Only saw end of the show, so was looking over the list posted on AFI’s site (http://www.afi.com/tv/handv.asp). It got me thinking about all the juicy movies that could’ve been made–
“Silence of the Mockingbirds”: Atticus Finch defends a deranged psychiatrist accused of eating his victims.
“Indiana Jones and the Motel of Doom”
“Ozzablanca”: renegade American bartender helps Dorothy return to Kansas
“Darksider”: James Bond blows up the Death Star
“It’s a Wonderful Exorcism”
Further down the list you have Woodward and Bernstein exposing the Martian cover-up, Marge Gunderson saving Minnesota from Dracula, and Lassie taking on Cruella de Vil.
Any other favorites?
