Indeed x2.
If John Kerry would run for Thurston Howell, I could see myself voting for him.

To me, it's because of the different nature of the two media.
TV shows rely, more or less, on a viewer's awareness of past episodes. It's the build-up and continuity of the ongoing story that makes it work, or not. That medium and story-telling usually doesn't translate well to a movie. Instead, the movie feels like a stretched-out TV episode, or maybe two.
It isn't a complete, self-contained story like a good movies is.
There are exceptions, of course, but that's what most TV-to-movie shows feel like to me.

First of all...What the bloody blue blazes are they thinking?????
Secondly...Morena Baccarin as Mary Ann? What the hell are YOU thinking? She’s “ The Movie Star”!
Your casting instincts are pretty good, with the exception of Soros or Spitzer as Thurston Howell, III, the millionare. They’re not nearly as “Locust Valley Lockjaw” pretentious-sounding as they’d need to be. Soros sounds flat out foreign, Spitzer sounds like a moderately educated thug.
How about “Ahoy Polloi” John Kerry, with “Terayza” playing Lovey. Husband and wife in life and on screen. It’d be a hoot. She’d need a boatload of gin-soaked raisins to stay sweet enough for the duration of filming, though.
I’ve seen that movie, recently. LOL
Rod Zombie is just a touch, a teeny tiny touch, predictable.

I consider The Addams Family (1991) and it's sequel (1993), The Fugitive, Get Smart (2008), Maverick, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, The Naked Gun (based on the TV series Police Squad!), South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Star Trek (2009), Transformers (2007), and The Twilight Zone: The Movie to all be good, solidly entertaining films.
I would rank the The Brady Bunch Movie, Popeye (1980), Dragnet (1987), The Flintstones (1995) and its sequel, George of the Jungle, and The Simpsons Movie as guilty pleasures. In the many cases it was because the big-screen actor captured the TV series character spot-on, even if the script sucked.
And Bewitched was such a great TV show, it was a crime the way the movie version gave us a lifeless, faux Bewitched.
I'm suprised they haven't made a live-action Jetsons movie to go along with the live-action Flintstones yet. Gilligan's Island is probably going to make a pretty campy, intentionally stupid film, but if it's done the right way it could at least be entertaining like it's closely related cousin The Brady Bunch. As a favorite cult TV series that everyone knows, at least it makes more sense to adapt it to the big screen than the "what were thinking?" efforts to put stuff Lost In Space and Sgt. Bilko on the big screen.
and this thread has what to do with the mission of FR?
Bueller? hello, anyone? LOL
(Not that I hated the show or anything, but if we'd had as many channels then as we do now, how many people would have watched it?)
PC Version no doubt:
Professor - white gay man
Skipper - white pervert man
Gilligan - obama look-a-like bi-sexual (half black/white)
Marianne - hispanic slut
Ginger - redhead virgin tease
Mr Howl - white capitalist closet fag
Mrs Howl - white ice queen
No thanks, I like the original shows.
just have to make sure there plenty of locals for horseface to shoot in the back as well...
always figured the country chick would beat ms high societys azz...
and of course, someone will have to be "gay".
