You don't have to be an avid movie buff to know that fans hate spinoffs, no matter how beloved the original movie or show was. People just hate to see their favorite projects turned into commodities for producers and studios to make a quick buck, especially when the proposed spin-offs are developed by different production teams than the original ones.

Of course, we have seen countless iconic spinoffs over the years, but it should be noted that for every "Frasier," there are dozens of half-baked, uninspired junk shows that add nothing to the original and simply ruin its universe for the sake of commerce.

Here are 15 of the worst TV spinoffs that should never have happened:
