Probably "The Jeffersons" was the most successful spin-off TV series. It was a spin-off from "All in the Family" in the mid-70s.

Maybe you're just too young to remember most of them, but do the names "CSI" or "Law and Order" ring a bell? Or "Star Trek"? (Animated series, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise)

The Jeffersons(from All In The Family), Maude(All In The Family), Angel(to a smaller degree)(Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and Frasier(Cheers) all come to mind if you talking about ratings success.

All in the Family produced Maude, The Jeffersons and Good Times; Happy Days produced Laverne & Shirley; and even they call them "franchises", the Law and Order and Star Trek series are nothing but spinoffs. Same for CSI.
