@WackyMeetsPractical: Let me give you an example of something that is NOT an example, then. ''{{Angel}}'' obviously takes place in the same universe as ''{{BuffyTheVampireSlayer}}'' and has some of the same characters, but episodes of ''Angel'' are generally not considered episodes of ''Buffy''. They are classified as separate shows. Episode guides for ''Buffy'' never list episodes of ''Angel'' as also being episodes of ''Buffy''. In contrast, the ''Paper Mario'' games are on most lists of Mario games. If game is a ''Paper Mario'' game, it will also be considered a Mario game, but ''Angel'' episodes are not considered to also be ''Buffy'' episodes. Therefore, ''Paper Mario'' is a sub-series of ''Mario'' and ''Angel'' is a {{Spinoff}} of ''Buffy'' but not a sub-series. In order for any series B to a Spinoff of A, B must be classified as a completely separate series from A that just happens to borrow characters or settings from A.

@fulltimeD: If there are multiple ''Terrence and Phillip'' specials that are still considered episodes of ''SouthPark'', then yeah, that'd count. If not, then I don't think so, but it's hard for me to say since I don't know much about ''South Park''.
