We've still got one last episode to go before Game of Thrones is done forever—at least until the inevitable wave of spinoffs and prequels hits—so who knows, maybe Weiss and Benioff can make us forget about this uneven season with a breathtaking finale.

As Below Deck has become an established hit, and even spawned a growing franchise of spinoffs, Bravo producers seem to be leaning more and more into conventional reality stunts, like dramatic mid-season firings and crew defections, and a big "man overboard" moment last year.

Long before "Friends" liberated $503 million from Netflix's pockets, it was the Patient Zero of TV nostalgia, extending its five-season life through reruns, spinoffs, TV movies, theatrical movies, cartoons, a variety show, memes ("Sure, Jan") and not a few tell-alls and documentaries.

But Melius found that spinoffs from U.S. industrial companies return twice the value of the broader stock market, revealing a more optimistic forecast for GE. "GE's [sum-of-the-parts] as an example … likely undervalues the assets by 25 percent or more," Melius wrote.

The latest star of The Bachelor — ABC's 21-seasons-and-counting (not including spinoffs) competitive dating show — has the smile of a smug startup founder, the unsettlingly intimate murmur of a close-talker, and the wardrobe of a J.Crew outlet that only stocks V-neck tees.

It describes the book's thunderous success: its hundred-and-more editions, its translation into fifty-odd languages (reportedly, it is still the second most popular book among Japanese girls), its sequels, its spinoffs—the Hallmark cards, the Madame Alexander dolls—and, above all, its fabulous sales.

And with potentially limitless material for spinoffs, prequels, and side stories in the Star Wars universe, it seemed possible that Rogue One would condemn the Star Wars franchise to an endless plot treadmill, where events progress to an ever-escalating series of stakes but never climax or conclude.

|
The biggest trends for the 2017–18 television season are also the most expected: familiarity (nostalgic revivals of classics; spinoffs of popular hits), good ol' fashioned patriotism (CBS, NBC, and the CW each have a military drama), and a gross number of series led by men—especially white men.
|
|
In September, the IRS said it will no longer issue so-called "private letter" rulings to companies seeking guidance on the taxable nature of spinoffs before they happen, which means Yahoo will not know if the spinoff meets the criteria to be tax-free until after it occurs.

Almost 20 years into the reign of "The Bachelor" and its many spinoffs and descendants, the people who appear on such shows may profess to be searching for the love of their lives, but it's much more likely they are in search of the career boost of their lives.

|
But the strategy poses risks of its own, among them that there aren't enough properties that can support a multi-movie investment: Even among the most devoted 1980s-toy nostalgics, is anyone really hankering for, say, a G.I. Joe and Micronauts movie, plus years' worth of crossovers and spinoffs?
|
|
Hire some of the best people to make the spinoffs happen Finally, THR reports that HBO would be enlisting the help of people like Max Borenstein (Minority Report), Jane Goldman (The Woman In Black), Carly Wray (Westworld), and Brian Helgeland (A Knight's Tale) to breathe life into creative and compelling storylines.

Solomon, for his part, is obsessed with "Star Trek: The Next Generation," which has become the lens through which he views the world — and, as he well knows, he has embarked not on a three-year mission, but on one that could last a lifetime, with endless spinoffs and reboots.

In February, Netflix announced that it would adapt the series into a 10-episode family dramedy; this August, Audible plans to release all 131 titles in the main series (not counting spinoffs like the Super Specials and Mysteries) as audiobooks, with the first five titles to be narrated by Elle Fanning.

But it's what Bravo ended up doing with that success — replicating the formula seamlessly into nine more cities and endless spinoffs — that created a single, shiny universe where all the Bravo stars seemed to reside, launching businesses and shilling products so that even viewers could buy their way into it.
|
|
Additional movies, but fewer of them; producing single ideas, as opposed to leaping straight to the added burden of banking on trilogies; and yes, a lot of streaming -- including experimental swings, potentially serving as an incubator for future spinoffs -- building on the success of "The Mandalorian," the buzzed-about Disney+ series.
|
|
However, in light of the increasingly unflattering pall that The Bachelor and its spinoffs have cast upon the pool of potential mates — which, again, producers have cherry-picked for their Bachelor — it seems facetious to claim that anyone who shows up at a casting call for the franchise is there to find love.
|
|
FOL wasn't perfect; the show was riddled with outdated tropes about Black women, but even so, it spurred spinoffs like Rock of Love, I Love New York, A Real Chance of Love, and 2009's For the Love of Ray J, in which 14 women had the chance to date the singer.
|

"We see no quick fix to what CMG really needs, a revitalization of top line, and activism's traditional tools for restaurants — spinoffs, refranchising, asset sales and cost cuts — don't appear to offer short-term opportunities, leaving few obvious quick levers to pull," Morgan Stanley analyst John Glass wrote in a research note Wednesday.
|
|
We've all been pondering what the spinoffs might be about since they were announced — Mashable even came up with five ideas for the new Thrones shows — but two of the suggestions that we (and many other fans) have landed on have already been eliminated by Martin: Dunk and Egg and Robert's Rebellion.

