going from movies to television used to
seem like a downgrade now it’s all the
rage in trouble again navoo welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 TV shows
based on a movie for the Stargate for
this list we’re taking a look at TV
shows that captured all the best aspects
of their film predecessors while also
creating something fresh and innovative
for the small screen lying Terminator
bitch you’re building Skynet number 10
Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles
John now
now although Terminator 2 had wrapped up
virtually every loose end the Connor
story was far from over
definitely following the events of t2
the Sarah Connor Chronicles was the kind
of show you had to watch from day one if
you had any hope of getting it thanks to
its complex time-traveling narrative I
don’t know anything anymore
while the series was short-lived it
still offered ideas and character
development superior to that of a
certain sequel by McGee
at the show’s heart was a meaningful
dynamic between Lena Headey Sara mom how
many times have I told you it’s freaky
when you do that I’m sorry
Thomas deckers John I’m not hacking mom
god I know the rules they’re like
written on the inside of my eyeballs all
right and Summer Glau is Cameron smooth
maybe I’ll see you later
reminding us that this franchise is
about much more than action we lose
everybody we love she said that number
nine La Femme Nikita hi I’m the key down
La Femme Nikita took the concept of luc
besson 1990 thriller and tweaked it with
one small yet game-changing alteration
shoot him now now Nikita now in the film
Nikita is a convicted cop killer who’s
recruited by the government to be an
assassin after they faked her death in
the show Nikita is wrongfully accused of
murder in a grave misunderstanding and
recruited
this makes for a more complicated
character arc as Nikita is forced to
transform from a helpless homeless woman
to an unstoppable weapon all while
trying to hang on to her humanity you
can understood
you can learn to fight
but there’s no weapon as powerful as
your femininity number eight The Odd
Couple right in here after the cinematic
adaptation of Neil Simon’s play The Odd
Couple was essentially a feature-length
sitcom elevated by superb comedic
writing and acting oh really
Felix really really I know I know I know
he made sense for the franchise to
branch out to TV to produce a show about
two divorced men
scruffy Oscar and the neurotic Felix
trying to coexist in the same apartment
they’re crazy about us
they think we’re big shots in the
building but who could replace the
unmatched mismatched pair of Jack Lemmon
and Walter Matthau
listen you want to talk to me buddy put
down that spoon spoon are you dumb
ignoramus that is a ladle you did not
know that’s all ladle fortunately Tony
Randall and Jack Klugman were more than
up to the task
coffee calm empty full hot I don’t get
it I want a hot cup of coffee in the
spirit of previous incarnations this
show produced great a comedy based on
chemistry and situation never stuff
Ernie’s ridiculous number seven star
wars the clone wars your how much remove
them your faces I wish to see
after getting off to a rocky start with
the pend 2008 animated feature the Clone
Wars saga got on the right track with
this TV continuation a feminine sounds
gave away their possession taking place
between episode 2 and episode 3 lock-on
tomar to the Clone Wars wasn’t without
some of the more annoying elements of
the prequel trilogy hello
Jar Jar Binks meesa no one needs to be
big help with the negotiations but like
the previous 2d animated series the
Clone Wars ultimately proved to be a
worthy entry in the Star Wars saga with
sharp cgi impressive action deep
philosophies Yoda kicking ass
and the return of Darth Maul I must have
revenge
number six Hannibal
mr. graham like all other screen
adaptations in the Hannibal Lecter
franchise Hannibal is based on
characters developed by novelist
Thomas Harris but unlike Ridley Scott’s
2001 film Hannibal for example the show
is never grotesque for the sake of being
grotesque he doesn’t want these girls to
suffer he kills them quickly hey his
thinking with mercy well it’s Network
home might seem limiting Brian fuller
and company inject every shot with a
haunting atmosphere coated in dark
cinematography are you reconstructing
his fantasies what kind of problems does
he have he has a few driving the story
is a fascinating relationship between
Hugh dances emotionally unstable will
Graham and motts Mickelson who creates a
chilling hannibal lecter of his own
without ever impersonating Anthony
Hopkins immortal performance I was
hoping you and I wouldn’t have to say
goodbye nothing seen no set number 5
Friday Night Lights I think that
everybody loves football Peter Berg’s
film version of the novel Friday Night
Lights was a solid success
but he completely topped himself with
his similarly themed TV series we all
feel honored and we feel fully prepared
to represent this Beloved Community this
