Reply to comment by Chasingtheimprobable in TIL John Byner was originally cast as Mork from Ork on Happy Days, but found the premise ridiculous and quit days before filming, leading Robin Williams to be called in last minute by LoneRangersBand

There were a few more little known spinoffs (I had to look it up) also...

[edit] >Unrelated, but Fraiser is also a spinoff of Cheers

Indeed. Spinoffs in more recent times would be all the CSI shows after the original, NCIS is a spinoff of JAG and has several of its own spinoffs. Law & Order has a few, etc.
