Rock and Chips was another OFAH spin off. Never watched it - was it any good?

Personally quite liked it but you would really have to go into it not looking at it as an OFAH spin off as they're completely different types of programme

Does Caprica count as a spin off to Battlestar Galactica?

It does - and I made it past about 1 episode before giving up.

I started the thread on another BSG spin-off. They all suck. And a new one coming out soon I'm excited about (it's the hope that kills you)

They are once again talking about rebooting/remaking Quantum Leap. If it stays in the same continuity i'd class that as a spin-off. Not sure how great that'd be.

If it’s someone leaping about from the early 80’s to present day 

I’d be up for that.

Would be delighted if this happened, if only so that once again, having made a colossal f**k-up, you could simply stare confusedly at your hands and mutter “Oh Boy!” in a desperate attempt to avoid the blame. It’s a strategy that served me well in the past but seems lost to younger generations.

Another spin-off on the way courtesy of Netflix, That '90s Show. Unlike the failed 80s Show, this will have a link to the original as Red and Kitty Foreman are going to be in it. With Eric and Donna's kid coming to Point Place to spend the summer with their grandparents.

As long as Red is still the same character as he was in the original, it might be watchable.

I suspect he won't be, and it won't be.

I would say so. Not one for the people who yelled, "Where're my Battlestar Galactica parts II, III and IV?"

John Sullivan said right off the bat that Rock and Chips wasn't like OFAH. The whole point of it was to give us Joan's backstory. It was a drama with elements of comedy and it worked well. If it was to be an out and out comedy I'm sure Sullivan would have insisted on a laughter track/live audience.

I enjoyed it. It did what it set out to do.