Friday night and every Friday night like
any true underdog the show went through
a number of tribulations like low
ratings and switching networks clear
eyes full hearts cameras in the end
however Friday Night Lights transcended
all expectations with its representation
of middle America powerful themes
concerning what it means to grow up the
impact of community and the most
powerful depiction of a TV marriage in
some time pregnant
if you assume this is merely a football
show prepare to be blindsided important
things up Paul
number four Bates Motel you’re new
what’s your name Norman Bates ever
wonder exactly what the deal was between
Norman Bates and his mother well a boy’s
best friend is his mother
well in this series we get a peek behind
the shower curtain in Bates Motel which
acts as both a prequel and a modern-day
reimagining of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho
Freddie Highmore is pitch perfect as
Norman who’s harboring a Dark Passenger
under his mild mannered exterior holy
hell mother we’re totally screwed what
are we doing we don’t know what we’re
doing
no you don’t know what we’re doing calm
down Vera Farmiga is equally outstanding
as Norma Bates a mom who loves her son
just a little too much we belong to each
other I love you Norman
your scenes together are often
uncomfortable and unsettling but the
show is just too addictive to resist
you’re the best thing that’s ever
happened to me I love you too mom
number three mash those two they’re
ruining this war for all of us the mash
franchise faced a challenge when it
transitioned from the big to small
screen as it was building on an
oscar-winning picture Henry’s got our
orders we can go home it didn’t help
that almost none of the film’s original
cast was returning no I know it’s
nothing but look how many times you get
to go to Japan with your golf cart
needless to say most TV adaptations like
this are dead on arrival goes against my
training to say take two aspirin and go
get yourself killed
mash on the other hand prospered for 11
hugely successful seasons arguably
surpassing the quality of its source
material last man standing on his feet
at the end wins the war like the movie
and the novel on which they were both
based mash recognized that even in the
darkest of times humor love and joy can
still be found
we did it again screwed up in Reverse I
keep telling you we got to give up this
preoccupation with keeping people alive
we’ll never get out of here stow us
we’re doomed maybe we should start using
rusty instruments number 2 Stargate sg-1
you do not return in 24 hours your
remote transmitter codes will be locked
out and the iris will be sealed
permanently if you weren’t a fan of
where Roland Emmerich’s original
Stargate movie took you good news
the follow-up series opened up the
universe with a variety of new worlds
that were jam-packed full of fun
characters Daniel what are you teaching
these kids try it although it came out
around the same time as other pioneering
sci-fi dramas this first of several
shows in the Stargate franchise still
stood out thanks to its memorable
settings
inventive scenarios a strong sense of
mystery and even stronger sense of
geomagnetic storm is building up should
stay long just try to overlook that hole
aliens built the pyramids thing well who
do you think the pyramids I don’t have
any idea who built them in that plane
from Atlantis or Martians perhaps before
we change the channel to our top pick
here are some honorable mentions hold on
it’s a nice tie to that syndicate of
fellows out of Fargo Gun Runners and
such
well they say never seen the proof do
you have any questions buddy do you want
to ask me anything or know much TV new
of 30 minutes of screen time bang from
last night sure the fiber analysis came
back from the lab in LA they found
animal hairs on the body from the wood
styles I gotta go quick poop Scott
you’re not gonna believe what the animal
would
it was a wolf damn it breathe don’t move
mister I can see him Daisy
fellas take agent Garrett into custody
he’s the murderer they call the
clairvoyant he’s a traitor young man how
old are you nine number one Buffy the
Vampire Slayer you’re not seeing the big
picture here I mean that gym was full of
vampire asbestos 1992’s Buffy the
Vampire Slayer was not a critical or
financial hit however writer Joss Whedon
saw the errors in his film and
reinvented the premise for television
with a multi-layered leading heroine to
many unforgettable supporting characters
to count who are you
let’s just say I’m a friend and an
assortment of imaginative storylines oh
that sounds like fun you wouldn’t expect
a TV adaptation of a movie about a
vampire slayer’ to be anything special
first of all I’m a Vampire Slayer and
secondly I’m retired hey I know why
don’t you kill him but at its best Buffy
was the most creative emotional and epic
show ever put on television making us
forget the lesser movie ever even
existed I’m done the niggas gone you can
