I don't know because I didn't know they existed... It's quite a quandary.

I legit didn't know it was a movie when I was younger until like the third time I saw a rerun on the episodees with Connor in them. Was very confused, thought I kept missing episodes.

National Lampoon Animal House. It was called Delta House, but had some of the same characters and actors from the movie. I was so upset when it got cancelled that teen me even wrote a letter of complaint to the network.

I'll give a more recent one. What we do in the shadows. I feel at this point that the show is more popular than the movie was.

Wait... they made a series out-of Logan's Run?

Was it a limited run?

Two come to mind.

  • Casablanca
  • Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures

Ace Ventura and Napoleon Dynamite both had cartoon series. I learned that recently.

There was a Back to the Future animated series I remember from being a kid too.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

I didn’t know about this one either.

Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice animated series as well.

Those ones I knew about! I used to watch the Beatlejuice animated series when I was a kid. Also, I watched it before I ever watched the original movie.

Nightmare on Elm street was a 2 season show in the late 80s.

If I didn't know they existed, how would I know they exist?

I actually didn’t know that was a movie until after watching the show.

There was a single season sitcom in 1990 called Ferris Bueller. His sister was played by an unknown actress by the name of Jennifer Aniston.

This is quite the quandary. Do I reply with lesser known spin-offs or do I answer the question that’s impossible to answer honestly?
