That last one kinda looks like the dad from Diffrent Strokes (the white guy, not Meadowlark Lemon). Or ... well, some other balding middle-aged white guy who wouldn't be allowed on TV today.
The only spin-off I can think of is Facts of Life. Is that it?
That house in the other one (not the one w/ the two people, the house by itself) looks really familiar. I'm gonna say ... Alf? I'm sure that's wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was a show I watched regularly.
No, not FoL. It was a very short-lived sitcom. And the connection between the two is very slim. Mostly I really wanted to post a picture of Meadowlark Lemon.
Not Alf. But if you watched the show that it comes from regularly, then you and I have a lot in common. Which is oh, so sad, knowing the program.
In Mike's defense for not getting Hello, Larry-- it was a terrible show and this was taken from the even-weaker-than-the-first 2nd season intro.
As far as Mama's Family-- it surprises no one that I know when I tell them I'm 3rd cousins to the guy who played Vinton on the show, that renegade of the 'rural purge' era, Ken Berry.
Barrelhouse is a literary journal that bridges the gap between high and low culture. This is the blog firmly planted in the low side of things: random thoughts from our editors and friends on music, movies, television, bubblegum cards, Mr. T, the importance of the movie Roadhouse and whatever else we argue about after we've had too many Brooklyn Browns.

No, not him. But he do sorta resemble him...
And ACTUALLY, this show is sorta kinda a spin off of DS. The main character of this show was old friends with Philip Drummond.
