Unfortunate Predictions

Soon after the original movie Mission: Impossible came out, after I realized why Peter Graves wouldn't be caught dead in it, I started making jokes about what shows they'll turn into movies:

• The Dukes of Hazzard
• Starsky and Hutch
• Miami Vice
• Lost in Space
• Shaft
• The Mod Squad
  

Several more on my list I thought would be impervious to being brought to film. I found myself yesterday proven wrong for these (they're listed as in production):

• Get Smart
• CHiPs
• The Prisoner
• The A-Team
  

There's some that have been or are in planning for a new TV series that, with a little luck, will see a movie deal like Firefly did:

• Battle Star Galactica
• V
  

Here, I mean luck in that it'd be nice to see my list fill out. The few that are left on my list that I haven't heard about a movie deal are:

• Space: 1999
  
• Buck Rodgers
• The Greatest American Hero
• 21 Jump Street
• Cop Rock
  

I seriously doubt Space: 1999 will become a movie, but you never know. That's one of the reasons why I put it on my list.

I should have put on the bad cartoons I used to watch, because then I would have picked up Duddly Do-Right, Rocky & Bulwinkle, and Scooby Doo.

Here's to watching The Greatest American Hero movie in 2010!
