There is a long history of films that strike the silver screen diving into television sets in the forms of TELEVISION shows. Some were met huge success and longevity, however most of them were virtual train wrecks. On the surface area it seems like a realistically dazzling idea: take a movie that audiences loved and extend it into a more digestible, bite-sized variation that they could view every week from the convenience of their homes. However carrying over the success of a motion picture into the tv realm seems to include a difficult and delicate science that no one seems to know the solutions to. A television series adjustment of the Blade trilogy and the recent news of a live-action Star Wars tv series coming to life near completion of this years ask us to ask whether either will be successful. Of course, success in this sense can be analyzed in a range of ways. Does it depend only on the quality of the program? Most likely not, since there have been movie-to-television cross-overs that were seriously acclaimed however were only given a couple of months to run. Does it depend solely on the appeal of the show? Not as much as one would think. So what does success in this category depend upon? Lets take a look at some TELEVISION reveals that were initially films that ran for extended periods of time, and then some that burnt out quickly to see if there is a noticeable pattern. Range Runners -- M * A * S * H *: Lots of people forget that M * A * S * H * was originally a motion picture (1970) that was met with approval in the theaters. It made its way onto tv screens in 1972 and ran all the way to 1983. -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The movie was launched in 1992 and was met with very combined results. In some way the show managed to run for seven strong years (1997-2003) as a tv series with a huge fan base. -- Stargate SG-1: Stargate was a movie released in 1994. It was consulted with combined responses, however the program fared better, ranging from 1997 all the method till now. -- Highlander: The film variation struck theaters in 1986. Audience reaction was good, however the TV series that was released in 1992 found a faithful following. It ran until 1998. -- La Femme Nikita: Nikita was a film directed by Luc Besson that was released in 1990 and received excellent responses from audiences. The tv series Look at this website had a strong following and worked on TELEVISION from 1997 to 2001. Short-Distance Losers -- My Big Fat Greek Life: Though film studios undervalued My Huge Fat Greek Weddings possibilities for success on the cinema, CBS overestimated its opportunities for similar accomplishment as a television series. This big fat disaster ran for seven episodes in 2003. -- Unaware: In 1995, Clueless succeeded in theater as a comedy-romance. Nevertheless, when the movie ended up being a TELEVISION program in 1996 it was absolutely nothing more than a vain, agonizing, and lame tv experience. The program in some way handled to stay on air up until 1999. -- Ferris Bueller: Ferris Buellers Day Off was a big hit in 1986, however the TV series just lasted one unpleasant
season in 1990. Ferris has had lots of days off since then. -- Planet of the Apes: The Charlton Heston-infused film succeeded in the theaters in 1968, however for some factor the TV variation only lasted one season in 1974. -- Uncle Dollar: Was the motion picture really that great in 1989? It was simply a basic funny that tried to teach children the concept of valuing your family. So was the TV series in 1990 really required? One season tells us no. There are countless other movie-to-TV reveals that just lasted a few months, if that. Unsafe Minds, Quick Times, and Parenthood are just three of many, numerous failures in this category. The chances protest the future Blade tv series and George Lucas live-action Star Wars TV program. Though Blade does not actually appear to be anything special, it will be interesting to see whether the vampires and monsters that brought the movie trilogy will have the ability to do the exact same on television screens. Star Wars does have a remarkably huge and devoted fan base, the likes of which no movie-to-TV series has actually had the luxury of having, and might be the tipping point for the shows prospective durability and success. However in no way will this guarantee the accomplishment of the adjustment. Neither will high caliber stories or acting. It seems that tv audiences and studios are considerably more fickle than their motion picture counterparts, so good luck to both the developers of Blade and Star Wars Lucas, both of whom will be at the complete grace of factors that are essentially unknown.
