would you like to see made into a film. How would it be made? Who'd be making it and in it?

First I'd like to say there were rumors of

Six Million Dollar Man- Chris Rock, Farrelly Bros. I'm not kidding.
Greatest American Hero- Adam Sandler, makers of Billy Madison.
The Man From UNCLE- Steven Speilberg producing.
Green Hornet- Jet Li involved as Kato.

Personally, I'd like...

Magnum P.I.- Same cast, Wolfgang Peterson written by Tom Clancy.

Jonny Quest- Anybody but Haley Joel Osment! Robert Rodriguez.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker- Kevin Spacey. David Fincher or Robert Zemeckis who directed an episode.

Brisco County Jr.- Bruce Campbell & Julius Carey. Sam Raimi. Add more horror.

A long time ago, I heard a rumor about Rob Reiner directing a Get Smart movie, possibly starring Tom Hanks. I suppose the idea had potential, but not with Hanks. You'd need someone like Dana Carvey. Needless to say, it would have to be cleverly written and take itself seriously. Self-depreciative humor is an insult to the creators.

I'd really love to see a live action Green Hornet movie starring Jet Li and Ray Park. A couple more would include a new animated movie for C.O.P.S. (the cartoon series), an animated Lone Ranger movie and a new Creature from the Black Lagoon movie.

Hey, I like that idea for Dana Carvey as Maxwell Smart! He could do not only the personality, but the voice as well! And now, for the rest of the cast (as proposed by me:)

Agent 99: Jennifer Love Hewitt, despite her total lack of acting ability. (Dodges tomatos)) She has sort of the same "come hither" look. Of course, Barbara Feldon always claimed hers was due to nearsightedness.

The Chief: Lane Smith. (I know, another straitman. But hey, that's how it was on the show!)

Hymie the Robot: Okay, I'm sort of split on this one. I'd say either Tom Hanks or David Schwimmer would be a very good choice. Besides Max, Hymie always got the good lines.

Agent 44: Tim Allen

Well? What do y'all think?

While it isn't really old, I've always kind of wanted to see "The Dukes of Hazzard" made into a movie.

Space 1999 was a TV series that was superior in many ways to the original Star Trek series. I would love to see them do a next generation themed movie on Space 1999.

Ah, but they would have to call it "Space 2099"! 1999 is long gone and so far we haven't made that far of an advance in tech.

I'd like that, but it's really not old enough. Plus, I'm afraid that Hollywood might try to take away from the "innocence" of the original series.

I would like to see All in the Family or any of the spin-offs of it as a movie (Maude,and The Jefferson).

Hey, Penguin, how about that Dukes TV movie a few years ago? That was pretty cool!

Yes I very much enjoyed both of those. The first one was better though.

I'm sorry, but Daisy needs to retire the shorts to a new generation.

I want to see an updated I Dream Of Jeanie although I'm sure it would suck, so i rather not cast it.

I heard on the news tonight that The Honeymooners is going to be getting the big screen treatment by Paramount.

NOOOOOOOOOO! They can't do that! The original episodes of the Honeymooners are TV's best!
