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"

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:

, series:

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!

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

-blue jean baby- · 02-11-2004, 07:09 PM

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

vashti1999 · 02-11-2004, 10:12 PM

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.
