You Should Have Quit While You Were Ahead: Television Spin-offs We Could Have Done Without

“Joey” had all the makings of a hit spin-off, at least on the surface. The show, a spin-off from the wildly successful “Friends,” focused on one of the series’ most beloved characters, Joey Tribbiani. But sadly Matt LeBlanc’s loveable dope just couldn’t carry 30 minutes of entertainment on his own. The ratings were enough of a disappointment, in fact, that NBC ended up pulling the series midway through its second season (after already switching its run night to try and boost viewership) and refused to air the remaining episodes that had been shot. Damn, homie, that’s pretty sad.
