These shows got so popular, you might not even know they were part of something else.
The way people talk about it these days, you’d think the Marvel Cinematic Universe invented the multiverse of interconnected storylines and characters, but the concept of an interconnected world with multiple entry points has been the realm of television for basically as long as television has been around. With every successful TV show comes a sea of spinoffs, each more convoluted than the last, attempting to recapture the magic of what came before. Sometimes, it works out.
Every now and then, the stars will align and audiences will connect with a spinoff even more immediately and with more fervor than they did with the source material, and the new version will take on an identity of its own, maybe even surpassing its predecessor in popularity to the point that fans might forget that their favorite show was originally a small part of something else in the first place.
For this list, we’ve chosen ten of these very spinoffs that managed, against all odds, to be bigger and better than their roots. All of these shows ended up lasting longer and gaining more popularity with their fanbase than their predecessors, sometimes so completely that new fans might not even know they started off as something else.
