Movies your surprised didn't get a tv show

[deathshead2]

-I was always surprised The Mighty Ducks didn't get a live action show that had a new generation of the team. As a weekly show I think it couldv'e worked well. Back in the days of 90s Disney Channel when they're live action shows were good and not filmed like a low budget sit-com like they do now.

-The Terminater. The movie series had action, robots and time travel. Why this didn't get some kind of animated series blows my mind. Alot of action movies had a show(Rambo, Robocop had two, HighLander had 3, and Alien was even going to get one.)

A Terminator animated series would've been dumbed down like the Rambo and Robocop toons.

Remember that Rambo in his cartoon was a complete 180 degree turn in which he was nice, talkative and rarely used excessive force on thugs.

I WOULD like to see a ghostbusters tv showwith real people. i think it could be good. i would like to see new batman make them like the moives or comic books not makingfun of it like 1960s but more sersious. i think men in black tv show would be good. i would like to see teeagne mutnat ninja trurtles live action. they did make a tv show they even had four turtles the turtles one turtles was a girl. i would like to see it like the tv cartoon show or moive. i would like to see live action spider-man. they did have a show that was in 1970s you can tell it fakes. it would probbley cost lots of money too make. i just stick with the moives. i think live action X-Men could work look at hereos. it could featuerdifferent X-Men mutnats each espdieos.

I know it wouldv'e been dumb down. This thread is just to talk about big movies, that didn't get a show. As it was hugely popular back in the day to do one.

Well Terminator did get the Sarah Connor Chronicles...so that counts, right?

I always thought Star Wars was the perfect tv show material. Back when only the OT existed.

Well, Star Wars did kinda have a couple of animated series. There was Droids and Ewoks.

I would've liked to see Pamela Anderson do a live action weekly Barb Wire TV show. It would've been so much better than that V.I.P. piece of crap. Granted the movie wasn't great, but it had potensial as a TV series.

 

[KALEL114]

Pirates of the Caribbean. Now, I'm not sure I'd want one, but I'm surprised it never was made in to one.

I'm surprised certain popular Disney movies haven't been made into animates series. There was a time when you couldn't stop Disney from turning a movie into a TV series. Aladdin, Timon & Pumba, Little Mermaid, Hercules, Tarzan, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, The Emperor's New Groove/School, Lilo & Stitch.

Quite frankly, I'm shocked there's no animated series for Cars, Wall-E, or The Incredibles. An Incredibles animated series would've kicked ass, too. Hell, a TV show about the Bolt TV show within the movie (not unlike the Buzz Lightyear cartoon) practically writes itself.

Frankly an animated series set in the Terminator future sounds better to me than Terminator Salvation. Not to **** on Terminator Salvation, though... it was better than T3 IMO.

I still want my ****ing Buffy the Animated Series dammit.

And I think we can all agree that Saturday Morning Watchmen needs to go to series...[YT]YDDHHrt6l4w[/YT]
Am I right or am I right?

I should have been a bit more specific...A live action tv show of the Star Wars OT era.

There we go.

That would've gotten cancelled so fast. Not because of bad ratings (the fans will flock to anything with the Star Wars name on it, even if it's terrible), but because its budget would've been too high in those days. The original Battlestar Galactica had great ratings, but it got canned after its first year because it cost too much to make.

If they made a live action Star Wars show today, I imagine it'd be very very character based to make up for the lack of SFX action scenes (which would be few and far between).

According to George, they are. I just wanted to get it in before it's inevitable start. If they keep the Jedi out of it (or to a minimum) they could probably get by quite easily without hardcore special effects.

They're still going ahead with that live action Star Wars show they mentioned a few years ago? I assumed that got scrapped in favor of the Clone Wars series.

They've said for the past year or two they were scouting locations and writing scripts.

 

[Manic]

Scouting locations? Just use outer Vancouver or the New Zealand wilderness like every other genre show.

They just do what that one SyFy show does and greenscreen everything.

Which show is that?

 

[RetroNaz]

Apparently the show is going through the writing stages as we speak...

Sanctuary, with Amanda Tapping.

I heard they're waiting until the five year contract for The Clone Wars ends before airing it.

Good god. Lucas knows how to keep a franchise going, I'll give him that.

You know, even with as much crap as I've talked about Star Wars over this last... decade, I'd probably look forward to a live action Star Wars show. With limited SFX, there'd be a lot of pressure to create likable characters again. Lucas wouldn't write every episode himself like he did for the new trilogy, so there'd probably be a staff of talented writers on the job. Plus there's clearly no shortage stories that could be told, considering the amount of fan fiction and published novels there are out there.

I always thought that the film version of Mystery Men would have made a good weekly show, especially an animated show in the vein of Real Ghostbusters. Too bad the movie bombed and took that possibility away.

 

[Travesty]

I don't know if it's been said already, but a liva-action Back to the Future would have been badass. I know they had a cartoon, and I even watched back in the day, but it got out of hand, and it would suit live-action perfectly, and they could easily go to a new place in time every episode. Plus, Deloreans are badass!

I loved Mystery Men.
