy story lines. | |

The Starsiege / Earthsiege series of Humongous Mecha Simulation Games, has been all but displaced by the Tribes series, multiplayer FPSs with an emphasis on extremely fast-paced team objective play, jetpacks, and no HERCs in sight. After the release — and enormous popularity — of the first Tribes game, Starsiege: Tribes, the Starsiege name was dropped entirely (instead simply becoming "Tribes ______"). Then again, the series has never had a particularly consistent naming scheme to begin with. Ironically, the original Starsiege series is more familiar to fans of the MechWarrior franchise, due them being Dueling Games up til 2001, when Starsiege's creators went bust | |

Count Duckula is more popular and better known internationally than its parent show Danger Mouse and has a more prominent influence in pop culture, in fact a lot of people probably don't know that is even as spin-off of an obscure 80s cartoon if they don't read The Other Wiki. It helps that the character has nearly nothing to do with its Danger Mouse counterpart other than name and somewhat similar look and that it never had the Required Spinoff Crossover. | |

In 2006, a light novel called Slash Dog was published but went very much unnoticed. Several years later, another light novel that took place in the same universe as Slash Dog was written and was recognized for its relatable characters and... ecchi atmosphere. That light novel in question? High School DXD. The notoriety of DXD became so great that Slash Dog was eventually retooled into a Prequel series exploring the backstory of The Rival Vali Lucifer as he journeyed with the series' original group, who would then become Canon Immigrants in DXD. | |

While the X-Men are still one of the most popular comic book franchises of all time, Deadpool has become a massively popular character in his own right, to the point that his comics have become a franchise in and of themselves, independent of the one they spun off from while still sharing the same universe.

Great Teacher Onizuka was the spin-off of Shonan Jun'ai Gumi, a tale about two rambunctious delinquents. You'd be forgiven if you thought this series was a prequel instead of the first installment, since most countries that export it give it the title GTO: The Early Years. | |

One that would inspire not only one but multitudes of spinoffs overshadowing it: Springfield, a rural village located in Essex County, England. How did it became important? A native of the village who became one of the leaders of the Massachusetts colony renamed a colonist town after his home village, which grew high and popular enough to inspire more aspiring cities around the U.S., including the ones in Missouri, Illinois, and that one. | |

Bloons Tower Defense is actually a spinoff of the game Bloons, a Flash puzzle game where a single monkey has to pop a set amounts of balloons by carefully aiming and throwing a set number of darts. Bloons TD became so much more popular that there is now premium content in it, while the original Bloons is mostly forgotten, despite being quite popular back in the days. | |

Dark Souls is an essentially a sequel to Demon's Souls that only became a separate IP out of necessity due to the developers wanting to bring the game to multiple platforms, when the original IP was owned by Sony. Demon's Souls itself was a spiritual successor to King's Field, an earlier series of first-person RPGs released for the original PlayStation. |

Godzilla: The Series is almost universally more well liked by Godzilla fans than the American film on which the series is based due to being much more faithful to the source material. | |

In the Looney Tunes franchise, the Porky Pig series gave us Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny (his appearance in the Porky Pig short was actually an early prototype called Happy Rabbit), both of which quickly eclipsed it in popularity. Not to mention, the Porky Pig series itself is much more popular than the Beans the Cat series, which is virtually unknown to those who aren't a diehard Looney Tunes fan by comparison. |

Lyrical Nanoha started out as a brief joke music video in an extra fandisc for Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever. Then someone decided to turn this fantasy short into a serious Magical Girl series with Nanoha as the main heroine. Over a decade later, Toraha is dead in all but name, with three visual novels and two OVAs to prove it ever existed, the last of which was released back in 2003. The Nanoha franchise, meanwhile, has become a multimedia juggernaut still going strong to this day, with five televised series, four big screen movies, a dozen published mangas (ranging in length from one-shots to the Doorstopper that is ViVid), and three games (if you count the INNOCENT web game). | |

In 1981 Hasbro released a line called My Pretty Pony, based around a 10" tall hard plastic pony doll with grooming tools, accessories and so on. In 1983 they spun off a new line of smaller, simpler, brightly colored, baggable or pocketable pony dolls called My Little Pony... which needs no further introduction (apart from noting that the franchise that it launched has, for the most part, been running ever since). My Pretty Pony was nothing like as successful, and basically died when the original 1981 production run was exhausted. The design of the second My Pretty Pony was later reused for the My Little Pony character Peachy. | |

