Good Movies that became good TV shows
- Thread starter Smittian
- Start date
"Alice" - based (loosely) on "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" - CBS
"Alien Nation" - based upon the movie, one of Fox's first original drama series - Fox. IMO the series was better than the movie.

Private Benjamin which starred Goldie Hawn in the movie and Lorna Patterson in the TV version and also brought back Eilleen Brennan and Hal Williams from the movie to play their characters on the TV version. The TV show was very good,and should have lasted longer than the 3 seasons it lasted on CBS(spring 1981,1981-1983)
Harper Valley PTA is another movie that I liked which starred Barbara Eden. Last week,I got and watched the DVD of it and it was hilarious as was the TV show which also starred Barbara Eden. Shame that that show only lasted 2 seasons on NBC. It deserved much better.
Of course,M*A*S*H is definitely at the top of my list as well.
