Successful TV Shows Based On Movies? (1 Viewer)

[Ethan Riley]

Yikes; I think we exhausted this topic. Maybe we can think of shows that were made into theatrical movies later, (but only the ones that used the actual tv cast, NOT a re-cast, 20-30 years after the tv show aired). Also excluding made-for-tv reunion movies based on tv shows. So...the only ones I can think of are:

The Munsters
Get Smart
The Flintstones
Star Trek
H.R. Pufnstuf
Sex and the City
Firefly/Serenity
The X-Files

Shoot. Now I think I've exhausted THAT topic. What the hell are we going to talk about now???

Not a monster hit, but "Daktari" was a television spinoff from "Clarence, the Cross-Eyed Lion."
