Meh?

South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut was pretty excellent.

I agree with South Park. Also The Fugitive.

Serenity, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek II, IV, VI, and VII, and the ORIGINAL Transformers movie.

Those were picked from the list of TV shows turned into movies on Wikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TV_shows_made_into_films)

I hope the new "Get Smart" movie turns out well. The previews looked good. (Of course, they always do!)

Wait, 'The Untouchables' was a TV series? Then 'The Untouchables'!!!

I second The Fugitive!

I think the most enjoyable transitions to film were comedies...Naked Gun and especially The Brady Bunch movies (both of them--though I prefer the sequel).

I thought MARTY was a TV movie, not a show/series.

Cruel didn't say "series."

Edit: And actually "Marty" originally aired as part of The Goodyear Television Playhouse.

...a series.

South Park
The Brady Bunch Movie (Hilarious)
The Little Rascals
The Flintstones (Not Viva Rock Vegas)

and then the new Fraggle Rock movie coming out in 2009 is sure to be fantastic.

No no no no no!

Addams Family Values was the best TV to movie transfer. Ever.

I actually thought the Starsky & Hutch movie was pretty damned funny.
