Name TV Shows You Think Would Make Good Movies!

Post Reply New Topic

With 21 Jump Street due on 3/16, early word says it may actually be good.

So...name 5-10 TV shows, both old and new that you think would make good movies.

I'll start:

Arrested Development
Lost
Magnum PI
The Six Million Dollar Man
Doctor Who
Alias
Dexter

Tinker Tailor Soldier Sp... oh wait.

showing my age here, i was amazed that nobody ever thought about making a movie about a long-ago british series called "rock follies."
also, there was a somewhat authentic show about truckers called "movin' on" that i woulda liked to see as a big-screen movie.
i woulda liked to see a dramatic big-screen adaptation of "happy days" which showed the dark side of the dark 50s.
i think "leave it to beaver" shoulda been a big-screen soft-core porno job, like "flesh gordon." i can see barbara billingsly and tony dow now...
"east side/west side" woulda been a crackling inner-city drama up on the silver screen, with the same stellar cast.
"the outer limits" [as produced by leslie stevens] woulda been a fine big-screen sci-fi trip.
"love, sidney" woulda been so much more real if it were shown in the cinema free of network censors' interference.
a big-screen "soap" or "mary hartman, mary hartman" woulda been a libidinous hoot. those two series needed to be big-screen pornos.
'sanford and son" and "all in the family" woulda been so much more gritty and real if they were in theatres instead of the restrictive network small screen.
and last but not least, "time tunnel" woulda been a hoot writ large and with swirling thunderous surround sound and enhanced wide-screen sfx. why has nobody even thought of making time tunnel into a movie?

Spatz The Movie.

Fairy Tail. As long as they don't f**k up the material, ala Dragonball Evolution, I would so want to see that.

Generator Rex

Chuck, Pushing Daisies (though not a fan of the show), Jericho, Once Upon a Time (pace of TV show is getting on my nerves), Lost

Hawaii Five-O, but closer to the original than the remake that is still on CBS.

The walking dead

I'd like to see a Big Bang Theory Movie
