My favorite episode of Planet Of The Apes is 'The Trap', where Burke and Urko are trapped underground.
Remember the animated series Return To The Planet Of The Apes ?

Also forgot Zombieland

Which hopefully never gets made, the trailer for it looked cheap and bloody awful...

FDTD is pretty decent so far, but they should move away from the film much more, because it shows the quality rift between the actors a bit too much for my taste...

I would say the daddy of them all was MASH.

There are quite a few that have done it.

I used to like Alien Nation. Good film and good TV show. (It was only cancelled as it was so expensive to produce not because it was poor, and they continued with regular TV movies for the show).

There is also Chicago Hope was a TV series of William Hurts The Doctor (where Chicago Hope had everyone but William Hurt in it). I used to watch this soley as my mother loved it and we would watch it together.

Robocop - never watched it, but do know that back in the 90s the pilot for the TV show was making the rounds claimng to be Robocop 4.

Mr and Ms Smith is one I have always wanted to track down to watch simply as I have a thing for Jordanna Brewster who is playing Angelina Jolies role in the TV show.

I never watched it, but I was shocked to find a few years back Roy Schieders okish movie Blue Thunder was made to a TV series with Police Academy's Bubba Smith and Dana Carvey from Waynes World as rival to Airwolf.

There is also Highlander, which I loved the film, but never gave the TV show a chance. But then they made the fourth film a cross over - so gave it a miss.

And also A Nightmare on Elm street TV show - which when I was young I loved, but have not seen an episode in about 20 years so may be terrible now.

Urko opened the Tesco store in Stevenage in the 70s. My friend has a signed photo from the day.

From Ron's rather explicit selfie on the "what are you listening to" thread, I imagine it would be difficult to tell Ron and Urko apart in the flesh/fur.

It's not exactly based on the film. It's an original story set within the films universe. Can't wait to see it. Watched the film again recently, and it's still as good as I remembered.

Would you watch a PREDATOR TV show or not?, also from what I have heard is FDTD the show is just splitting the film into episodes with different actors
