TV In The Cinema

Okay...TV shows on the big screen…nothing new right? Right. This was a trend started successfully by the Star Trek franchise. Reversing a trend of Big Screen to Little Screen that Hollywood thought would do well. Trek bucked the idea and showed all that it can make money reversing the process. And with that we got some…bad remakes. Now, we can easily count what made the jump from small screen to big screen well. That was Star Trek, X-Files, Firefly and…um…well…that’s it. Then we had bad remakes like, Beverly Hillbillies, Starsky and Hutch, The Avengers, Dukes of Hazzard…and several others that make me shutter to type them out. Now we have yet more coming; Dallas, Miami Vice, The Equalizer, Welcome Back Kotter and 24. Oh, my, what are they thinking? Look, us baby boomers really don’t need to have old TV on the big screen. No, we realllllly don’t. And if you are looking for a new audience in a younger generation…it just not going to happen. They are far more up to speed with entertainment than you think. Hollywood….I guess this yet another example of just how out of touch you people are with average America. Still wasting money and talent on junk entertainment. Even when you believe you are actually doing something we would like.
