Was Family Business episode a pilot for a spinoff?




I LOVE Jimmy Baio and finally got to see the episode with him tonight (Family Business) WOW it seemed like that was a pilot for a proposed spinoff?

Couldnt find any info about that though?

Any diehard fans know?

Thanks :) It seemed like it was the Garibaldi's show and the Rush's were secondary....

I was wondering the same thing!

Which episode are you guys talking about??

reply

Yes, it was. I remember when the episode first aired.
I've always wondered about the episode with Dick Van Patten; Henry's friend who was going to be engaged to a much younger woman. I'm assuming it was a pilot-why else would they spend an entire episode devoted to a friend of Henry's that we never saw before and never saw again?
But I'm not sure about that one, I had lost interest in the show by that point. I still liked it, just didn't watch it every week like I did previously.

Who are the characters in the episode that was supposed to be spun off?

What made them special?
