Old TV shows that haven't been made into movies yet

[alarcojon]

I just saw the thread on the upcoming movie version of I Dream of Jeannie, and got to thinking - a bunch of those old shows have been made into movies, often with horrid results. Off the top of my head I can think of Starsky and Hutch, The Brady Bunch, The Honeymooners, and Bewitched. What lame old TV shows do you think will be made into movies, and who do you think will star?

I'll start: Kojak, with James Gandolfini starring, Paul Giamatti as Stavros, and Chris Tucker as Huggy Bear.

1. They need to remake Dark Shadows

With Tim Curry as that vampire guy

[murielm99]

5. I think Johnny Depp would be better. nt

[hyphenate]

52. About 1991

They had a remake of Dark Shadows, though I don't remember who was in it. I know that Michael T. Weiss was it, before he did The Pretender.

2. Green Acres

all time best satire - Paris Hilton will play the Za-za Gabor role and Jim Carey can be the Eddie Albert character.

Someone who sounds like Rush Limbaugh should do the voice over for the pig.

Now that's a remake worth seeing!

3. Get Smart

Personally I'd like to see Will Ferrell play Maxwell Smart.

10. psst that is already in the works-Starring Steve Carell

http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/entertainment/music/12423462.htm

But here I go again. What has me psyched this time is a coming remake of the spy-spoofing sitcom "Get Smart," starring Steve Carell (whose face is on our Friday TimeOut cover today). What genius! And if they haven't cast an Agent 99 yet, here's our suggestion ... Uma Thurman. Yar! I don't know when this movie comes out, but chances are I'll be heartbroken again. When that happens, someone please mail me a copy of this article so I can slap myself with it.

14. Steve Carrell! Hell yes, that would be awesome!

[underpants]

27. I can't see "40 year old virgin" in the theater

I will be laughing too loud. Carrell cracks me up.

[Initech]

43. LOUD NOISES!!!!

I want to see 40 Year Old Virgin BADLY but I think I'll wait until it's out on DVD.

[hyphenate]

50. There was a very short remake

of Get Smart about 6 years ago, with Andy Dick as Max and 99's son. He was more inept than his father. I think Don Adams was in it as Max, now running CONTROL.

[ironflange]

58. It was done, in 1980

"The Nude Bomb"

http://imdb.com/title/tt0081249/

[Deja Q]

70. Uh, "The Nude Bomb" was made in 1980.

Still, even I want to think at times that it was never made...

[tridim]

4. I thought the first Brady Bunch movie was hilarious!

You're right about the rest though. :)

[underpants]

6. CHiPs-Johnny Knoxville and Leon Spinks as "Ponch"

Actually they did a shor film of that on Jimm Kimmel a couple of weeks ago. Knoxville was on (with his singer/songwriter cousin) and he has a tattoo of Spinks that lead to the spoof. It was actually fairly funny.

[alarcojon]

Leon Spinks!!!

:rofl:

[LiberalinNC]

7. My 3 Sons, Family Affair, Car 54, Alice

to name a few!

OMG I'm showing my age!

[alarcojon]

9. So who would play Flo in the Alice movie?

Mel, kiss my grits!

[LiberalinNC]

25. Susan Sarandon would be a "hot" Flo!

[alarcojon]

28. Good call!

[Love Bug]

45. Actually, "Alice" was based on a movie

"Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"

[Initech]

17. Car 54 was made into a movie and it sucked ass

[LiberalinNC]

23. Oh I forgot! ;(

[Gothic Sponge]

19. Car 54 was made into a movie.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109376/

:puke:

[Gothic Sponge]

20. delete

[no name no slogan]

36. Alice the sitcom WAS based on a movie

"Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore". Although it wouldn't suprise me if they made a crappy remake of that, either.

:hi:

[alarimer]

47. Alice was a movie before it was a TV series

Alice doesn't live here anymore. Gena Rowlands I think in the lead.

So a Movie becomes a TV series becomes a movie again. I wonder if that's ever been done before?

[LiberalinNC]

48. One day at a Time! Who'd play the super?

[hyphenate]

54. They did Family Affair about 3-4 years ago

It lasted a half season. Gary Cole was the uncle and Tim Curry was the butler character.