The Polyphonic Spree was formed by a few members of cult post-grunge band Tripping Daisy after the death of guitarist Wes Berggren and are much more well known than their parent band. One of the few members of Tripping Daisy that didn't join the Polyphonic Spree was Ben Curtis, who later formed the Secret Machines with his brother (and later left to form indie band School of Seven Bells). | |

Atop the Fourth Wall is quite the respectable show and still continues to this day as Lewis Lovhaug's primary show. However, several of his observers think that his side show History of Power Rangers might actually be in higher demand overall since its "next episode" was always in crazy demand once the series got going. Despite this, Lewis (in part due to official rules from Saban and in part due to his own desires) has always made his comic book show priority over HOPR due to wanting to use official DVD's for his clips and because they're MUCH more time consuming compared to his once a week comic reviews. | |

Whereas JAG was canceled after 10 seasons, NCIS is still a ratings juggernaut going into 17 seasons (and counting) and has become so successful that it has become its own franchise (NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans). At this point, most viewers probably don't even remember that NCIS was a spin-off itself. When by-then-retired Admiral Chegwidden makes a cameo in the 10th season finale of NCIS, it's basically an Easter Egg to JAG fans because the average NCIS viewer had no idea he used to be a main character. | |

Six years later, the show was revived for CBS, the devils on the game board changed to Whammys and the show renamed Press Your Luck.

When Danish death metal band Dominus' vocalist Michael Poulsen tired of his original genre, ultimately leading to the band's breakup, he and Dominus bassist Anders Kjoholm formed a new band called Volbeat, which was named after Dominus' 1997 album Vol.Beat. That band released six albums since forming in 2001, and has developed a large following outside of its home country, even adding American guitarist Rob Caggiano (ex-Anthrax) in 2013. | |

Dragon Ball which was set in the same universe as Dr. Slump is significantly more well known. While the manga is all one and the same, the larger action-oriented Dragon Ball Z (The manga's Saiyan saga onwards) is far more popular than the original lighthearted action comedy Dragon Ball (which adapts the first issues). Dr. Slump as well originated from earlier one-shots such as Wonder Island and Today's Highlight Island. |

The Pink Panther: There are all these kids for whom the Pink Panther is a cartoon series... or an insulation mascot. In Spain, the Pink Panther is more associated with a pink sweet bun children love eating than with any of the movies. At least the Pink Panther appears on the package. In Trinidad, the "Pink Panther" name is associated with the reigning Calypso Monarch. Good luck finding anybody who remembers the movies. |

Rogue One is a standalone Anthology film in Star Wars as opposed to a numbered episode. However, many fans consider it to be as important as the main episodes, if not better.

Outside of Japan, if you see somebody talking about Tokimeki Memorial, they're probably talking about one of the Otome game spinoffs. This is in no small part because they're the only games in the series to date that have a Fan Translation note the first two game's DS versions and the third game's PSP version. None of the "original" games, where you play as a guy and date girls instead, have complete fan translations. In the case of the very first "original" game, this is very odd, because it was the Trope Codifier for the entire dating sim genre of video games, and is famous among dating sim fans in Japan. note attempts have been made to translate the very first Tokimeki Memorial game's SNES version, but they've all ended in failure. | |

Many World of Warcraft players are unaware that the Warcraft series also has three Real-Time Strategy games, which weren't exactly slouches either (two of them were best-sellers) — World of Warcraft was just that big. A sort of a running gag among the fandom is somebody mentioning having played Warcraft III and a WoW player responding something along the lines of: "World of Warcraft 3? I didn't know there was even one sequel." In fact, out of Blizzard Entertainment's most popular franchises, Warcraft without WoW is likely the least known of the three. This led to a rather hilarious April Fools joke by the staff, announcing a new game that was a RTS-style spinoff of World of Warcraft. They then went on to describe Warcraft III, as if it were an up and coming new game set in the World of Warcraft universe: Warcraft, Heroes of Azeroth. WHoA, to be precise. Speaking of Warcraft 3, the Defense of the Ancients: All-Stars mod has become far more popular than the game it was built from with people having bought the game just to play DotA, inspiring both a sequel and an entire genre. Many critics and bloggers referred to the 2016 film as "an adaptation of World of Warcraft". While it does borrow a lot to the latter for aesthetic and World Building purposes, the story adapts the 1994 RTS game that started it all, Orcs and Humans. |

