After "Friends" ended NBC learned with "Joey" that you can't always just throw a character from a popular show onto their own show.
Worked very will with "Fraser" after "Cheers" ended. That one surprised me because I always thought Fraser was a poopty character.

I loved Fraiser on Cheers, the dynamic of him and Lilith was great. Fraiser (the show) worked because the cast was on point and also followed a some what similar formula of Cheers in terms of comedy but the show overall was different enough to not seem like the same thing. The writers/creators also purposely moved him across the country so that NBC couldn't get the Cheers cast on every episode and that the writers wouldn't use that as something to fall back on.
I never saw Joey but based on what I have seen from Friends, he seems like the obvious and also the bad choice for a spin off. The story that drove Friends was Monica and Chandler.
And there have also been shows out there that for the last season of the show the main cast is in half of the episodes, or not nearly as much because they are testing the waters to see if the show would be able to go on without the main cast. They tried to do it with Charmed (which I actually watched) and I read but did not watch that they tried to do it with the last season of Scrubs.

Seinfeld is hands down my all time favorite show.

They have Seinfeld reruns on between 3 and 5am here. I usually watch it if I can't sleep. But overall, I find it to be a show that feels very... Ego?
