What recent movies would make the best TV sitcoms?

WrongWay · 04-15-2005, 11:31 PM

For me the number one answer right now is Secondhand Lions. I remember thinking after the movie ended that I would of loved to of seen that kid grow up with his two old uncles. I think this would of made a great 30-minute TV comedy series.

I was also very surprised that no network ever took a stab at The Lord of the Rings. I know, Hobits on TV may seem stupid, but it has worked before. Beauty and the Beast, Dinosaurs, Alf, and a couple of other Sci-Fi spins.

Schindler's List

The Elephant Man.

I think a show detailing his experiences trying to be a successful Broadway actor while working for a taxicab company would have been hilarious. Or, you could always have him living in a large apartment in the Upper East Side and have him adopt two African American kids. Pretty much writes itself at that point.

Requiem for A Dream obviously.

Starsky and Hutch

Supertroopers, although it would have to run on Comedy Central.

Momento - they can just repeat the same episode over and over

Shaun of the Dead

The Office is Britsh humor. Office Space is Mike Judge Humor. Big difference.

What about I Heart Huckabees?

Agreed.

I also think The Incredibles would work very well as a TV cartoon series. (And I don't rule it out happening either. Disney seems to like to turn a lot of their animated movies into TV cartoons. Usually not the CG ones, though)

Napolean Dynamite would make a good show too.
