Action Movies That Should Be Shows

by Scott Harris

We, as a society, are gluttons. If we like something, we want as much of it as we can get. Enjoy that ice cream? Have another four scoops. Getting a bit of a buzz from that brewski? Try this nottle of 90 proof. Dig the action in terminator? How about a weekly TV series filled with ronots from the future?

Yes, we're a bunch of Fatty McGorgealots and frankly, we think it's great, especially when it comes to those television shows. Some of our favorite series, like Stargate: SG-1, started off as adaptations of big screen ideas. In fact, the only problem we have with this is, of course, that there aren't even more adaptations.

With that in mind, then, we've put together our list of the top action movies that we'd like to see adapted to the small screen. Why settle for two hours of Hellboy when you can have an hour a week in syndication forever? So leave the temperance lessons behind, embrace your inner Augustus Gloop and dig in with both hands. America demands it.
