For reference to crappy spin offs, see "The Michael Richard's Show" and "Joey"
Perhaps Nascar could spinoff a series just for Kyle Busch.
I used to like The Office, it went on too long and has been going downhill the past few seasons. Any spinoffs would likely be terrible as well.

Pretty much. I've lost interest at this point.

That is a pretty good analogy for this. Nobody likes Dwight/Kyle so lets create a show around him. 
I like the new crop of NBC shows though. Mindy, Ben&Kate, and of course New Girl is awesome.
I thought they were setting up a Pam Jim spinoff. If the season premier the camera guy said "you are the ones we want to follow" and Pam said something like "why us. Nothing fun happens after you have kids" Then Jim invested in that business Pam knows nothing about.
But yeah, with the exception of Frasier, spin offs usually die.
Yeah, Frazier was about the only example I can think of that was successful.

Laverne and Shirley was a spinoff of Happy Days.
See? Lightning CAN strike twice 
The Mindy project wasn't bad. Just watched the first episode last night. Not completely sold, but worth watching again.
I could see a Jim/Pam spinoff, but a whole show on Dwight sounds nauseating.
I watched Partners last night too...fail.
Mork and Mindy spun off of Happy Days as well.

My name is Dwight. berkeley you. 
Funny OT true story. One of the shops I frequent receives regular doses of my sarcasm. The girl behind the counter one day quipped: "If you had a show, I would totally watch it."
So again, in the nicest way possible, berkeley you. 
Adam 12 spawned Emergency!
I like "Go On" with that dude from Friends.
In reply to Maroon92:
"It's called "The Net" with the girl from the bus..."

they already did that.. twice.. they call it "the Nationwide Series" and "Camping World Truck Series"...
Who could forget "THE Jeffersons?"
The Cleveland Show is a spin off from Family Guy, and American Dad appears to exist in the same universe and has character crossovers from time to time.
NCIS (the highest rated show on tv, if you believe their promos) is a spin off from JAG.
the Facts of Life was a Diff'rent Strokes spinoff..
Pinky and the Brain and Freakazoid were both spinoffs of Animaniacs..
so spinoffs can be successful if done right.
The Simpsons is a spinoff (kind of) from the Tracey Ullman Show.

The first of many spinoff's from All in the family.

That's because Seth McFarlane has had ONE idea in his life. He has just managed to sell it 5 or 6 times for an obscene amount of cash.
Good idea.

And as a result, the product suffers. All of the products.
