The Top 10 Shows That Should Get Spin-offs

Ensemble casts seem to be getting bigger and bigger across television, which means there are inevitably great supporting players who don't get nearly enough screen time. So instead of giving them mere minutes per episode (if they're lucky), we think the networks should just spin off the most deserving folks into their own stand-alone series. If it can work for "Frasier," it can work for, you know, actually good characters.

w00t!!! Number Nine (how appropriate, I must say...)

9. "Heroes"

Let's take some of the forgotten characters and give them their own shows, starting with Claude Rains, a.k.a the Invisible Man, played by Christopher Eccleston. Watching someone who secretly lives among us and likes to cause a bit of mischief would be better than anything "Heroes" itself has offered up lately.

So I see the end of 'Chuck', and loved what I saw. Never watched it before, didn't really understand it, thought it looked cool, but just never watched. Adam Baldwin caught my eye of course, and yee haw, it was really fun. Will definitely have to catch up on that show.

Okay, so now, I've missed, what, basically half of Heroes... And I have no freakin clue what is going on. But what I have seen... WTF? I'm so lost. Oh, but wait!
( Spoiler Space... )

It's official... The Claude "phasing" action figure has been unveiled...
( Awwww, he's so cute and... )

Okay, thanks to ms_sardonicus, who posted this at ecclescult. There is hope, just a glimmer, but it's there in the distance.

Something interesting that just came up...

Snippet:( For length... )
That said, my sense is this could be a very cool additive. We're looking at it in many respects as the 360 experience of the show. This idea where you have these other venues to go and explore various angles of the show. This is really just an on-air version of that in a way. It allows us to tell, let's say you were interested in the Claude character played by Christopher Eccleston, on a show like "Origins" we could tell the origin story of that character and I don't see anything wrong with that. That's a very cool use of that opportunity.</i>

Interviewer:And based on the e-mail we get week in and week out, there seems to be a lot of fan interest in more with Claude, so that idea alone could really do well for you.

Kring:
Exactly and we have not completely worked out all those details, but we love Christopher Eccleston and it really is a matter of his availability as an actor, but we would have him back in a heart beat.