Space Ghost is an example of a show that started a spinoff chain reaction. It was just one of many old Hanna-Barbera series that ended up on Cartoon Network. Then someone made a talk show out of it, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which was actually fairly popular and led to more spinoffs. The first of these, Cartoon Planet was Coast to Coast reinvented as a Framing Device for the Turner cartoon library, keeping the personalities established in Coast to Coast. Cartoon Planet was more popular in its day, though not as long-lasting as Coast to Coast, and its version of Brak became the centerpiece of the [adult swim] acid trip The Brak Show. Coast to Coast's second spinoff featured Moltar, another Space Ghost villain, broadcasting action cartoons from the Ghost Planet. Toonami was a massive smash hit that eclipsed all the other descendants of Space Ghost, with its amazingly high production values and resurrection of several syndicated anime and Western Animation action series. While it was later retooled to get away from its Space Ghost roots, ditching Moltar and replacing him with TOM, it remains a genuine icon of today's pop culture and the most popular spinoff of this family yet. In late 2015, a Shout-Out was made to the block's roots, with TOM's spaceship being destroyed and his escape pod landing at what appeared to be Moltar's old studio on Ghost Planet, which TOM promptly reactivated to broadcast anime once again. |

A strange subversion occurred with Pokémon GO. While the franchise has managed to hold on a very large and dedicated fan base throughout the years, Pokémon Go became one of the most successful video games EVER, with many people who hadn't played any video games, let alone Pokemon, playing it, despite the fact Pokémon Go was in fact a spin-off with only a few similarities to the main series games. This might seem like it qualifies at first, but in the fall of 2016, the upcoming main series games Pokémon Sun and Moon were revealed to be the most pre-ordered games in Nintendo history, no doubt due to Pokémon Go's popularity introducing new people into the franchise. Part of the reason why Go was so popular was because it's a free mobile game, compared to the main titles which require buying a console and then the game itself. | |

Xena: Warrior Princess has maintained its fandom to a greater extent than its parent Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, in no little part due to the character's appeal among lesbians and other women. But it is a more downplayed version than other examples as Hercules was still a very popular show during its run, even beating Xena and freaking Baywatch in the ratings several times and is still considered a quintessential 90s TV show, and if you ask anyone who watched TV back then they are very likely to remember the show. The fact that Hercules was more consistent with its quality level and never suffered the infamous Seasonal Rot that Xena did certainly doesn't hurt. | |

Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? didn't take long to eclipse the Jogwheel Originals in popularity. And in a sense of the microwaving show genre itself, that same show surpassed both Will It Blend? and dOvetastic Microwave Theater, the two shows that inspired it, in total views and subscriptions. And in the same vein, the most popular videos by Jon Paula are Movie Night episodes, one of his newest series'. |

The short-lived Oh Yeah! revival Random Cartoons resulted in Fanboy and Chum Chum, Adventure Time, and Bravest Warriors. Interestingly enough, Fanboy and ChumChum was the only one to remain on Nickelodeon. Adventure Time became a critically-acclaimed Cartoon Network series, while Bravest Warriors would eventually become a internet series. | |

In particular, Persona 4 turned into a Cash Cow Franchise of its own, receiving two fighting game Sequels that also featured Persona 3 characters, a dungeon-crawler Crossover with Persona 3 again, an Updated Re-release for the PlayStation Vita, and a rhythm game Sequel to the two Fighting Games. Furthermore, there were two Manga adaptations, two anime adaptations, a light novel Spin-Off, and two live stage productions. To really hammer this trope home, Persona 4 was the start of where Persona slowly phased itself out as its own individual franchise divorced from Shin Megami Tensei by removing "Shin Megami Tensei" as its title. | |

