• [first lines] 

  Troy McClure : Spin-off! Is there any word more thrilling to the human soul? Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such TV spin-offs as "Son of Sanford and Son" and "After Mannix".

• Troy McClure : Not long ago, the Fox network approached the producers of "The Simpsons" with a simple request- 35 new shows to fill a few holes in their programming lineup. That's a pretty daunting task. And the producers weren't up to it. Instead, they churned out three Simpsons spin-offs transplanting already popular characters into new locales and situations.
