I would like to see the Square Pegs class Reunion movie. This would be seriously twisted, could be very funny. At Least one of the Geeks would have to be working for Microsoft. Does anyone else remember this show, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tracy Nelson & Jami Gertz before they were known & many others that still aren’t known. ---

He enjoys being a curmudgeon technically 😛 😉 and yes; he really likes the green stuff. He has never had that big massive moneymaker, where now he just writes for the love of it. ---

> [@ExtraKun](#): > > Survivor. > > No, seriously, this is not a “reality-show-goes-on-a-big-screen” thingy. Rather, it has a predefined script which distills all the fine moments and the cliche things which happens throughout. Like the tough-talking, criticising people are going to get eliminated first and all that things. Ever seen [Series 7](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251031/) ---

I suspect he didn’t like the added gun-store scene of the episode **Soldier** How about his scripts for **Burke’s Law** and **The Man from U.N.C.L.E.**? I’ve never heard complaints about those. Ellison came to the University of Rochester to defend the adaptation of **A Boy and his Dog**. He didn’t do the screeplay (IIRC), but it was his story being adapted. ---

How about **The Rockford Files**? James Garner could be the dad – hey, he did that with **Maverick** , it’d work again. But who would be Rockford? Hmmm… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tv-shows-youd-like-to-see-become-movies/316860.md?page=2)
