History Main / Aftershow

* [[Newhart]] was at one point to have been an After Show, with Suzanne Pleshette again being Bob's wife Emily, with them running the Inn. However, when you consider how the show ended...

* "The Hogan Family" is an attempt to do ''Valerie'' without Valerie (due to the main character killed off).

* "It Sticks Out Half A Mile" was a radio-show attempt at making ''DadsArmy'' without Captain Mainwaring or most of the platoon. Actually, Arthur Lowe was supposed to voice his character in the show but he died after making one episode, so they built up John LeMesurier's Arthur Wilson as the main character. His death a year later effectively ended all work on the program.

* ''AreYouBeingServedAgain'', also known as ''Grace and Favour'', is an attempt to do ''AreYouBeingServed'' without the department store, Mr. Lucas or Mr. Spooner, or either of the elderly Grace Brothers the store was named for.

** And [[TransatlanticEquivilent likewise]], ''Robin's Nest'' is an attempt to do ''ManAboutTheHouse'' without Chrissy and Jo.

* ''TheAdventuresOfSuperpup'' is an attempt to do ''TheAdventuresOfSuperman'' without Superman.

An AfterShow is a very specific combination of {{Spinoff}} and {{ReTool}}. It is a clear attempt to extend the life of a show by renaming it. To be an AfterShow it must 1) come after the end of the original series and 2) Star as regular cast members at least one member who could have been considered a star on the original or feature the same setting as the original show. For example ... ''TheRopers'' is just a spin-off, but ''Three's A Crowd'' is an AfterShow.

* ''704 Hauser'' is an attempt to do ''AllInTheFamily'' without the Bunkers.
