If they did this, won't it ruin the films in a sense? I mean, the Ewok Adventure was not exactly in the same vein as the films and took away from them. Of course some movies to TV shows have done well, such as What's Happening(Coolie High), Fame and MASH, but most TV series from films have not only been scaled down, but they have often sucked with very short lives.
One series that comes to mind that failed to capture the whole feel and 'rawness' of it's original films was the little known Shaft TV show. That sucked. It was scaled down from the R ratings of the films. The only good part was that they had a show that took place in Connecticut. There was also, Private Benjamin, Stripes, that film with Alicia Silverstone and a whole lot of others that never made it because people want the feel of the film. It is harder to capture that feel on a lower budget.
