are there any sitcoms that are/were based on a movie, where you liked the movie, but didn't like the show, or vice-versa?

Never cared for the MASH movie but loved the series.

I heard somewhere that they're making a Practical Magic series, which is based on the movie (I guess) and the movie was based on the book.

Good Movies, Bad Shows:
"Private Benjamin"
"9 to 5"

The Odd Couple(I liked both the movie and the TV show)

what's happening was based on the movie cooley high

Some other tv series based on movies, comedies and dramas:

Clueless, I liked both

Alice, the movie was "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore", never saw it

Popi, a movie starring Alan Arkin, one of my all-time favorites, never saw the series

Soul Food, liked the movie, haven't seen enough of the series to decide

Dangerous Minds, movie: :thumbsdow :thumbsdow :thumbsdow , series: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I saw that movie "Popi" recently, on TCM but I never knew it was also a show! When was it on, who was in it, and what network was it on?

The Addams Family on television was likeable; the movies sucked.

Same with The Beverly Hillbillies, The Brady Bunch, McHale's Navy.....the TV shows were corny but I liked them. The movies should never have been made.

Sgt. Bilko....I never cared for Phil Silvers and I never saw the movie.

Dirty Dancing was made into a short-lived series. It was terrible! Didn't last more than a few weeks!:lol:

Same here.

Dirty Dancing, Baby Boom and 9 to 5 come to mind. :lol:

the outsiders was also turned into a series, short-lived

Two more: Ferris Bueller and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

I remember the Outsiders cause I watched it all the time. Unfortunately, one of the stars, Rodney Harvey has since gone on to be featured in those Partnership For a Drug-Free America psa's since he had a fatal overdose a few years ago.
