5 movies that should have been TV Shows

We've seen it happen all the time, where movies were surpassed by the TV shows which were based off of them. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Highlander and Stargate. Their have even been some that were just as good as the films. (The Sarah Conner Chronicles and Tremors) But what movies out already would have been better as a TV show? Let's take a look:

 How awesome would it have been to watch 7 seasons of Harry Potter grow up at Hogwarts?! Think of how much more material from the books could've been covered?! It would seem like a whole new series! They really should consider this. Especially J.K. Rowling if she even wants to make another billion dollars again. This would be great. The films were fine, but seemed rushed for time since the movie wasn't long enough to fit everything from the books. This is a show that could be done right and with mediocre CGI be a very affordable show to make.

 As most of you know, I hated the Lord of the Rings movies. Hollywood butchered these timeless classics. But the story could be retold in a TV series! Starting with it's first season "The Hobbit" could kick off the next 3 seasons that would follow going into the next 3 books. How awesome would it be to meet Tom Bombadil? I think a TV show would be perfect and I know Tolkien fans would eat the story up all over again.

 The Narnia movie franchise seems to be dead. Hooray. They really screwed it up anyway. I'm glad it's gone. Now it's time to move the story line to TV and let it REALLY shine! 7 seasons, 7 books. Just like that. They wouldn't even have to be full seasons either. I think 12/13 one hour episodes is good enough to cover the story and how great would it be to see "The Magician's Nephew" "A Horse and His Boy" and "The Last Battle" told on the small screen?! Even a good version of the "Silver Chair" would peek my interest. Whoever owns the rights to this should seriously think about moving the series in this direction. This could be a gold mine.

John Carpenter's Vampires wasn't that good a movie at all but the premise was interesting. Here we have a group of vampire hunters on the prowl taking down blood-sucking baddies where ever they go. Why wasn't this turned into a TV Show? I think it would have been just as good as the Buffy series became (if not better) Though the time has past for this to become a TV Show, I think someone should rip it off and make a totally awesome story about this too. I'd watch it. 

Finally there's Star Wars. A few years back George Doofus told us he planned to have a live-action TV show about Star Wars but last year it was determined the show would be too expensive and not worth making at this time. Which prompts the question from me: TOO EXPENSIVE?! George! You're sitting on billions of dollars on movie sales alone not too mention all the merchandising you got! Surely there's room in those deep pockets of yours to spend a few bucks on a nice show? Think of all the billions more you could make off it?!

Rumors had the series dated around the time of Darth Vader before Episode 4 but an even better idea would be to take the story line from an old West End Games book titled "The Darkstyder Campaign" about a group of Rebels (5 years after "Jedi") who go after a renegade Moff in the outer reaches of space known as the Kathol Sector. They're cut off from the universe as they chase him into the unknown, encounter new alien species and investigate any mysterious Darkstryder technology they find. This series would be a HUGE hit and with the entire campaign already written out by WEG this show really writes itself on story lines!

I've always thought this would make an excellent series and think it has potential to blow away anything the movies have already made. I doubt it would happen however, seeing that Lucas is a jackass who only cares for himself, but one can wish, right?
