Thinking of the wonderful world of KNOTS, it blossomed into something much more than simply a spinoff of DALLAS. What are some ideas for spinoffs of the main show a-la THE COLBYS that you would have loved to watch in the 80s?
My idea: As much as I wish Donna and Ray had stayed together, I would loved to have seen a spinoff starring Donna Culver Krebbs with Sen. Andrew Dowling in D.C., with wheeling and dealing in the nation's capitol. Could have been great with reoccurring cast members from Dallas lobbying for oil, and would have loved to see more of Susan Howard. Thinking of the shortlived daytime soap 'CAPITOL' as inspiration!

That actually could have worked and I remember Capital.

My thought has always been Lucy and Mitch in Atlanta. Mitch a successful surgeon, Arliss and Afton as regulars, plenty of scope for drama with the patients and other hospital staff.

A political drama with Donna is an idea I've had in mind a long time. I could see Ms Howard carrying a show for several seasons. I was not fond of the Ray and Donna and Andrew and Donna pairings. I'd have split up the Dowlings, and Donna finds love with another man, having more children. It'd show Donna going from different stages until she became the first female president

When Jenna and Ray move to Switzerland I would spin them off into their own sit com.

The title of the show is Krebbs Kuckoo Klocks and follows both Jenna and Ray in their own shop and restaurant.

One episode will guest star Patrick Duffy as Bobby as he visits their restaurant and orders a steak de run.

He soon finds out why it's called a steak de run as he spends at least two hours running back and forth from the Gents! :)
