In the late 80's and early 90's movie studios must
have started to run out of good scripts as they started taking ideas from
television for several of their movies. This trend
got even worse in the late 90's and early 2000's
where over 23 movies were released that were adapted from televisions shows between
1996 and 2000. This trend has produced some good movies (The
Fugitive, Star Trek, Blue Brothers), but has also produced some of the
worst movies in Hollywood history (Coneheads, Rocky and Bullwinkle, It's Pat). There seems to
be the opinion of Hollywood executives that if people liked the TV show
they will show up for the movie even if it's not any
good.
