- socialpyramid, on 07/08/2008, -1/+54Seriously, number 1 on this list is hilarious
- WatchDoit, on 07/08/2008, -29/+82Simpsons are better than Family Guy
- 111anaconda, on 07/08/2008, -0/+49Nice, but if you think about it, without Law and Order there wouldn't be a CSI, and without Matlock there wouldn't have been Law and Order, and I'm sure there was something before Matlock.
- nem0, on 07/09/2008, -4/+48Daily Show and Fox News. Both are fake news shows.
- Haoie, on 07/08/2008, -1/+44Classic Simpsons are the best.
Which, by some definitions, the seasons between 1992-1997. - mikec00l, on 07/09/2008, -5/+46Simpsons did it!
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -1/+33Nanny 911 and supernanny.
Although, both suck. - Kosher1947, on 07/09/2008, -1/+32Millennium isn't a rip-off...it was a spin-off. It was produced by Chris Carter. The shows even crossed over...story elements left over from Millennium were even concluded in the last season of the X-Files along with the Lone Gunmen.
If a show takes place in the same fictional world, than by definition it isn't a rip-off. - inactive, on 07/09/2008, -2/+29grey's anatomy is scrubs without jokes....its like the last 5 minutes of scrubs for a whole hour....
- MetalGear7, on 07/09/2008, -0/+26The Digg Crowd...Smart, Young, Educated, and ***** for articles with lists
- FaithclubDotNet, on 07/09/2008, -2/+28Lost is just a ripoff of Giligan's Island
- GerudoX, on 07/09/2008, -0/+26I thought Millennium was actually a loosely tied spin-off of x-files. I swear I remember an episode of the x-files talking about the Millennium group before that show ever started, and even using the main character in the new series.
- nexus420, on 07/09/2008, -0/+24I'll give you 5 reasons why......
- ExperiMETAL, on 07/09/2008, -3/+24I can't stand Sex and the City or any of those other horrid spin-offs.
- willster580, on 07/09/2008, -0/+20Looking back, I can't believe I watched either one...and thought it was scary too. Oh, and don't tell me that you weren't scared when the guy got trapped in the pinball machine.
- Herv3, on 07/09/2008, -2/+21How are you going to put Wife Swap/Trading Spouses and not give any love to Chapelle Show?
- allaboutdatiki, on 07/08/2008, -0/+19Was it Colombo before Matlock?
- PhoenixAvatar2, on 07/09/2008, -3/+22Pokemon -> Digimon
Power Rangers -> Virtually every Saban show made after Power Rangers (Beetle Borgs, VR Troopers, etc etc) - inactive, on 07/09/2008, -1/+18ds9 and babylon 5
- zakatov, on 07/09/2008, -1/+18Lol, flip THAT house..... how can we make a better name for our show... I know, we'll flip THIS house.
- SteveIsTheDude, on 07/09/2008, -1/+15Lost is cool, get out of your cave and go buy a TV.
- willster580, on 07/09/2008, -1/+15Anything where the main characters are only women that isn't porn is usually something I try to avoid.
- salvadorwii, on 07/09/2008, -5/+19you are right...
family guy is funny because all those "oh this reminds me of..." moments - GorfTron, on 07/09/2008, -1/+14Hee Haw VS Fox News
- andnever, on 07/09/2008, -1/+14youre right...a show that focuses on the lives and interactions of the young doctors rather than the actual hospital that happens to have a voice over narration by the main character who likes to tie all plot lines together at the end of the episode and add a dash of advice. with the guy and girl that are on again off again will they wont they. the teacher who yells and screams with a hard outside shell but is secretly sweet on the inside...let me know when i should stop.
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -0/+12Family Guy is nothing but those moments. Funny show, can only take it in small doses.
- wille1623, on 07/09/2008, -4/+15Flavor of love (vh1) vs. I love new york (vh1)
- Heywoodj, on 07/09/2008, -0/+11Perry Mason before Colombo?
- FENWAYFREAK, on 07/09/2008, -1/+11Seriously. No american idol vs. nearly every other show on television? (dancing with the stars, so you think you can dance, nashville star, too many to list).
- nexus420, on 07/09/2008, -1/+10like Angel was a spin-off of Buffy...Frasier a spin-off of Cheers....yep, they ***** up a couple on this list
- CurlyFoot, on 07/09/2008, -0/+9Then there's the 'House' vs. '3 lbs.' dilemma... I think we know who took that one down
- InvisibleInk, on 07/09/2008, -1/+10Thirtysomething, then Once and Again
Twin Peaks, then Desperate Housewives - cjmal, on 07/09/2008, -0/+9I'm pretty sure Law And Order came before CSI. The Law And Order series didn't even get a mention and it's way better than most other crime scene dramas.
- Intensity, on 07/09/2008, -2/+11What are you talking about, Digg came before Reddit.
- underdog138, on 07/09/2008, -1/+10I'll have to call bull on Gilmore Girls vs Dawson's Creek. The former was more about the relationship between Rory and her mother. The latter was more about the dynamics between Dawson and his peers.
Here's my man-card on the table. Someone pick that up for me. - HappyScrappy, on 07/09/2008, -0/+9CSI owes a lot more to Quincy, M.E. than it does to Law and Order.
- asskicker32, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8twin peaks is to desperate housewives as Vincent Van Gogh is to Jim Davis
- nexus420, on 07/09/2008, -3/+11ok people, you need to go back farther. The Simpsons is a rip-off of All in the Family. While the characters aren't as blatant as Family Guy (which is hilarious in a completely different way) it is still a rip-off. Hardly anything is original these days. Just look at what Hollywood is "remaking" and ripping off. And lets not forget that a ton of "our" TV shows like The Office are rip offs from the UK and other countries. We just repack things in shiny new boxes.
- missmorgie, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8Perry Mason!
- lordtyros, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8Eerie Indiana, anyone?
- mizike, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8So basically what you're saying is that New Zealand is responsible for the plague of reality shows that I'm subjected to? Damm you Kiwis!!!
Actually, reality TV has had a hugely positive influence in my life; it's proliferation caused me to finally cut the cable. Now I just download shows I actually want to watch instead of just sitting through whatever dreck happens to be on. Thanks Kiwis!! - wastelander, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8Don't forget Quincy!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy,_M.E. - RikkiTikki, on 07/09/2008, -1/+9vs. Rock of Love (vh1)
- SVOboy, on 07/08/2008, -13/+20Sadly not since ~season 12, save for rarely glimpses.
- atezun, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7Except of course "The Highlander".
- lummie, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7Actually American Idol was a rip of Pop Idol (UK) which was a rip of Popstars (NZ)
Just as Survivor (US) was a rip of Treasure Island (NZ) - TWiThead, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7The author credits the concept of an abrasive, overweight husband married to an out-of-his-league wife to "The Simpsons," and then he/she goes on to cite "The Honeymooners" only as the inspiration for "The Flintstones." Weird.
- lolwutpear, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7not just flashbacks: flashbacks AND pop culture references. like the simpsons, family has been steadily going downhill. the differences is that the simpsons were gold for most of the 90s, while family guy only had a few good seasons.
