Thursday Movie Picks: Television Edition: Spin-Offs


I skipped May's Television week of Wandering Through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks because I had nada to pick from (I don't even remember what the theme was) but I just couldn't miss spin-offs week. Without further ado, here are my picks

Better Call Saul (2015- )

Before becoming Breaking Bad's Saul Goodman, he was Jimmy McGill, a struggling lawyer in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This show shows us how he became Walter White's morally challenged lawyer. This show is so good, and the mix of comedy and drama is just right. Not to mention how good Bob Odenkirk is. 

The Cleveland Show (2009-2013)

A spin-off of Family Guy, it follows Peter Griffin's neighbour Cleveland Brown as he moves with his son to Stoolbend, VA, to start a new life with his old high school sweetheart, Donna, and her two children. It's not nearly as good as Family Guy but I enjoyed the episodes I've seen.

Young Sheldon (2017- )

Sheldon Cooper has always been my favourite character from The Big Bang Theory, mostly because he's the one I can relate the most, and this series follows the early life of Sheldon, a child genius growing up in Texas. If you don't like Sheldon, just watch this and you'll fall in love with him. Iain Armitage is so lovable, Zoe Perry just nails the role of Sheldon's mother and Annie Potts is brilliant as Meemaw.
