Film spin-off
What ?
BTVS was a film first, so I'm claiming spin-off. But you are right, that show would be less without her.
Good lord the trailer is amazing.

by which I mean, it's deliciously, ridiculously early 90s
Watching it now it almost seems like a parody.
well thanks for the discovery anyway, It looks worth a watch to me
If you are a fan of the show, yes.
I have teenage memories of it. Not sure it was really any good...
No way !! a film ?? Is it any good ?
Bond spin-off?
Homage maybe, but not a spinoff :-)
Yeah. I'm stretching my rule as much as possible. I'm basically trying to exclude all characters that have already been audience tested. Parody is sort of included in that.
Ha ha, fair enough, I admire your determination to make this rule stick!
Another counterpoint though - Quincy ME. Oh course you could argue that it's not all that good even with Jack Klugman's crime solving coroner.
Oh, another one - Father Ted!
Yeah. I may have to exclude medical/investigative.
House, Sherlock, Columbo, Reacher, Lucifer
Veronica Mars, Ironside, Chuck...
Arguably Fawlty Towers too?
Nah. Fatty Owls is named after the hotel.
Chuck is all about Charles Carmichael. (Streeeeeeeetch).
Ha ha, fair enough. I see I've met someone as stubborn as I am ;-)
