The Simpsons Movie

Bewitched?!? Please tell me you're kidding!


Alex's list is much better, though The Addams Family was not based on a TV show (but rather, was based on material which also inspired a TV show)

I concur with about half of his list as to movies I thought were good, but none of them met the Ghoulish Delight standard of television trancendence, as far as I'm concerned.

(Well, perhaps Wrath of Khan ... but that was the second film ... not fair comparing it to the first Simpsons movie).



Ah well, it was nice to see a list of arguably decent TV-to-movie adaptations. I put The Simpsons Movie squarely on that list. To me, it was a whole lot better than "whew, didn't suck." I liked it.

Like I said, I was on an airplane. And as airplane movies go, I was sufficiently entertained. I'm sure I wouldn't have had the same opinion below 10,000 feet.

Well... Sort of. The Movie used the names and most of the relationships from the TV show. (The TV Uncle Fester was Morticia’s Uncle – Fester Frump - not Gomez’s brother.) In the original cartoons, none of the characters had names, and the relationships were only implied.
