Kate & Allie: Why the Spin-Offs Failed
"Kate & Allie" is one of the most acclaimed sitcoms of the 1980s. Susan Saint James and Jane Curtin played best friends raising their kids together under the same roof. But did you know the show almost had TWO spin-offs? A backdoor pilot episode tried to launch a spin-off for guest star Lindsay "The Bionic Woman" Wagner. Another failed spin-off featured comedy legend Andrea Martin (SCTV, Only Murders in the Building). So why did the spin-offs fail? Find out on Behind the Backdoor Pilot: Kate & Allie!
