We've already finished the sequel part of the movie seasons as the latest installments of Pirates of the Caribbean, Spider-man, Die Hard, Ocean's Twelve and Fantastic Four have come and gone. Now it is time for the television remake portion of the season. We already witnessed Transformers and next up are Underdog and the Simpson Movie. So I thought we should look back at the ten worst television to movie remakes.

10. Charlie's Angels
I was a little bit behind on the Angels so I wasn't watching them until reruns in the early 90's but once I watched them I loved them like everybody else. So I was definitely upset when three worthless actresses were cast as Charlie's Angels, especially since none of them were especially attractive either.

9. Transformers
If you want to know my complaints with the recent Transformers movie you can check out my full review. I don't have a whole lot of faith in Hollywood but I was hopeful for this one because all was needed were giant robots and big explosions and yet they figured out a way to screw it up.

8. Masters of the Universe
Wow. Whose idea was it to make He-Man and Skeletor come to Earth? He-Man belongs on Eternia. That movie also needed less humans and more He-Man characters like Ram Man and Mekaneck. Yeah, they would've been lame, but it was lame anyway so why not go all out.

7. Lost In Space
I would like to tell you about why Lost in Space was so bad, but I can't. I don't remember what happened, it was just that boring. All I remember is that it had Joey from Friends and Claudia from Party of Five.

6. Flintstones
There are some cartoons that can be possibly made into live action movies. Transformers could've worked, G. I. Joe could work, Scooby Doo could have possibly worked. But there is no way to make a live action Flintstones that is actually good.

5. Inspector Gadget
Inspector Gadget is one of the many examples that Matthew Broderick was a one hit wonder with Ferris Bueller. Then again, I'm not sure anybody could've made Inspector Gadget good, but having Broderick play the part sure didn't help.

They might have been good ole boys, but they did a lot of harm.

I dont really agree that transformers was in the top 10 worst movies, I agree that dukes of hazard was a complete screw up and insult to the original tv show. Miami vice was nothing like the show, a total disapointment. I thought charlies angels was pretty hot of course I didnt watch much of the originals but the movies were hot. Starsky and hutch those two actors needed an a** kickin after that embarassment.

Good article. My kids like a few, but heck, they're under 10.

You had me until number one. Bill Murray is *hilarious* as Garfield. Yeah, the cat looked weird, I'll give you that. And the real actors were terrible (well, at least Jennifer Love-Hewitt was nice to look at) but no movie with as many funny lines as Bill Murray had can be ranked as the worst one.

Where is S.W.A.T HORRIBLE MOVIE from tv adaptation. I noticed the dukes of hazard but starsky and hutch is another one that simply blew in full length movie format. It is worthy of top ten consideration. And I almost forgot the Brady Bunch Movies were horrible as well.

Charlie's Angels!!! I guess you have to be a pre-teen girl or teen girl - very popular with that age group. Plus, it did make tons of money. You're right about Bewitched - it just was not right.