The anime adaptation of A Certain Scientific Railgun was originally presented as a spin-off of the anime adaptation of A Certain Magical Index, but wound up being more popular and selling more DVDs than the Index anime. It's not quite a straight example though, as the Magical Index novels are still among the best selling Japanese light novels; The debate over whether Index or Railgun (shows, not characters) is better is a highly debated topic among the fan base. | |

The Price Is Right started as a more relaxed game of price guessing hosted by Bill Cullen in the late 1950's. However, when Mark Goodson decided to produce a revival in the 70's, he decided to re-work the show into a carnival of glitz with elements he scraped from the popular Let's Make a Deal (i.e. plucking contestants from the audience to play mini-games, three giant doors, etc). The revised version, dubbed "The New Price Is Right", eventually eclipsed the original in popularity, and still airs to this very day. Most viewers barely even realize that their favorite show has been around much longer than they thought. | |

Fortnite's Battle Royale mode started off a side game to the main Save the World mode. Player Unknowns Battlegrounds fans flocked to the game due to PUBG's buggy launch state and price, while Fortnite was comparatively less buggy and free to play. Fortnite: Battle Royale has since eclipsed both PUBG and Save the World's popularity and is usually the first thing people think of when talking about Fortnite. | |

Dungeons & Dragons, the Trope Maker for the Tabletop RPG genre and major influence on the development of Video Games and the modern fantasy genre, began life as a supplement/spinoff of Gary Gygax's old medieval war game Chainmail and actually originally recommended that players use Chainmail to resolve combat situations. In turn, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons spun off as the more in-depth branch of the baseline D&D, but fully supplanted it from the third edition onwards, dropping the "Advanced" from its title. | |

Logan became the most critically acclaimed entry in the entire franchise, earning an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay in the process. It also outgrossed the mainline movies X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix both domestically and internationally despite having a more restrictive R-rating. |

Stargate SG-1 is considerably more well-known than Stargate, the 1994 sci-fi/action movie that inspired it. While the original film was a modest success at the box office, it's mostly remembered as a minor footnote in the careers of its director Roland Emmerich and its star Kurt Russell. The TV series, on the other hand, ran for a full decade and spawned a major multimedia franchise—including books, comics, video games, a cartoon, and two television spinoffs of its own (Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe). | |

The Colbert Report to The Daily Show. While the Daily Show is still fairly popular and running, Colbert's show was a Breakout Hit that really raked in the ratings, only ended because Stephen Colbert chose to end it and move onto other projects, and many consider Colbert's character performance much funnier than Stewart's more serious approach. Jon Stewart seems to have at least partly realized this and lampshaded it in a few episodes. | |

Paladins is a Hero Shooter with a respectable-sized playerbase. When its Battle Royale spinoff, Realm Royale, went public, major Fortnite streamers tried out Realm Royale because Fortnite servers were down at the time. They really enjoyed RR and the exposure caused Realm Royale's player numbers to skyrocket, sitting much higher than Paladins on Steam's top 25 most played games. Though as time went on, the numbers starting to slowy decrease from 100,000 players upon release, to ~6500 players. For comparision, Paladins has around 20,000-30,000 concurrent players.

The Honeymooners was originally a segment in The Jackie Gleason Show. Honeymooners is an interesting example. When the show was spun-off “The Jackie Gleason Show” in 1955, it lasted only one season (39 episodes) before it was canceled. The skit version would occasionally be revived up till 1978. In the 80’s, collection of skits of the Honeymooners were repackaged as 1/2 hour episodes for Showtime under the title of the “The Honeymooners: The Lost Episodes”, which were later combined with “Classic 39” from the single standalone season for syndication. It was then that the show become the popular classic it is today. | |

The Flash spun off from Arrow and soon became the highest-rating show on The CW, regularly outrating its parent show by an average of about one million viewers. A big factor is the tone of both shows: Arrow, while a critically-acclaimed show in its own right, is generally very dark, drama-filled and often not very family-friendly; by contrast, the Flash has fully embraced its comic-book heritage and has more of a balance between drama and humour, making it suitable for adults and kids alike. The fact Arrow got a nasty case of Seasonal Rot about halfway it's third season certainly didn't help matters. | |

