Which sitcoms were capitalized on because of their popularity by adding an animated counterpart?

"Nanny and the Professor" had two cartoons TV-Movies as ABC Saturday Superstar Movies. I Dream of Jeanie had "Hey, Jeanie!" Others included "My Favorite Martians," "The Mini-Munsters," "Gidget Makes the Wrong Connection," and "Tabitha & Adam Meet the Clown Family"(paraphrasing the title), a spin-off of Bewitched. Ooh, I almost forgot "That Girl in Wonderland," and "The Nanny Christmas Special; Oy to The World." And lets not forget those spin-offs of Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Dukes of Hazzard, and plenty of others.

D-DEY you forgot Mork & Mindy had a cartoon spin-off too. He-Man had a spin-off of his show about his sister Sheera. Sheera something else I forgot the other names. But I think that spin-off was really lame the shouldn't been made at all.

Aw, nuts. You're right. But if you're going to mention spin-offs of cartoons, like She-Ra, you can't forget "Daria" being spun-off from "Beavis and Butt-head." Silver Daze mentioned the 1977 incarnation of "Batman," however; 1)It was originally a comic book before it was a TV Series, and 2)There were other Batman cartoons before and after the one from '77. So I don't think it counts here.

Boy, I'd love to see some of those "ABC Saturday Superstar Movies" rerun! They did one for "Lost in Space", too.

Don't forget the cartoon versions of "Star Trek", "The Partridge Family" ("Partridge Family 2200 A.D.") "ALF" ("ALF Tales"), and "Punky Brewster". Or maybe you should. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

The Partridge cartoon was fun, though. It was a ripoff of the Jetsons, with the Partridges living in a sky city in the future. Shirley Jones and David Cassidy didn't participate, but the rest of the cast provided the voices. I'd love to see this one again, too.
