EPISODE 47 (147): Spinoffs

As with successful TV shows that spinoff into subsequent TV shows, sometimes "liberry" programs spin off into others. However, for every Cheers to Frasier spin-off, there are twenty forgettable Friends to Joey spinoffs. I got to be the architect of two such back to back spinoffs of our weekly morning story hour program, which became evening story time projects with the unlikely acronyms of O.U.A.W and T.U.A.T. Over the course of most of a year, their attendance, and therefore success, varied wildly from week to week, with anywhere from six to zero kids turning up to hear me read stories at them. While I always thought of myself as Frasier, I guess I was closer to Joey. Or maybe even, The Tortellis. (This episode features notable appearances by previous podcast topic characters Little Kevin Martin and Chester the (Potential) Molester.)
