I agree that Hollywood tends to put out more crap than a Moose on ExLax ... but there were some old Brit movies just after WWll ... that were as bad as or worse than what Hollywood does .... Above Us the Clouds (or something like that), Cockellshell Heroes, Battle of the River Plate etc. Some things that were good on TV, just don't make it on the big screen .... Trailer Park Boys is great as a half hour show, but the movie version sucked ... In general, I don't think that most shows would not do wll on the big screen ... I did like X Files (the movie), and the fugitive wasn't all that bad .... but in general, if the only reason for putting out a movie of a tv show, which has already said all there is to say about very little, is to cash in on the general lack of taste of the average movie goer, then I don't want to see it. But as P T Barnum said: No one ever went broke by understimating peoples' taste."
