CBS recently announced a new spin-off of "How I Met Your Mother" called "How I Met Your Father," set to follow the network's Monday-night rating's winner.
After the news of "Glee"ending after season six, rumors have been circling that producer Ryan Murphy will be creating a spin-off for the show's actress, Lea Michele.
While some spin-offs have been major flops ("Joanie Loves Chachi"), others have gone on to be just as, if not more, successful than the original.

"Good Morning, Miss Bliss" was soon restructured as "Saved by the Bell"— a sitcom about the students at Bayside High School. The set was relocated to Los Angeles, and characters Kelly Kapowski, Jessie Spano, A.C. Slater hopped on board.
"The Colbert Report" (2005-)
Spin-off of: "The Daily Show" (1996-)
Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" paved the way for the fake news program's former character, phony correspondent Stephen Colbert, to get his very own show on the network.
Stewart explained the difference between the two shows, saying, "In the way 'The Daily Show' is kind of a goof on the structure of news, this is more of a goof on the cult of personality-type shows."
In September, "The Colbert Report" picked up an Emmy for Outstanding Variety Series, ending "The Daily Show's" decade-long winning streak.
