TV shows made into movies - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 10-17-2003, 10:14 PM

I was just thinking about how many old TV shows have been made into movies. (some good, some not so good) I read today that they are going to make a Bewitched movie!! Will Ferrell is going to play Darren and Nicole Kidman will be Samantha. It doesn't seem like a role Nicole Kidman would do but I guess she would. I don't know when it's coming out though. Probably 2005 or 2006. I'm just curious to know what other TV shows you think should be made into movies? I think they should make a Gilligan's Island movie. Clay Aiken would be the PERFECT Gilligan IMO, but I don't know if he has any acting experience. I know know who would be the rest of the castaways.

NONE!!! Something like SWAT is the rare exception where it's okay, but for the most part, I think movies inspired by tv series are no good because it just shows Hollywood's laziness in coming up with fresh story ideas. They already know they'll have a built-in audience from fans of the series, so to me it's kind of lame when they take the easy way out. Did we really need a Charlie's Angels movie? Do we really need Bewitched or Gilligan's Island? They should let people hold on to their cherished memories of their old favorite tv shows without messing with some crappy new movie.

Eh, I don't think they should keep making tv shows into movies - even though there've been a few good ones.

Starsky and Hutch will also be hitting theaters.

Isn't there plans for a film versions of "21 Jump Street," and "The A-Team" for movies?

Yes.

I grew up with both of them, and now they're going to be movies.

Dallas is suppose to be made into a movie.

I have yet to see a movie from a TV show that came anywhere near as good as the original show - Addams Family may be the one exception.

Leave it to Beaver
Beverly Hillbillies
The Brady Bunch
Dennis the Menace

Some sitcoms would lend themselves to a good movie - I can see Gilligan's Island working - it has a pretty good movie setup, some shows I just can't picture. I don't think we'll ever see a movie made of Three's Company or Growing Pains

mr roper just remind me of The Dukes of Hazzard and possibly The Courtship of Eddie's Father. No comment.

Courtship of Eddie's Father started out with a movie - seems unlikely they'd make a movie based on a tv show based on a movie

I know, but it still wouldn't surprise me if they did it.
