Well, if you want to talk a bit about what might make a great TV series...
Remember what a POS the original "Buffy" Movie was, yet it turned into seven kick butt seasons as a television series? Well, I think there's a couple of other "iffy" movies out there that would make great TV series, if they were given the same treatment.
First, "The Final Countdown"... the Nimitz is thrown back in time to just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor... only in the film, they pull the punch. The ship ends up returning to the present day just before they could alter history. If we were to take that same concept, but this time NOT PULL THE PUNCH, if think it would make an incredible "what if" series. We would watch what happens to the world if we became a nuclear power, before the outbreak of WWII. We'd watch an entirely ne historical timeline unfold.
Second, I think "They Live" would make a great TV series as well. A hard, gritty resistance to tyranny series. We follow a small group of fighters who find out how the Earth is under control of the aliens, and have to strike back against the hidden occupation. The original movie was filled with all sorts of cute ideas... little clues to the fact that the aliens are already here, but which we "tune out" just because we are all under a mind altering transmission of theirs. It could be a combination action/adventure, and social satire.
But, that's just me.
