But getting back to the point. Several of us here like to toss around our varying ideas for different TV shows that only exist in our heads. While some of us might think the idea of our favorite shows getting their own spin-offs is preposterous, many of us just might have an idea or two of how we&#039;d take our favorite characters from said shows and give them their own place in the sun to shine even brighter. 

Anyone got any ideas floating out there? </blockquote>