Super Mario Bros.: The Super Mario Bros. series itself is this to both Donkey Kong and Mario Bros., the former of which has its own example in the form of Donkey Kong Country. The Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi subseries are more popular than the original Super Mario RPG. To be fair, Square's split with Nintendo pretty soon afterward probably scuttled any potential plans to keep the game and its own particular variation of the Mario-verse fresh in people's minds. The Mario Kart games have become more popular than the main platformers since Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, with Mario Kart Wii in particular actually outselling Grand Theft Auto IV in its first week alone. The Super Mario Land series has one in the form of the Wario Land series, and that series itself has one in WarioWare. Within the main platform series, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is this to Super Mario 3D World, having received a port on the Nintendo Switch before its parent game. |

Nickelodeon's KaBlam! (which, unlike the previous anthology series, was purely meant as a showcase for experimental animation) gave us Angela Anaconda and Action League Nownote The first two Action League Now shorts aired on All That, but the shorts are better associated with KaBlam!. Oddly, Angela Anaconda aired on Fox Family (now Freeform), though Nick did rerun Angela's solo series briefly in 2006. | |

Martin van Drunen started off as the original vocalist for Pestilence, but left after just two albums with them. While Pestilence still remained a name most hardcore death metal fans knew after he left, Martin himself gained a much bigger following with his main bands Asphyx and Hail of Bullets. | |

BABYMETAL started out as a sub-unit of the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin, with the intent of "mixing heavy metal and idol music". To say the least, BABYMETAL is far, far more well-known and successful outside of Japan than Sakura Gakuin could ever hope to be. They tour regularly around the world, including the United States (known for being nigh-impossible for Japanese artists to breakthrough), have enjoyed a memetic level of popularity over the internet, and have quite possibly become the most successful Japanese act internationally in over 50 years. While many know who BABYMETAL is, you would be hard-pressed to find someone outside of Japan who recognizes Sakura Gakuin. | |

Savatage was a Progressive Metal band that ran from 1978 to 2001, known in particular for their Rock Operas. One such album, Dead Winter Dead, featured a song that became a surprise hit: "Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24". Decided to experiment further with the style, they became founding members of Trans-Siberian Orchestra. TSO has became extremely successful for their Christmas themed rock operas (although casual audiences only know them for "Sarajevo"), while Savatage is almost forgotten and disbanded to focus on TSO and other projects. | |

Issues was formed after vocalists Tyler Carter and Michael Bohn were unanimously fired from their former band Woe, Is Me in 2011 for Creative Differences. They quickly became bigger than Woe, Is Me ever was. For comparison, Issues' debut Self-Titled Album made the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 in 2014, while WIM's debut album in 2010 made #16... on the Heatseekers chart. WIM's second album (post-firing) in 2012 actually did crack the Billboard 200... and it only peaked #167. Just to add insult to injury, Issues' debut EP, released the same year, charted higher... 71 spaces higher that is. Woe, Is Me broke up in 2013, not long before Issues debut album was released. Nowadays, they're remembered solely as "Tyler and Michael's former band". | |

Paradise Kiss (Gokinjo Monogatari) — The former is more popular outside of Japan since, unlike it, the latter does not have as many official foreign language translations. (Gokinjo Monogatari has French and Spanish translations for the manga and an Italian translation for the anime, at least, but Paradise Kiss has at least 10 translations, including to English, according to That Other Wiki.) | |

Indie rockers Y-O-U, though critically acclaimed & somewhat popularized by collaborations with The Brothers Chaps, hung up their band's collective hat in 2009 due to increasing difficulty getting bookings, but their barely serious side project, the oldies cover band Yacht Rock Revue, took off like a rocket financially. The YRR, on their first studio EP, covers a Y-O-U song. Not sure if sticking it to the people who ignored their original work, or just enjoying playing that song. |

NCIS, a spinoff of JAG, has gotten consistently better ratings and reviews since its debut, although JAG fared better at the Emmy Awards. Unusually, NCIS had fairly modest ratings in its first few seasons. Basically the show was doing well enough to not get canceled but not good enough to be a top rated series. By the show's fifth season, more people became aware of the show thanks to reruns and it became one of the most watched shows by its sixth. Whereas JAG was canceled after 10 seasons, NCIS is still a ratings juggernaut going into 17 seasons (and counting) and has become so successful that it has become its own franchise (NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans). At this point, most viewers probably don't even remember that NCIS was a spin-off itself. When by-then-retired Admiral Chegwidden makes a cameo in the 10th season finale of NCIS, it's basically an Easter Egg to JAG fans because the average NCIS viewer had no idea he used to be a main character. |

