there almost a spinoff called-"HORSHACK". But the idea never got off the ground. Who the hell would have looked at that show?

You have got to be kidding me! LOL! An Epstein spinoff would have been interesting, but Horshack! No way.

I don't think i'd watch that. I never cared much for Horshack.

I'd rather watch a spinoff with Washington, Barbarino or Mr. Woodman.

I now what you mean. Horshack was my least favorite character. The name of the spinoff was going to be called "Horshack"-LOL

Giving Horshack a spinoff would have been like giving

Ralph the Doorman a spinoff from the Jeffersons

Bookman from Good Times

Rob from What's Happening


LOL

LOL Jesus, that would be the most boring ass sitcom EVER! if the writers or the heads of CBS decided to give Ralph the Doorman a sitcom:rolleyes:

I guess that's why they were making him grown all of a sudden. Getting married and all. Tell me, during his "grown" years, was he still doing that laugh? Can't remember.

The producers had to know you can't all of a sudden change a character who was a NERD to a Mature Man overnight because the viewers will not take that character seriously.

NOT ME!! puke: On the other hand, I would've watched an EPSTEIN spinoff for sure...:grineyes:

[tv star collector]

That would have been like doing a SAVED BY THE BELL spinoff starring Screech(!). Can you imagine how grating that voice would be as the
lead character in a show?? :crazy:

Epstein or Freddie spinoff, defintely not a Horshack spinoff

[Scoobiedoo30]

this is news to me

[hatwink]

I had heard something about it years ago. But there are a few people who might have watched it, especially if they made some minor changes to the chararcter.

[OH Nuts!]

I would have watched it at least once out of curiousity. And if it was a bomb I'd give it one more chance. I agree with you, Horshack was not that strong of a character to build a show around. It probably would have flopped big time. Vinnie maybe would have worked.

Part 2 of Whatever Happened to Arnold was the pilot to the series. Kotter and the Sweathogs only appear in the opening and closing scenes.

I don't recall seeing that episode on TV land

[BeatleMoe]

I recorded the episodes (most of them) from WPIX 11, which was an a la cart station on my Dish. The episodes ran uncut. This episode was about Horshack trying to get a job after his fifth stepfather died. The Sweathogs only appear before the opening theme song, and in the tag, Gabe only appearing in the opening segment as well. It was an okay episode, taking the viewer into Horshack's life, but other than that, nothing to recommend about it.

[Tammy]

Aww, I love Horeshack and I think it would have been cool to see him with his own show. I would also have watched an Epstein spin-off, not sure about Freddie tho. And I think Barbarino's character was too stupid to survive on his own show :)

[treky]

I would have watched it; sounds like it would've been good!

[Stuck In The '70's]

what about Mork from Ork? :lol:

LOL
well, I haven't seen any of those shows in years! Are all 3 of them still on TV LAND?

no, I can't as I've never seen "SAVED BY THE BELL". Never even HEARD of it.

[TVFactFan]

what about Mork from Ork? :lol:

Never understood why he was popular-lol
