These are the top 20 TV shows that became movies.
| 1. | South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut - The only way the TV show could get better was to legally allow them to curse, swear, kill and have sex with the devil. |
| 2. | Mission Impossible - Add Tom Cruise to this classic TV series and you have box office gold. |
| 3. | Star Trek - One the greatest TV shows of all time turned into some of the greatest sci-fi movies ever. |
| 4. | The Untouchables - Before Costner, Connery, DeNiro and Garcia there was Robert Stack's TV series. |
| 5. | Naked Gun - Based on the TV show Police Squad. |
| 6. | Office Space - This was based on some SNL shorts. |
| 7. | The Fugitive - This Harrison Ford starring best picture nominated film was based on a 60s TV show. |
| 8. | Wayne's World - Yet another SNL skit turned movie. Schwing! |
| 9. | Beavis and Butthead: Do America - The funniest MTV movies ever! Hands-down. Voices include Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Cloris Leachman, Robert Stack and David Letterman. |
| 10. | Blues Brothers - One of many comedies based on a Saturday Night Live skit, this one following a blues band's "mission from god." |
| 11. | Twilight Zone - A movie version of the TV show (basically four episodes of the TV show). |
| 12. | Transformers - Both the cartoon 80s version and the new film set to release in 07. |
| 13. | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - A TV show based on comic books, these films are a great mix of martial arts, comedy, drama and even romance. The film set to release in 07 won't dissapoint either. |
| 14. | Charlie's Angels - Come on. Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore kicking butt just like Farrah, Kate and Jaclyn used to. |
| 15. | The Brady Bunch - A rarity for a TV sitcom to make it as a movie but this one definitely did. |
| 16. | Spongebob Squarepants - It appears to be just a kids-flick, however it has value to adults as well. |
| 17. | Serenity - Not the hit the die-hards expected, but still the best sci-fi movie based on a TV show besides Star Trek. |
| 18. | Addam's Family - A 60s TV show based on a comic strip. Who could forget Uncle Fester, It and Thing? |
| 19. | Starsky and Hutch - A lot of hype and big name actors helped this film become a major success following it's successful TV counterpart. |
| 20. | Mystery Science Theater - Honestly, just to round out the list. |