Batman: The Animated Series was originally produced as a tie-in to the Tim Burton-directed live-action movies, with the designs of certain elements and characters (such as Selina Kyle's blond hair and The Penguin's deformed hands) being clearly influenced by the 1989 movie and its sequel Batman Returns. The show went on to spawn the DC Animated Universe, which would go on to last over a decade throghout several more shows (such as Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond and Justice League), outliving the live-action film series after it took a more campy direction with the two Joel Schumacher-directed sequels (Batman Forever and Batman & Robin) that failed to attract an audience. | |

Daria. While everyone remembers Beavis and Butt-Head for its gross-out humor and comedy, this maintains a cult following and is often fondly remembered for being a satirical Unintentional Period Piece and a major turning point for both female-led and geek-oriented comedy. You'll probably also find people who don't realize that it was a Spin-Off, given how different the shows turned out and its Aversion of Required Spinoff Crossover.note The only clue within Daria itself is that the first episode mentions that the family moved to Lawndale from Highland. | |

Also from the same producers, Family Matters is a show everyone remembers, mainly for Breakout Character Steve Urkel- but what many people don't know or realize is that it was a spinoff of Perfect Strangers- Harriette had originated on that show as an elevator operator, and Carl had made an appearance there too. But characters from Strangers never appeared on the new show, so many people simply thought it was a new show. It also doesn't help that, while Family Matters has been a syndication mainstay since the late 90s, Strangers wasn't nearly as popular in reruns and seemed to fall into relative obscurity after it originally aired. Hulu streaming and DVD releases have brought Strangers more exposure recently, but Family Matters and Urkel remain household names. | |

Heroes of Might and Magic, a Turn-Based Strategy series, has all but displaced Might and Magic, the original first-person, party-based Role-Playing Game series, even before the setting was rebooted by Ubisoft, who acquired the rights to the franchise from the bankrupt 3DO. This led to some dramatic Fan Dumb events in the form of fan backlash towards the developers upon their attempt to bring Science Fantasy elements, mainstays of the RPG series to the spinoff, perceived by unwitting fans to be solely High Fantasy, despite taking place in the same universe as the original series. | |

And then Laverne & Shirley blew past Happy Days in the ratings, almost from episode 1. In the long run, however, Happy Days has made a far greater cultural impact. And then Mork & Mindy was spun off from both of those shows. Probably due largely to Robin Williams' performance, Mork & Mindy became the only one of the shows mentioned here to earn an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series (in 1979). |

Outlaw Star is combination of both this and Adaptation Displacement, as most people only remember the anime, which was adapted from the manga, which itself was a spin-off of a manga called Future-Retro Hero Story. | |

River City Ransom and Super Dodge Ball to Renegade, which were all part of the Kunio-kun series in Japan, but are hardly related to each other outside of having the same main character. Even in Japan, the more comical Downtown Nekketsu sub-series of Kunio games had a bigger following than the original "serious" Nekketsu Kōha games. | |

The Puyo Puyo games was a spinoff of Compile's RPG series Madou Monogatari, using the slime-type enemies as Falling Blocks. However, the Madou games have since all but fallen off the face of the planet, due partially to the popularity of Puyo games and partially to being Screwed by the Lawyers. | |

The first of these, Cartoon Planet was Coast to Coast reinvented as a Framing Device for the Turner cartoon library, keeping the personalities established in Coast to Coast. Cartoon Planet was more popular in its day, though not as long-lasting as Coast to Coast, and its version of Brak became the centerpiece of the [adult swim] acid trip The Brak Show. | |

Fate/stay night was relatively well-received, but it and its various spinoffs mainly catered to a niche fandom, with game sales typically along the lines of 100k total. Then along comes Fate/Grand Order, which not only became such a moneymaker to the point Sony Music consistently cites it in investor reports since release as a primary source of profit, it managed to rocket the fanbase to Touhou and Kantai Collection levels at Comiket after only a year into release. The Fate series itself is this to the rest of the Nasuverse, especially after Type-Moon started putting their other works on the backburner to promote it. |