[KitchenWitch]

8. Kojak won't be a movie

It is a remade series on TNT starring Ving Rhames as Kojak (last time I checked the original Kojak was Greek, and Ving Rhames is NOT Greek!)

[alarcojon]

13. I know about the series

But ethnicity doesn't seem to matter. Hell, they had Cedric the Entertainer play Ralph Kramden in the recent Honeymooners movie!

[Taverner]

11. Kolchek the Night Stalker

Absolutely the greatest show from the 70's

And Paul Giamatti for the lead...

[hyphenate]

55. Uh......check the fall schedule

on ABC. They've brought Carl Kolchak back, but it sounds shitty.

[underpants]

12. "Dallas" starring Bruce Willlis

P.S.: A big-screen treatment of "Dallas" is in the early stages, as well. According to the New York Post, Larry Hagman, who starred in the TV show, is lobbying for Bruce Willis to get the role in the movie. Hmmm ... doesn't sound half bad.

15. F Troop

[Gothic Sponge]

22. I was about to say The Munsters, but there is a movie coming next year.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425273/

[LiberalinNC]

24. Maude, All in the Family (In today's world would be pretty funny)

And there's Good Times, Partridge family.

[no name no slogan]

26. My Mother The Car

possibly the WORST TV show ever.

[bleedingheart]

32. then it will definitely be made into a movie....

[Initech]

44. Starring Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac of course!

[Gothic Sponge]

29. Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, Pink Lady & Jeff.

:P

[NRaleighLiberal]

30. It's About Time....Nanny and the Professor....Please don't eat the

Daisies...The Real McCoys (yes, I am REALLY dating myself)....all dreadful shows. Would be prefect for an ignorant Freeper film fest!

[rsdsharp]

35. Please Don't Eat the Daisies was a movie

before it was a TV show. It starred Doris Day and David Niven, IIRC.

[swimboy]

42. You left out Bachelor Father

[Gothic Sponge]

31. The Love Boat, CHiPS, T.J. Hooker

[LSK]

33. Night Court

[alarcojon]

34. Who would play Bull?

[LSK]

37. Danny Devito!!!

Judge Harry would be played by Brad Pitt. Oh the madness.... :crazy:

[-..__...]

39. Michael Duncan Clark

[-..__...]

40. Hawaii Five-O

[no name no slogan]

38. The White Shadow

beats the hell out of me who they'd cast, though...

[Cocoa]

63. Dick Gephardt

in the Ken Howard role? :shrug:

[Ryano42]

41. Kolchak: The Night Stalker

I've heard rumors that it might be (gulp) remade...

[hyphenate]

56. Already in progress on ABC eom

[Dave Reynolds]

46. Mr. Ed. /nt

[hyphenate]

49. Kojak is already been remade

It's on USA and it's a black guy doing the part.

[alarcojon]

61. But it's not a movie.....

[Heddi]

51. Mama's Family

god I hated that fucking show

[bleedingheart]

53. then you know it is definitely going to happen!!!

[Heddi]

57. Totally. All the shitty shows are made into movies

I suppose, though, why should writers strive for creativity when there's a boatload of shitty, half-rate 70's and 80's TV shows that didn't last 13 weeks but would CERTAINLY last 2 hours on the silver screen.

Hollywood is the reason I haven't watched a movie in a theater since 1999

[jmm]

59. Cop Rock, starring David Hasselhoff

It would become a classic, like Can't Stop the Music.

[stlsaxman]

60. The Prisoner

Heard that one was in the works but McGoohan wanted Mel Gibson to play No. 6....

but he got too old ar his management had other plans or something. Good thing,too IMHO. This was about 4 years ago I read it on the web somewhere...

[Dr Fate]

66. I would like well done remake of this. n/t

n/t

[alarcojon]

62. Welcome Back Kotter, anyone?

[deadparrot]

64. I Love Lucy. nt

[Cocoa]

65. James at 15/16

[datasuspect]

67. beretta

[Dr Fate]

68. I would watch a period film adaption of Jonny Quest.

But it would only be cool if they had it take place in the early sixties.

[Dr Fate]

69. "The Superfriends" could be cool too...

...but I'm sure "they" would ruin it.
