Curb Your Enthusiasm is NOT a spin-off of Seinfeld. It's a different show made by the same guy.

A spin-off usually follows a character from the previous show into a new one.

Just The Ten of Us was a spin-off of Growing Pains.
Oh byte me you Nanctboy, it's mentions the program "Sienfield" more than the original and it always has on Jason Alexander or Julia Liouse Drefuss..not to mention Larry David who the George Costanza Character was based on

That's still not a spin-off, grandpa. :) Maybe you should stick to PBS and Lifetime.

Which Seinfeld character is on there? I've never seen the show but really want to.

It's not very good....then again I didn't like Seinfeld either.

Hercules -> Xena: Warrior Princess. Yeah, not a sitcom, but the spinoff was better than the original by far!

How about a spinoff of a spinoff? Good Times. Which was a spinoff of Maude which was a spinoff of All In The Family.
