Old TV show that should be made into a full-length movie....

Hey, they did "The Brady Bunch". There HAVE to be better options than THAT shit.

Gracie was so unique and funny.

Wasn't My Favorite Martian made into a movie?

I want to see Corsairs fighting Zekes without jet contrails in the background.

Gregory Boyington' memoirs would make a terrific movie. I read it, and although he was okay with being a consultant on the series,
no doubt due to the paycheck, he dislike the inaccuracies in the show written in for dramatic purposes.

He thought the lavishly appointed Quonset huts the TV pilots were quartered in were ridiculous. He said he slept in tents
his entire tour in the Pacific.

And of course, in real life, the pilots didn't relax during off-duty time with giggly models wearing lip gloss and 1970's-style
hairdos.

Make "BBBS" into a movie. Adam Beach as Boyington. Paul Haggis for the screenplay. Clint Eastwood or Frank Darabont to direct.

Intriguing. I could go for that! I still enjoy the re-runs of the TV series, which run on the RTV network. However, I would love to see a more-accurate, less 1970s Hollywood version

Kung Fu, UFO (The British series, NOT Project UFO!)

actually I think the first one came before the tv series.

It was similar to "The Fugitive".

Or "The Rifleman" with Chuck Connors.

Trucking has changed in many ways since the early 70's...

Tikki

I loved that show when I was a kid.

But sorry, not sure I would want to watch it now.

Although it looks like someone is considering making "Space: 2099."

While I agree with the assessment that the Brady Bunch movies were crap (I was never really a fan of that show anyway), I did feel the two Addams' Family movies were brilliant! Raúl Juliá was a great actor and perfectly cast as Gomez Addams :D

Think about it. The plot of Dances With Wolves is essentially the same set-up as F Troop (minus O'Rourke and Agarn).

Get Nathan Fillion to play Hogan.

I really want a Hogan's Heroes movie now.

Stalag 17. Even had a Sergeant Schultz.

Instead of the watered-down, star-flated, crap Mr. Cruise did.

The Cruise movies are utter shit. Appallingly awful. I have no idea why they are so popular, except that Americans prefer shit over substance.

:loveya:

I really don't like television shows translated into movies. They were...television shows for a reason.

and I can't wait for Dark Shadows. My Three Sons. Flipper.

got cancelled in its first year).

Movies made before the TV series:

The Case of the Howling Dog (1934) with Warren William as Perry Mason and Helen Trenholme as Della Street.
The Case of the Curious Bride (1935) with Warren William and Claire Dodd as Della Street. Slightly notable for the first-released American screen appearance of Errol Flynn as the corpse, who is seen alive but not speaking in a brief flashback.
The Case of the Lucky Legs (1935) with Warren William and Genevieve Tobin as Della Street.
The Case of the Velvet Claws (1936) with Warren William and Claire Dodd as Della Street Mason.
The Case of the Black Cat (1936) (from The Case Of The Caretaker's Cat) with Ricardo Cortez as Perry Mason and June Travis as Della Street.
The Case of the Stuttering Bishop (1937) with Donald Woods as Perry Mason and Ann Dvorak as Della Street.

Movies made after the TV series:

Television producers Dean Hargrove and Fred Silverman resurrected the popular Mason character in a series of TV movies for NBC beginning in 1985. ... Hargrove and Silverman were able to bring back the two then-surviving major stars, Raymond Burr and Barbara Hale (reprising their roles as Mason and Della Street, respectively) for the first telefilm, Perry Mason Returns, in which Mason, now an appellate court judge, resigns his position to successfully defend his secretary, Della, on murder charges. William Katt (Hale's son) was cast as Paul Drake, Jr. (William Hopper, who played private investigator Paul Drake in the original television series, had died years earlier; Hopper's photograph appears on Paul Drake Jr's desk.) In the later TV Movies, Perry Mason used the services of attorney Ken Malansky (portrayed by William R. Moses). Also, these movies were set in Denver rather than Mason's traditional locale of Los Angeles due to Denver's considerably lower production costs.

Kind of a live-action mix with Thunderbirds Are Go! :D

Remember Moon Zero Two ? :)

They already came close with Serenity.
