Is Spin off the new thing? Heroes is next


Is it just me - or wasn't spin off created when a series was dying? Now it seems to be the big thing - First the Grey's spin off...but now they're planning a Heroes spin off
NBC execs will announce today at their annual upfront presentation in New York that they've been developing "Heroes: Origins," a spin-off series of this season's breakout hit that will, at least temporarily, replace "Heroes" on NBC's Monday night schedule.

The new show has been ordered for six episodes, and will introduce a completely new set of characters. The coolest part: In an effort to make the show interactive (and, I'm guessing, to squash what is going to be some griping by "Heroes" fans who are unhappy that the original show won't return in September), NBC will ask fans to vote on which is the new characters is their favorite, and that character will then become a regular cast member on the original series.
Other than Frasier - I cant think of a spin off that worked?

I think this is rediculous,,,kind of goes along the same lines of the sequel discussion we were having earlier. Come up with something original people!!! I say it's getting a bit sickening.
