Love American Style spun off Happy Days, which spun off Laverne and Shirley, which spun off a cartoon version called Laverne and Shirley in the Army.

Golden Girls spun off Empty Nest, which spun off Nurses.

All in the Family spun off Maude which spun off Good Times.

But longest time, how long has Law and Order and L&O SVU been? Seems like forever.

also mork and mindy, neither of which spun anything off to make a longer chain.

All in the Family had a ton more as well.

Yes. There was also Blansky’s Beauties.

So:

  • Love American Style
  • Happy Days
  • Laverne and Shirley
  • Blansky’s Beauties

I could’ve sworn they renamed Laverne and Shirley in the final season when Shirley left (to something like “Laverne and Friends). But I can’t find anything online to prove it.
