I think it would be odd to see them anywhere else except in the apartment or in Ferly's??( that was his name right?) place. Did they go anywhere else? I can't remember

I agree, this is a bad idea. I mean Dukes of Hazard did so well at the box office right?

Those movie execs must be smoking something good.

Les Mooves is an idiot for canceling one of the best shows on TV in the last few years. TV isn't that much better.

I think it will do well. It was a popular show and those two are so famous and popular that people will want to see it, at least out of curiosity.

Generally it takes a good, intelligently scripted and critically acclaimed movie to spawn an American TV series. For an American TV series to spawn a movie, however, it can be all those things (Star Trek, Mission Impossible, others) but what it must have been is (a) popular in its day (and frequently lowest-common-denominator popular), (b) perceived as having attained some degree of cultural icon status, and (c) curious or unusual. Examples: Addams Family, Flintstones, Beverly Hillbillies, Brady Bunch.

TV shows that I didn't think had achieved such status are Starsky & Hutch (never saw it, but had heard of it) and most definitely Three's Company. With Addams Family, Flintstones, Beverly Hillbillies & Brady Bunch, there were memorable characters, well-known catchphrases, and clever, instantly recognisable theme tunes. What does Three's Company have? Just the characters, none of them particularly funny or interesting. Oh yeah, that and one of history's most embarrassing, nauseating, airport-lounge-singer rejects of a theme tune.

Should be a made-for-TV movie or not made at all. With the Starsky & Hutch movie, America was scraping the bottom of its cultural barrel. With Three's Company, it's climbed into the barrel to wallow in its own decay.

Family Ties - the movie
Silver Spoon - the movie
Punky Brewster - the movie

There are tons of old crappy shows that can be made into movies by producers/writers with no creative juice left.