Twenty years ago today, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone (or, Philosopher's Stone, as it was known in the U.K.) was published — the first in a series that kickstarted eight movies, several spinoffs (including the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, currently on the Palace Theater in London), and countless memories.

Roivant Sciences has had a bumpy couple of years, but that isn't stopping investors from pouring more money into the four-year-old company, which aims to one day be a giant parent company for dozens of independent biopharmaceutical spinoffs — and is fulfilling that vision by creating one independent company at a time.

The stud of the television dating scene is "The Bachelor" and its spinoffs, and though it is sheathed in the trappings of romance — red roses, votive candles, diamond rings — it plays most of its love-seekers as fools, assigning them job titles like "pantsapreneur" and "twin" and scoring them with dopey circus music.

" (Surprisingly — or perhaps not surprisingly at all — Kennedy has written some recent fictional spinoffs of the British science-fiction-as-parable television series.) This short novel's protagonist is a little girl named Mary who lives in a poorly governed city filled with elegant possibilities: "interesting songs and stories, foods and clothes and conversations.

While opening sales for "Joker" were not as high as they were for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" ($166 million in 2016) or "The Dark Knight Rises" (about $161 million in 2012), Gross, the movie consultant, noted in his report that character spinoffs typically make less money than the original movies.

|
|
Even with social media giving fans an open forum for feedback it's difficult to pinpoint exactly why some of this decade's spinoffs have landed and others faltered, but looking back on the history of fandom and knowing why these imaginative side stories grew popular in the first place, one can hazard a guess.
|
|
Spinoffs are frequent: The biggest stars sometimes get miniseries in the lead-up to a big life event, like a wedding; one former Atlanta housewife has carried her own show since 453; and one of the network's most successful shows, Vanderpump Rules, began as a spinoff of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

|
Contestants on both The Bachelor and its various spinoffs, including The Bachelorette and Bachelor In Paradise, are instructed to bring at least 0003 weeks' worth of clothing for the show, and to pack for all seasons and occasions, since they're often whisked off to exotic locales like France, Finland, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

It's been more than two decades since the Stargate franchise first united our nerdy love of archaeology and interdimensional space stuff, and now the universe that spawned two movies and a trio of television spinoffs is returning once again with a new TV series that explores the life of the woman who started it all.

It is a torture scenario derived from No Exit, and it thoroughly explains how stuff like this happens: For starters, I asked the expert on all things The Bachelor and The Bachelor spinoffs, Reality Steve (a blogger who regularly knows the winner of a given season before it even starts airing), to fill me in.
|
|
People love to forget about Fantastic Four as well, given how critically panned Fox's three film adaptations of the team were, but they are now back to Marvel too with this deal, and bring characters like Silver Surfer and Doctor Doom along with them (two characters whom Fox had begun talks about spinoffs for).
|
|
Simmons is still working on his own HBO show Given the number of ventures he's bringing forward — a website, a podcast network, consultation with HBO Sports, spinoffs like After the Thrones — it's easy to forget that the centerpiece of Simmons' deal with HBO is a show of his own, which is still being developed.

Even if GE is ultimately booted from the Dow, perhaps after more asset sales or spinoffs reduce its relevance, it might not be terrible for its shareholders: Historically, stocks newly deleted from the Dow have often outperformed the index itself afterward, as the ejections often happen when investor sentiment and valuation are near a bottom.

Fitch believes Liberty LLC continues to carry meaningful liquidity with $492 million in readily available cash, $975 million of availability on QVC's $2.65 billion revolver due June 2021 ($140 million matures on March 2020), and $123 billion in other public holdings as of June 30, 2016 (pro forma for the spinoffs of Expedia and CommerceHub).

Solo: A Star Wars Story had comparatively low box office numbers compared to the mainstream franchise and reportedly led to its studio pulling further film length spinoffs off its release schedule (they do plan to release TV length Star Wars stories The Mandalorian on Disney+, as well as two prequel series on the same service).

|
But it is joined by other events: long-standing ones like the Winter Antiques Show (New York), the Biennale in Paris, and BRAFA (Brussels), as well as ambitious newcomers such as Masterpiece (launched in 2011) and Frieze Masters (2012), both in London, and Maastricht spinoffs TEFAF Fall (2016) and TEFAF Spring (2017) both in New York.

In its presentation, which follows a joint press release by Dow-DuPont promising to consider the portfolio after the deal is completed, Third Point asks whether the plan is even the best way to maximize shareholder value or whether the company should consider creating additional businesses, including more spinoffs or divestitures, to better enhance that value.

Is it any wonder, then, that only a few years after the trial, uber-Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer — who'd been enamored by a script written by former forensic investigator Anthony Zuiker — launched a fresh reinvention of the standard TV police procedural on CBS CSI and its subsequent spinoffs focused its criminal investigations squarely in the police lab.