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends has overshadowed Spider-Man (1981), a cartoon made specifically to get the attention of the major networks. That show has since faded into obscurity, despite actually being a strong show in its own right. (Try putting "1981 Spider-Man" through Google.) Both were actually made concurrently. However, the solo show was sold to syndication while Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends was aired on network TV during the traditional Saturday Morning children's show block, so it achieved a wider audience. Also there are inconsistencies with the portrayals of some villains who overlapped both shows, so calling one a sequel to the other may not be accurate. | |

Friday Night Lights is a major Cult Classic with a devoted fandom, and it's gone on to be much more well-known than the modestly successful Billy Bob Thornton movie that inspired it (albeit loosely). Overlaps with Adaptation Displacement, since the movie is now primarily known as the inspiration for the TV spinoff, and not so much as an adaptation of the 1990 nonfiction book by H.G. Bissinger. Ironically, the TV show's continued popularity has led to talk of it being revived as a movie, even though it was a movie in the first place. | |

New Mutants was the first spinoff X-Men ongoing and featured a younger cast. While initially very successfully, over time the series' sales declined. They were reinvigorated when Rob Liefeld started pencilling and the character Cable was introduced. Cable became the New Mutants' third mentor and, after a significant boost in sales, the series ended and was spun-off into X-Force, the first issue of which is the second-best-selling single issue of all time. In the decades to follow, there would almost always be at least one X-Force and/or Cable title on shelves, while New Mutants has struggled to maintain a series since, with the most successful being a revival in the late 2000s. | |

YouTube comedy duo Mike & Gian managed to have this happen to them twice. Their original channel had few short sketches before they decided to make another channel focused on the Breakout Character, Dom Mazzetti. The channel became much more popular than their old one, which stopped being updated soon after. After another two years they created another spinoff, Broscience Life, focused on satirizing gym and fitness culture. It quickly gained enough popularity (especially among gym and fitness enthusiasts) to surpass both channels in popularity. Dom Mazzetti channel stopped being updated soon after. | |

The Rune Factory was produced as a Harvest Moon spinoff, but sold so much better than most Harvest Moon games that subsequent games were spun off into their own series.

WORKING!! was a print spinoff to a webcomic also titled WORKING!!, but by the time the latter was remade for tankoubon format, the former had a large fanbase and several adaptations under its belt. The title became so associated with the spinoff that the original had to rename itself to Web-Ban WORKING!!, and later WWW.WORKING!!, to signify it wasn't the same as the other series. Much like Sailor V, advertising treated it as the spinoff when it was eventually adapted. | |

Amongst Stars! fans, Girls! is seen as little more than background reading for the aforementioned connections, and the characters in it more or less talked about according to their role in Stars! lore (i.e. "Leo's sister" for Ruka, "Mao's inspiration" for Mai, "Anzu's friend/brother" for Suzu/the Transfer Student). The lack of a dedicated translation team for Girls! unlike with Stars! is also a big contibutor. | |

Hellblazer was spun-off from Swamp Thing after John Constantine proved to be popular with fans, and while Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing is still acclaimed, Hellblazer ended up becoming Vertigo's flagship series and went on to hugely influence the urban fantasy genre as a whole. | |

And then Mork & Mindy was spun off from both of those shows. Probably due largely to Robin Williams' performance, Mork & Mindy became the only one of the shows mentioned here to earn an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series (in 1979). | |

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer series is far more well-known than the original 1992 Buffy film, which is nowadays known pretty much only for being spun off into the show. In turn, the last two seasons of Buffy were eclipsed in the ratings by its own spinoff Angel, although Buffy is still the more well-known show overall. As for the comics, Angel and Faith (the main spin-off, a Spiritual Successor to the Angel (IDW) comics) has become more popular than the regular Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9 series. This is at least in part due to the fact that some of the more popular characters were Put on a Bus in the main series to get their own series/mini-series (Angel/Faith, Spike, and Willow). |

