    I don’t know because I didn’t know they existed… It’s quite a quandary.

    National Lampoon Animal House. It was called Delta House, but had some of the same characters and actors from the movie. I was so upset when it got cancelled that teen me even wrote a letter of complaint to the network.

        Those ones I knew about! I used to watch the Beatlejuice animated series when I was a kid. Also, I watched it before I ever watched the original movie.

    I’ll give a more recent one. What we do in the shadows. I feel at this point that the show is more popular than the movie was.

    There was a single season sitcom in 1990 called Ferris Bueller. His sister was played by an unknown actress by the name of Jennifer Aniston.

    This is quite the quandary. Do I reply with lesser known spin-offs or do I answer the question that’s impossible to answer honestly?
