(bad) movie spin-offs of tv series...

[RCMerchant]

I don't know. Call me weird, but I think GILLIGAN'S ISLAND is genuis stupid!
I have seen every episode, being it played on reruns on every uhf channel when I was a kid. It was like Star Trek, Gunsmoke, and The Three Stooges.

yep, its sad lol but i know every Gilligan's Island line by heart



you could show me a random photo from season 2 or 3 I can tell you the episode lol

I've seen a crossover episode they did with The Loveboat (my wife is a huge fan of that show), but I've never seen an episode of it proper.

strange how it's probably never been shown here even once, yet another random US show like MURDER, SHE WROTE seems to have been showing repeats continuously for the last 35 years

I don't think there was ever a MURDER, SHE WROTE movie btw... and it seems like the kind of show that would have one

There's actually 4 of them, the last one in 2003.  I had no idea either, and I watched the show with my family growing up, just saw it looking the show up on wikipedia.  They're available on DVD too, though I might add they're not in the "complete series" boxset.

I keep forgetting that Angela Lansbury is still alive and well at age 94. She was quite the dish in the 1940s.

fair enough... it's possible I've watched one without knowing. I doubt they're much different from the regular episodes?

I like the early 90s episode that involves a virtual reality 3D video game she has to wander around

Well if you ever want to know any thing about Gilligan's Island all 3 seasons...
I can definitely help with info!  

If I think of anything I'll let you know.. the only trivia I can think of is there's a scene in DAZED & CONFUSED where they start talking about it, and an old Bloodhound Gand song that has lyrics about it as well

I recall seeing an episode where Gilligan has a dream he turned into a vampire!

[VenomX73]

Yup, Up at Bat - Gilligan thought he was bit by a vampire bat - but it was really a fruit bat...
then he had a nightmare lol, 1 of my favorite episodes!

I know I said cartoons don't count, but as The Harlem Globetrotters have come up, they also featured in a couple of THE NEW SCOOBY DOO MOVIES. which strictly speaking weren't 'movies'... and I believe at least some of the team voiced their own characters... if not, then this might be the most irrelevant bit of info ever.

 Dark Shadows was a fun show (real cheezy too).
Though I enjoyed HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS, the 2nd movie in the series-NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS was pretty much a stinker.
