slothrop Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 With the making of Dukes of Hazzard and with Dallas and Magnam PI being made into movies, it got me thinking - what shows from the 1980's should be made into a movie? Here are the ones I thought of: - A-Team - the one with the fancy helicopter with Lorne Green (can't remember the name) - Knight Rider Any others? (it was a bad era for TV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper13 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I just read the other day that they are remaking "Welcome Back Kotter". It will star Ice Cube as Mr. Kotter and is set in South Central LA. No joke. Should be out this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Any others? (it was a bad era for TV) Unfortunately it was a better era than anything in the recent past. And the remake into a movie I'd like to see is Cheers...original cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB27 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 My brother works out in LA in the "business", and I keep telling him to get the rights to the 6 million dollar man. With todays special effects, that could be a great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBills Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I had a lecture a few months ago with the guy currently assigned to write the A-Team movie. It is coming soon. A big 120 million dollar budget with a big cast. 50 Cent turned down the role of BA (thank god). The fact that he was offered the role terrified me though.
