What current tv shows could make future films?
If the trend of making old tv shows into films what current shows do you think we'll be seeing on the big screen in fifteen or twenty years?

The optomist in me wants to hope that in 15 years Hollywood will have gotten over their recycling TV shows into movies phase.
There's a lot of TV shows that I feel we may see as movies in the next 5 years (with the original TV casts), such as 24 and The X-Files.
But total remakes? Maybe CSI. Maybe Miami Vice. Maybe Dallas. Maybe NYPD Blue. I don't see many comedies making the jump...although goodness knows Hollywood might try to turn these into comedies.

On a more recent front, oh you know-Buffy/Angel.

24 has potential, but I think it's best suited as a TV show. The novelty of real-time would be lost in the movie because a) it's already been done, and b) the plots Jack Bauer gets into require a lot more than 2 hours of screen time to resolve.
They'll probably make it into a movie anyway, though.

To tell you the truth, I don't think that the movie studios are exactly picky in choosing their next TV shows to be adapted to film so that means that any TV show that was ever produced, has a good chance of being a movie.
