Weekend Discussion Thread: The Movies as Pilots

Alert reader Zee has a good one:

Here’s my suggestion for a discussion topic: A handful of the experiments were TV show pilots. But what if… wait for it… they all were? What MST3K movie do you think would make the best TV show? What kind of show would it be? Live action or animated? What would you change about the movie to modify it for the serialized storytelling format?

I’m going to pick “The Slime People.” Every week Tom Gregory gets into a new scrape with the help of Prof. Galbraith and Tom’s girlfriend Lisa. Wacky complications ensue when Bonnie gets kidnapped every week and their wacky neighbor Norman “The Goat Man” Tolliver adds to the fun!

What’s your choice?

(Please keep those suggestions coming!)

    I would also have to back Pumaman the TV show just to hear the theme song “PumaMan! He flies like a morron!” I would tune in every week for that reason alone. :pig:

    As always, my answer involves “Werewolf” done like the 70s “Incredible Hulk” series. Paul and Natalie would be on the run from Yuri, whose hair changes every episode. Joining them are Sam the Keeper as the comic relief. A random bystander shows up in each fight to kick Paul’s ass.

    Once Upon A Honeymoon, The Series: A woman takes angeldust and imagines her house being magically redecorated in a different way every week! Will she and her husband ever have sex? And should we get a gay man for our roof?
