TV series that were unofficial adaptations of feature films

For example, it has often been said that Hunter with Fred Dryer is pretty much, the closest thing to a TV adaptation of the Dirty Harry franchise with Clint Eastwood.

Also, Parker Lewis Can't Lose is generally considered an "unofficial" adaptation of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Ironically, it's usually the preferable show over the "official" Ferris Bueller TV adaptation from that same year.

The short-lived TV series Automan is basically how one could imagine the movie Tron on a TV budget. Another short-lived, early '80s ABC TV show, Tales from the Golden Monkey has often been been accused of taking "heavy inspiration" from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
