Well considering Fox's last great television series, the X-Files, has a spin off called Millennium, I would not be suprised.
On the other hand, Millennium was actually better than X-Files, although it completely flopped in the ratings.
House MD is a completely different kind of show though, although it does have a bit of the world is falling apart vibe to it... I mean, I love the beginning of the show where everything appears normal, and then suddenly something goes wrong. Like the first episode this season where a whole building just collapses. That intro was priceless, classic House MD intro. And they do it so dramatically... The world is falling apart...... hahaha
I think you're wrong. From the interviews and stuff I've read, RTD had the idea of Torchwood before Doctor Who was even up and running, but the idea of Jack was to give an "Action Hero" who would use guns and all the stuff the Doctor wouldn't, for the big Dalek fight in Parting of the Ways. It was only after Jack, and Doctor Who became so popular that his idea for Torchwood was turned in to a Doctor Who spin off.
I know the interviews you mean, I just think its very conveniently it happened like it did.
if he had the idea for Torchwood before Doctor Who, then its possible he used the lead from that, for the part Jack played, and Rose bringing him back like she did has been a big part of Torchwood.
somewhere in the back of RTDs mind, this was planned.

RTD has also stated that they expected Doctor Who to flop, why would they have planned a spin off from a show they expected to flop?
Besides wasn't Jack created by Steven Moffat? RTD keeps saying he wants the story of those 2 missing years to be done by Steven Moffat because Jack is his character.
the BBC didnt plan it that way, RTDs did.
also had it been a hit, we could have had Dawsons Creek & Young Americans, the lead from the 2nd show appeared in a few episodes of D.Creek, before his show launched.
and sorry for the confusion, when I said "parent shows" I meant both CSI & JAG.

I meant "they" as in RTD and the other producers. He said they expected 1 series and done, but they hoped for more. If he expected Doctor Who to flop, why would he even want Torchwood to be a spin off?
Tritter P.I.
I'd watch that. He was such a great asshole character. Some other guy tailor made for a spin-off ... meh ... trying to be super-cool often ends up super-lame. I'll give it a chance, but would rather have David Morse. All the shit he pulled with House could easily have gotten him fired, setting up the premise of a private investigatory practice.
By the way, is Tritter House's Moriarty? Is there another character that fits that character?

Well there was Moriarty...
maybe he was hedging his bets, if it failed he could still try and get some variation on Torchwood made, with or without Captain Jack.
Who did get away...
I don't even remember Millennium. I remember The Lone Gunmen spinoff, though.
^ Which, in some form of irony, foreshadowed the September 11, 2001 attacks. The plot of the pilot episode of the series depicts a secret U.S. government agency plotting to crash a Boeing 727 headed for Boston into the World Trade Center via remote control for the purpose of increasing the military defense budget and blaming the attack on foreign "tin-pot dictators" who are "begging to be smart-bombed."
Happy Days and Wait 'til Your Father Gets Home (a prime-time cartoon) both started as single episodes of Love, American Style (and, oddly enough, both starred Tom Bosley!)
Millennium was not a spin-off of The X-Files, or not initially thought of one. It was made my the same creative team, yes. However, until they did a direct crossover episode (which was after Millennium was canceled), they were considered separate (a crossover that made little sense in terms of Millennium's backstory). The only other connection was a loose crossover where Jose Chung appeared in a Millennium episode, but the writers said that it didn't necessarily mean that the two shows exist together, but rather that they were fond of the character.
Kind of the same way that Harsh Realm was not a spin-off of The X-Files either.
The Lone Gunmen, however, was a spin-off.
I would much rather see "Scrubs 2040" Where the fight between Doctors and Surgeons escalates even more. Doctors want to heal people by using gene therapy medicine and all the Surgeons want to do is dump all their patient's brains into prosthetic bodies.
Oh and the Todd is still a sexist jerk and does the "Prosthetic High Five *SLAP* " , Dr. Cox is old as hell and cranky as hell and Dr. Bob Kelso is back as chief of medicine , but he is brain in a jar now that he had to sell his body to pay for his son's and his son in law's wedding.

that would make a good finale, kind of like the dream sequence they had on the W&G finale
But I've already seen Shark!
