This is old news, isn't it? I swear seeing them have this record as far back as 2000.

I don't think Scooby-Doo has this many spin-offs. But Scooby-Doo could get a Guiness World Record for the most TV and Direct to Video movies.

Technically, Scooby-Doo has no "spinoffs" since the main character doesn't change. Plus some consider the original 1969-1985 incarnation to be one show. Same with Super Friends.

Direct-to-Video movies record? Maybe. I think Barbie might have more (you know, those cheap CG flicks that come out every few months).

Not gonna lie, I thought Happy Days would get this (it has Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, and Joanie Loves Chatchi) or some boring CSI or Law & Order show...

Isn't Ultraman sort of a spinoff of Ultra Q, giving Ultra Q the most spinoffs?

I'm curious how do they define "spin-off" because from what I'm gathering is they just decided to list every title. If that's the case wouldn't the Sentai franchise technically have this? Forgive me if it sounds stupid, never really watched the ultra series.

That is a good question.. sentai is on it's 37th installment and if the article is correct and there is only 27 Ultra Man installments then sentai should have this in the bag easily.

Hey Scooby Doo is a good show, don't badmouth it.


Anyway, congrat to Ultraman for making this achievement.
