There was a theatrical Power Rangers movie that came out in the summer of 1995, and there was a live-action Ninja Turtles series that aired on Fox's kids lineup in the last years they did Saturday morning programming.
 
A pilot has been made for a Beverly Hills Cop series featuring Axel Foley's son, Aaron. Eddie Murphy will reprise his character as a supporting roll. CBS, who ordered the pilot, has stated they will not be picking up the series, but Sony feels they can sell it elsewhere.
 
not a good idea

I don't want to see any more TV series made into theatrical movies.
I see a lot of movies on the big screen. In the theater, I don't have a problem with screaming small children, adults who don't shut up or people who won't turn off their phones, because I go on weeknights, or second-run theaters, or arthouse theaters.
About a decade ago I made the decision to not see movies in the following categories: remakes, sequels, based on comic books or based on TV series. If Hollywood can't come up with something original, I'm not interested, and most certainly am not going to give the moviemakers my money.
As a result, I seldom see movies in July. That is the month when 90 percent of the movies fit one of the categories. In the case of superhero movies, some of them fit ALL FOUR categories.
I seldom watch "rebooted" TV series either. There seems to be a theory that "updated" means "edgier" (translation: depressing with unlikeable characters) and/or uninteresting storylines that never end and/or better special effects and/or contemporary clothing and hairstyles because you don't like the ones from the past.

Either that, or they completely change the movie into something that doesn't come close to the original. The two shows in this category that immediately come to mind are "Mission Impossible" and "Dark Shadows." When the first MI movie came out, I recall reading that Greg Morris was so aggravated by watching it, he walked out of the premiere before the film had even ended. With DS, they turned it into a joke, instead of focusing on turning it into an actual horror film.
 
...although it only lasted for 13 episodes on TV, Paper Moon does have a rather unique distinction: the lead female role on it, Addie Pray, was played by Oscar winners in both the theatrical movie (Tatum O'Neal) and TV (Jodie Foster). I don't think any other movie-to-TV role can boast the same distinction...
 
I paid a dollar to see the "Beverly Hillbillies" movie. I got ripped off big time.

If they had paid ME a dollar, I'd still have been ripped off.

A few movies worked, because of a gimick like the "Brady Bunch" movies, I think if they came from books they might also work. Like Perry Mason was a series of books, oddly enough Perry Mason wasn't as upstanding as on the TV show.

A real odd one off topic was Mr Belvedere. Oh my word that Mr Belvedere in the book was NOTHING like the TV or Movie Mr Belvedere. He was a total jerk.
