OK. there's already a thread dealing with TV shows based on hit movies. So, how about TV shows that inspired movies?
Granted, those movies probably were never "hits", but still.
I thought of this idea this morning while watching reruns of McHALE'S NAVY. Yeah, I know the 1st movie based on it was actually a movie length film that really was a two hour TV episode with the TV cast also in the movie. But years later, Tom Arnold gave it a try in '97 in a film VERY loosely based on the TV show. Ernest Borgnine did have a small role in it anyway.
Then there was that THE FLINTSTONES movie of 1994.
I guess one criteria for this thread are movies based on TV shows that don't really include the entire cast from the TV show and make the movie one extended television episode.
The ADDAMS FAMILY movies from the '90's met this criteria splendidly.
