Line 1: {{trope}} Your show has been a smash success! You're on your 5th or 6th season and your star decides he's had enough ... and decides to end the series. But you don't want to end just yet! Maybe the producers want to milk the cash cow a little longer. Maybe you can create ... an [['''After Show]]'''. An [['''After Show]]''' is a very specific combination of [[Spin-Off]] and [[Retool]]. It is a clear attempt to extend the life of a show by renaming it. To be an [['''After Show]]''' 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 ... ''[[The Ropers]]'' is just a spin-off of ''[[Three's Company]]'', but ''Three's a Crowd'' is an [['''After Show]]'''. The best way to illustrate an [['''After Show]]''' is if it can be placed in this statement.... ________ is an attempt to do _______ without ___________ . Named after the show ''[[~~After MASH (TV)\|After MASH~~AfterMASH]]'', one of the most famous ~~[[After Show\|~~'''After Shows]]''' ever. {{examples}} Line 13: * ''[[Archie Bunker's Place]]'' is an attempt to do ''[[All in The Family]]'' without the Family. * ''704 Hauser'' is an attempt to do ''[[All in The Family]]'' without the Bunkers. * ''[[~~After MASH (TV)\|After MASH~~AfterMASH]]'' is an attempt to do ''[[MASH (television)\|Mash]]'' without Hawkeye, BJ, Charles, Hot Lips, and war. ''[[Golden Palace]]'' is an attempt to do ''[[The Golden Girls]]'' without Dorothy. * ''The Legacy Of Reginald Perrin'' is an attempt to do ''[[The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin]]'' without Reginald Perrin (due to [[Actor Existence Failure]]). Line 25: ** The After Show concept is the main reason Paramount felt confident in pouring so much money into Next Gen's first season - they figured if it bombed, they'd just add the episodes to the original show's 79 episode syndication package and make money off the 13/26 episodes that way. * ''Three's a Crowd'' is an attempt to do ''[[Three's Company]]'' without Janet and Terri/Crissy/Cindy. ** And [[Trans -Atlantic Equivalent\|likewise]], ''Robin's Nest'' is an attempt to do ''[[Man About the House]]'' without Chrissy and Jo. * ''[[Genshiken]]'' has recently been re-started but since almost all the male club members have graduated the series is now focused on the adventures of the club's now nearly all-female cast. Not really a case of executive milking, since it's just an adaptation of the storyline the original author has created. * ''[[Scrubs]]'' season nine, aka ''Scrubs: Med School'' is an attempt to do Scrubs without JD. Line 40: {{reflist}} [[Category:Derivative Works]] [[Category:~~After Show~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