As president of MTM Enterprises, a company he founded with his second wife, Mary Tyler Moore, in 21981, Mr. Tinker produced the show named for her, one of the first series to feature an independent career woman as the central character, as well as spinoffs like "Rhoda" and the one-hour newsroom drama "Lou Grant," which examined societal issues.
|
|
Even some shows that held steadfastly to problematic 2000s-style molds, like the terrible life decisions featured in "Teen Mom" and its spinoffs ("Teen Mom 2, Electric Boogaloo") have an enduring fandom who see the shows as harmless guilty pleasures rather than cultural oddities that merit a long, hard look in the collective mirror of society.
|
|
This film and its spinoffs shot her to cult stardom in Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East (lobby cards in many languages can still be found on eBay) — and it also captured the imagination of one future American auteur: Quentin Tarantino has said Uma Thurman's character in "Kill Bill" was partly inspired by Marrie's Cleo.
|
|
It was a delicate line to walk: Warner used snippets of music from the original Harry Potter movies and invoked the boy wizard's name in certain marketing materials, but was careful not to create overt connections that did not exist in the movie — something that studios often do with franchise spinoffs, much to the displeasure of fans.
|
|
In Delaware, despite some notable failed investments (especially trying to save a closed General Motors factory), government incentives during my tenure resulted in the reopening of a refinery, the near doubling of employment in the state by one of the world's largest banks and keeping two of the three spinoffs from the Dow/Dupont merger in Delaware.
|
|
That meant that the prop swords in sequel trilogies (along with the various modern spinoffs, like Rogue One) could finally solve the lightsaber's long-standing light problem in a surprisingly low-tech way: using illuminated prop blades on set, which is similar to the original reflective tape they used back in the '70s, with the final effects grafted on top.

|
That might sound small compared to PornHub's 64 million views per day, but if GoneWild is the original, parent NSFW sub on Reddit, it's given birth to a whole tribe of children — or "spinoffs," if you will: GoneWildCurvy is the second most popular behind GoneWild, just another example of what viewers find sexy versus the public perception of what an idealistic porn star might be.

While Martin admits that he hasn't been able to sell HBO on the idea yet, it's beyond us how he can even think about piling yet another project onto his docket, which already includes a superhero series at Hulu, five Game of Thrones spinoffs in the works at HBO, and finally finishing the damn books—plus, who knows, maybe a Rick and Morty crossover?

Future's "Mask Off": The Bill Nye the Science Guy theme: A holiday flavor, with Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You": Meme-inception edition, with the Walmart yodeling boy's sweet melody: Even the theme song for Guile from Street Fighter: They even inspired several spinoffs: And, lest we overlook it, it's important to note that the meme only works thanks to the unbridled enthusiasm of the dancers themselves.

The stars of the first of HGTV's five national Flip or Flop spinoffs, the 13-episode series Flip or Flop Vegas, might bare some similarities to the original stars Christina and Tarek El Moussa — she's a young mom with an eye for all things glam, while he handles the construction side — but the Marundes, both 34, are more than ready to put their own spin on the hit franchise.

"The Fight for the Future of Movies" by the really handsome author Ben Fritz, and if you're someone who has wondered why are there so many superhero movies and sequels and remakes and spinoffs at the multiplex, why are there so few interesting original films for adults, this book explains why that happened, how we got here and what the future of movies may be as all the digital companies are moving in.

Orwell's vision of a world of total surveillance may have had its fullest, if most ambiguous, realization in reality TV. "Big Brother" and its spinoffs survived a copyright challenge in 2000 from the owner of the film rights to the novel, and has survived to provide memorable moments, including in November 2016, when contestants on "Big Brother Over the Top" emerged from sequestration to learn Donald J. Trump had been elected president.

If I were a Warner exec and I was looking at Lego Movie money (and now Lego Batman money, after it topped the box office its opening weekend), I'd definitely be looking at The Lego Movie Sequel in terms of wondering what new spinoff-worthy characters could be introduced, and not just which Lego franchises would make solid satires, but which franchises could be picked up for Lego expansion, with the promise of movie spinoffs and endless built-in merchandising.
|
|
In addition to the abovementioned spinoffs (Fantastic Beasts, Solo, Better Call Saul) that appeared this decade, all of which can be summed up with a fanfiction prompt, fandom also flexed its necromantic social media powers to bring dead ideas and canceled shows back to life on a scale that straight up didn't happen in the previous decade (a notable exception is the fan campaign for the 503 Firefly movie Serenity, which would have five sequels by now if that show had aired closer to the end of the 2000s).
|
|
Nor does it explain the complete tone shift of spinoffs like the now-canceled Bachelor Pad and the more recent Bachelor in Paradise, where, through the power of editing, former contestants from both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are portrayed as either conniving, mercenary villains or so naive that they cartoonishly appeal to raccoons and crabs for relationship advice: The franchise's editors clearly have a wry sense of humor, and as of late, they've been taking more advantage of the hundreds of hours of raw footage at their disposal, using B-roll to spackle a pastiche of audio clips and hard cuts into a narrative that frequently drifts into the surreally absurd.
