Chekov: A spin-off of the new Star Trek movie/Original series. After a disaster that flings the Enterprise into a new alternate universe (this one inhabited by the characters of the first three Star Wars movies). All of the cammand crew are dead except Chekov who takes command of the Enterprise. He wants to help the rebel alliance and they would like his help because of the ship he commands but because of his horrible accent they have a difficult time communicating with him and in the end just cant take him seriously. He tries to take on the Death Star alone and ends up getting the Enterprise destroyed.

Debuting this month on the History Channel: Ice Road Truckstop Whores -- the compelling true stories of prostitutes turning tricks along the most dangerous roads.
And coming later this year from Lucasfilms: Tatooine Idol -- watch as Jabba, Salacious Crum, and Boba Fett judge auditions from across the planet to find a replacement for Max Rebo's band. (On a side note, Sy Snootles will be replacing Tia Tequilla on Shot at Love.) Can the judges resist the urge to feed the contestants (and eachother!) to the Sarlaac?
And, since Star Trek is big again, Discovery is working on a new reality show "Vulcan People, Illogical World."

I would have loved to see an 'Alex P Keaton' spinoff straight after Family Ties ending focusing on Alex's adventures on wall street

I watched this show a lot, but it was a long time ago, so I don't remember all the details - but it would be funny if all his talk was just bluster, and he got fired from everyplace he tried out at until he got a job in some farming co-op seed store.

Original Show:
1. Will & Grace
2. Heroes
Spin off suggestion:
1. Jack and Karen or just Karen Walker
2. Sylar

Quagmire spin off instead of that crappy The Cleveland show.
A lot of Buffy spin offs have already been mentioned but what i would really like to see is "Tales Of The Slayer" get made. It's a series of short stories (i think they have 4 books out) Each episode would revolve around a different slayer. They could start out adapting a few from the books and make some original stories if the series does well. There's some good stuff in Vol. 1. They could also do a few faith episodes throughout the season

I'd still be down for that Quantum Leap spin-off focusing on Sam's daughter leaping around trying to get Sam back.

I remember The Facts of Life had two episodes focusing on a boys military academy that were pretty funny. I've always wondered why that show never got picked up, since NBC was making a name in light sitcoms.
In the last season of The Sopranos, there was a all too brief plotline with the normally useless AJ hanging out with the sons of other NJ crew members. That could've made a decent spinoff.
Or, even though I'm usually against it, a show about the beginning of the Soprano family, starting with Johnny Boy and Junior.

Chloe from 24 and Marshall from Alias butt heads when their respective agencies merge and they are forced to "work it out" as sudden co-heads of the new agency's Tech department.

My dream spin-off would be a Friday Night Lights related spin-off that focuses on Vince Howard playing college football.

I remember the rumors about "It's a Guy Thing" a spin-off of friends with David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Perry from a few years ago and I was very excited. I was crushed when the rumors turned out to be false. Friends was comfort food TV. I enjoyed every season of that show.
So, if asking about spinoffs, that would be my choice. All of my shows that got cancelled early wouldn't really fit into the spin-off thread though (Carnivale, Rome, Firefly, etc).
