Re: Isn't MITM popular enough for a motion picture?
Well i was thinking about that question whilst reading the thread. It seems to me to be a very strange idea to try and make a sitcom into a film. First of all, is there any real point? I mean look at wide range of storylines they've been able to incorporate into the show just by using the normal format, with the odd two or three part episode along the way. Is there really anything to be gained artistically from trying to put out a feature film? Furthermore, like tjpeople said, it just isn't popular enough.
In answer to the question, the only shows i can think of that have had successful big screen transitions are beavis and butthead (do america) which was critically panned, and the South Park movie. Now South Park had something to gain by moving to the big screen because they werent as tied by censorship, they could dvelop an even crazier storyline, and make the show even more "offensive". MITM just doesn't need to go to the big screen, all the tools to make quality episodes of they kind they want to produce are available on the small screen.
