The article says this would be the 2nd spin-off from the show. What was the first one?

They gave Tracy Morgan (who played Calvin's brother in a few episodes) a show "Crutch" although he is no longer Calvin's brother, but is now a cousin of The Neighborhood’s Calvin Butler.

The show is currently filming episodes.

Francois “Frank” Crutchfield, who goes by “Crutch,” is a brash, yet beloved Harlem shop owner whose world is turned upside down when his highbrow son and free-spirited daughter move back into the family home.

From executive producer Cedric the Entertainer, Tracy Morgan is joined in his new Paramount+ sitcom, Crutch, by the supremely talented Jermaine Fowler (Coming to America 2, Superior Donuts) and Obie Winner Adrianna Mitchell (Fat Ham, Snowfall). An expansion of Cedric's very popular CBS series Neighborhood in it's 7th Season, Cedric was quoted as saying "Morgan plays Crutch, a ‘say-it-like-it-is’ widowed father who is challenged when his two adult children and a couple of grandchildren need to move back home, and let’s just say there will be several comedic complications.”

So Marty and Malcolm would move far away from Tina & Calvin. How does that make sense with Marty owning the car business with Calvin, and the mother of his daughter also living in the area?

But even beyond that, how would the original The Neighborhood work without the brothers in there? They are a big part of the show.

They would have to expand Marty and Malcolm a lot to make this work.

There are plenty of ways to migrate M+M to a new city.  Courtney could get a Dream Job offer elsewhere and Marty would need to follow in order to remain close to his daughter. He sells his interest in the business (hmm, to Dave?) and works remotely for JPL again.  Malcolm can also be offered a coaching position elsewhere, or even decide to pursue a higher-level degree at another university.

What I fear is that suddenly, "Cousin Oliver" shows up on the Butler doorstep.
