All in the family had so many that they had spinoffs from the spinoffs. That show still holds the record for most spinoffs from one show.

There were a few more little known spinoffs (I had to look it up) also...
[edit] >Unrelated, but Fraiser is also a spinoff of Cheers
Indeed. Spinoffs in more recent times would be all the CSI shows after the original, NCIS is a spinoff of JAG and has several of its own spinoffs. Law & Order has a few, etc.

Harry Potter. Not really the leader of anything more than the holy trio and later his house until the last book.
