What 70's- 80's TV show should be made into a movie next?
And who would play the lead roles if you were casting?

They have done Charlie's Angels, Starsky and Hutch, and.........

I would like to see CHiPs with Fez from 70's show as Ponch and Sean William Scott (American Pie- Stiffler) as John Baker.

Or the A-team

8. Anything where the ycan replace anything remotely intellectual with
excess gore, sex, raunchiness, swearing, and hyper-maudlin drama.

Yeah, "The A-Team" would be a good one. It was a borderline cartoon that tugged at peoples' emotions rather than gray matter to begin with...

9. How about the 90s' hits 'Hermans Head' or 'True Colors'?
I loved the originals; and to remake them would get them released onto DVD...

15. That would be VERY cool. But you just know
that they'll have Hugh Grant play Rik. The ensuing rampage would be such a killjoy.
