crazy tv spin offs

I have never been much of a fan of spin offs of tv shows. My thought is, if there is more story, keep the original series going, otherwise, let the show end. Some of the worst spin offs of all time:
10. Joey
9. Road Rules (and all the junk that has since followed since the flood gates were opened)
8. Saved By The Bell: The New Class (and the college years)
7. Joanie Loves Chachi
6. LVU, CSI... and all that followed the classic Law & Order
5. AfterM*A*S*H*
4. A Different World
3. Muppet Babies/Flintstones Kids/Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo
2. Archie Bunker's Place
1. The Brady Brides

Well anyways, today I read of a supposed spin off of Beverly Hills 90210. PLEASE say it isn't so! That show could have ended after graduation from high school and been just fine. This spin off apparently is copying the original story line of Midwesterners moving to West Beverly with a daughter and adopted son. Rumor that one of the characters is the son of David and Donna Silver. Seriously, I am all for Hollywood writers getting their dues and I know they work hard, but lets get some new writers in there. Stop rehashing all these old plots. This is one spin off that will surely make a top ten list in the future for worst spin offs.

Oh yeah, I also just read about a Family Guy spin off where Cleveland has his own show. What the....!?!? What's he gonna do? He is such a minor character on Family guy anyways. How about a spin off on Quagmire or something.

What is up with tv these days? So what do you think is a successful spin off? A mistake of a spin off?
