riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, and Buffy and Stargate are CLEAR examples of that

If anything, movie spin-offs turn out to be ten times better than the movie itself.

Because you can hardly ever get the same people, and the budget isn't ever as good, so it comes off as low par. It's like, they mean well, the people who make the tv shows are like the fans, they want to do something cool with something that they liked, take The Crow: Stairway To Heaven. Some of it was good, but it's not nearly as amazing as The Crow itself. And even if Brandon wasn't dead, they probably wouldn't have been able to get him to do the show anyways.

Oh, I have something to add, that goes against everything I said: Clerks The Animated series. the show was short lived, but great, had a better budget than the movie (har har) and all the actors from the movie did their parts as well as a few others, like Alec Baldwin. That show was great.....The people who run ABC should be sodimized by barricudas.

Ooh, and I add Tremors to my list. I know, I know, not an A-class movie series to begin with, and the series is just as corny, but it was always meant as a spoof, so it works!