Cartoon Network's What A Cartoon! Show gave birth to Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken (which eventually gained its own spin-off in I Am Weasel), The Powerpuff Girls, and Courage the Cowardly Dognote The Courage short (The Chicken From Outer Space) originally aired on MTV's own anthology series, Liquid Television. Another short called "Larry and Steve" was picked up by Fox and became Family Guy. | |

Moon Knight began as an enemy in Werewolf by Night, and debuted pretty late in the title's run to boot. He's since become a much more popular character than the Werewolf by Night, and has gotten his own book several times. | |

The Authority began as a spin-off of Stormwatch, then ended up taking Stormwatch's place among Wildstorm's major titles, to the point that for a lot of comic-book fans, the Weatherman is better known as the archnemesis of Apollo and Midnighter than as the former leader of Stormwatch. | |

While the original version of The iDOLM@STER was popular in Japan, THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls eclipsed it in popularity after the anime and Starlight Stage app were released. It was also the first installment in the franchise to become popular with Western audiences thanks to Crunchyroll releasing official same-day subs for the anime series. | |

While the manga is all one and the same, the larger action-oriented Dragon Ball Z (The manga's Saiyan saga onwards) is far more popular than the original lighthearted action comedy Dragon Ball (which adapts the first issues). | |

Certain characters who made their debut in the pages of Fantastic Four, or at least became associated with them, have spun off into their own and/or other franchises, and become more prominent in the Marvel Universe than Marvel's First Family themselves sometimes. Examples include Doctor Doom, Black Panther, Silver Surfer, Galactus, and Namor, the latter of which debuted first but gained more prominence as an enemy / ally of the FF. Doom and Galactus are still heavily associated with the Four, especially with Doom being their Arch-Enemy, but they've both become general villains for the Marvel Universe that just about every hero has encountered at some point, and Galactus himself is a cosmic force of nature that's a threat to all life on Earth and beyond. Black Panther has his own mythos, his comics have become a popular franchise in their own rightnote Especially since the movie, and he's been more heavily associated with The Avengers for decades. Namor's become more well known for his rocky relationship with Marvel's heroes in general. And Silver Surfer has his own mythos within the cosmic Marvel Universe, and if there's anyone likely to fill the role of hero for that particular side of Marvel, it's usually him. | |

Diagnosis: Murder was a spinoff of Jake and the Fatman, which introduced the series lead character Mark Sloan in a Poorly Disguised Pilot. While Fatman has fallen into obscurity despite a five-season run (in part because it was never rerun), Diagnosis: Murder ran for eight seasons and has maintained popularity in reruns after ending in 2001. | |

Frasier started as a spinoff of Cheers, but it went on to be a Cult Classic with its own enthusiastic fanbase. While its difficult to say which show was more popular—they were both quite popular and beloved in their day—the Frasier fandom seems to be much more active today, while Cheers is mostly just remembered as a funny sitcom from the '80s. At the very least, it was definitely a More Acclaimed Spin-Off: it won 37 Primetime Emmys in its entire run, to Cheers' 28. | |

The Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye is not only this to Mike Costa's run, but also to its fellow spin-off Robots in Disguise. The main reason being that while MTMTE was breaking new ground and taking risks, the latter two books do very little beyond the same old "Autobots v. Decepticons" storylines other than taking place in supposed peacetime (which often came across as an Informed Attribute at times). It also helps that MTMTE has been virtually free of any and all Executive Meddling, while RID constantly has its storylines and characters picked based on what toys are out at the time. | |

Monster World to Wonder Boy, which specifically spun-off from the second Wonder Boy arcade game Monster Land (Monster World was the title of the Sega Mark III version in Japan). There's a reason why the Compilation Re-release of the whole series is called the Monster World Collection and not the Wonder Boy Collection. | |

The Sailor Moon manga and anime are both relatively well known (the awareness of the manga has increased after ten years and an Updated Re-release), but not nearly as many people are as familiar with its sister manga, Codename: Sailor V which stared Minako as Sailor V. Sailor Moon actually began as a spin-off/quasi-sequel (they ran concurrently) when Toei saw potential and asked Takeuchi to expand it with more characters. In fact, when Sailor V was finally published in America in 2011, it was treated as the spinoff. | |
