Line 2:
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 ''[[Threes 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 ___________ .
Line 8:
Named after the show ''[[After MASH (TV)|After MASH]]'', one of the most famous [[After Show|After Shows]] ever.
