Mork was a character in a "Happy Days" episode before being spun out into a new series.

And they had to re-shoot a new ending for his original Happy Days episode for reruns, since the original ended with it all being Richie's dream. The new one added a scene where Mork erased the experience from all the Happy Days characters' minds.

Laverne & Shirley, Morn N Mindy, and I think Joanie loves Chachi all spun off from Happy Days.

Unrelated, but Fraiser is also a spinoff of Cheers

There were a few more little known spinoffs (I had to look it up) also...

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.

and Happy Days has two parents, sort of:

  1. Love and the Happy Days on Love American Style
  2. American Graffiti (the similarities are many, including Ron Howard and Cindy Williams)

Morn was a character on Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Great line delivery, too.
