TV shows ripped off from movies

Shortly after the Look Who’s Talking series premiered there came a series called Baby Talk, a sitcom with the premise of a single mom and her baby whose inner dialogue is voiced by a celebrity. (Julia Duffy was the original star but was replaced after a few episodes by Mary Page “Kiss of Death” Keller, the woman brought in to assassinate quite a few bad series in the 80s and 90s.)

Baby Talk was actually an approved spinoff of Look Who’s Talking.

And I swore I watched it because April O’Neil from TMNT II was the mom, but the IMDB (and you) say otherwise.

Damn faulty memory.

Xena looks to be inspred by Red Sonja by way of The Bride Wore White and a little Supercop (Note: the Supercop refered to was Michelle Yeoh’s character, NOT Jackie Chan)

Also I may be imagining it, but wasn’t there at least one “chop suey western” predating Kung Fu?

Red Sun predated it by a year; it was a Charles Bronson western featuring a Japanese samurai.
