Ah, television... it has done so much good... and yet so many crappy movies have come out of it... oh well... here's hoping the Bewitched movie is good.
Also, I did not include cartoons that spawned immediate movies, such as the Rugrats or Pokemon. Also, I did not include movies spawned from comic books which did have TV shows, such as Batman, or Josie and the Pussycats.
I kinda liked The Addams Family movie (the first one, anyway). Otherwise, I'm totally with you on your categorizin'.
And are they really coming out with a movie of The Greatest American Hero? Yikes.
