5 more queer(ish) spinoffs that ended up being total sh*tshows
5 queer(ish) TV spinoffs that ended up being total sh*tshows generated more discussion than we anticipated. So, in the spirit of spin-offs, we thought we’d go for round two, and as such, have come up with five more queer and queer-adjacent shows that never should have seen the light of day.Related: 5 queer(ish) TV spinoffs that ended up being total sh*tshowsOf course, sometimes one great show can produce another equally great show.
The Mary Tyler Moore show gave us Lou Grant and Rhoda, for instance. And The Daily Show gave us The Colbert Report. Other times, not so much.Now, without further ado…Sex and the City was a show of its time: a sitcom about horny, monied, single gals living in the Big Apple before 9/11, Bush, and the Great Recession exposed the series as a total fantasy.
Need more proof? The once-endearing characters came off as selfish, superficial bubbleheads in both Sex and the City movies.
Then came The Carrie Diaries, an ’80s prequel series about an even more superficial, teenage Carrie Bradshaw. Still, not even two seasons of that trainwreck could have prepared us for the current disaster of And Just Like That, a show so obsessed with looking current that it never manages to find a story worth telling and manages to carpet bomb what little legacy the original show had left.
