14

Somehow, they turned Rambo into a kid-friendly Saturday morning cartoon. Not even the show's head writer could believe it got greenlit, but 1986's Rambo: The Force of Freedom ran a surprisingly long time - for a total of 65 episodes. CRACKED.COM — Source: CBR

13

12

The Golden Girls had a spinoff, The Golden Palace, that lasted 1 season. The Golden Palace It was basically a reunion of The Golden Girls but without Bea Arthur, and the premise was that Rose, Blanche, and Sophia buy a hotel and work in it. CRACKED.COM — Source: CheatSheet

11

They tried to spin off a standard '90s sitcom from DuckTales (unsuccessfully), QUARK Disney's PACK It was called Quack Pack, and it took the regular sitcom formula and tired to put the DuckTales characters into it. It lasted a total of one season. CRACKED.COM — Source: ScreenRant

10

Tales from the Crypt had a sci-fi spinoff that, well, did not take off at all. Perversions of Science's host was Chrome, a female robot, and the format was basically the same as Tales... but the show died after ten episodes anyway. CRACKED.COM — Source: ScreenRant

9

8

In the '80s, Ewoks had their own kid-friendly cartoon (called, well, Ewoks). In it, Ewoks spoke English (presumably to make them slightly more endearing to kids). The show didn't last longer than a year, though. CRACKED.COM — Source: Digital Spy

7

Air Bud had a spinoff, Snow Buddies, that led to the deaths of 5 puppies. Disney Snow Buddies They fell victim to a virus that, unfortunately, spread in the winter conditions needed for shooting exterior scenes. Even IV drips couldn't save them. CRACKED.COM — Source: Complex

6

5

After the success of That '70s Show, Hollywood tried out That '80s Show. THAT SHOW The shows didn't share characters, a setting, or anything else -- one was set in the '70s, the other in the '80s, and that was the only connection. CRACKED.COM — Source: Entertainment Weekly

4

In 2009, Doctor Who got a spinoff, K-9, that it had almost zero connection to. A different network produced it, so they couldn't even mention Doctor Who -- and they had to redesign K-9, because they didn't own the character's design either. CRACKED.COM — Source: Vulture
