Recycled: The Series	comment	The unplanned version of the Pilot Movie, mirror image of The Movie. From time to time, someone in Hollywood will see a popular movie, and get the bright idea to turn it into a weekly series. Unlike the Pilot Movie, no plan to do this existed at the time the original movie was made. As a result, Adaptation Decay runs rampant; in particular, it may be necessary to perform a substantial Retcon on the end of the film, as a self-contained film would generally tie up its concept in such a way that the premise of the series would be preempted. An alternative strategy would be to tell an altogether different story, set in The 'Verse of the movie. Of course, the more open-ended the film plot, the easier this is. Sometimes, the series will claim to be a prequel to the film, though this idea can run into trouble if the show goes on long enough that the two crash into each other. Especially common in recent years are series that borrow nothing more than the basic premise of the movie, and go from there. Expect a substantial downgrade in visual effects. Also, Suspiciously Similar Substitutes or The Other Darrin for most or even all of the cast, as the talent available for a big-budget Hollywood movie is a somewhat different pool from that for a weekly series. Animated Adaptations are common here, especially for movies created for adults but with significant kid-demographic overlap. Mind you, while there are plenty of cartoons for adults, these... won't be. If the movie has a sequel, it usually won't acknowledge the series; the reverse may or may not be true. As unlikely an idea as it sounds, there are a surprisingly large number of highly successful examples, some of which have even exceeded the original film in popularity. Unfortunately, those tend to dwindle next to the far larger number of shows that make you wonder what the heck "someone in Hollywood" was thinking (similar to the effect of watching an Animated Adaptation). Compare or overlaps with Artifact Title.

Recycled: The Series / int_100d4e39	comment	Aladdin: The Series is a well-received TV series that took place after the events of the first movie's sequel, Aladdin: The Return of Jafar. The second movie was intentionally a pilot, introducing a reformed Iago and the new voice cast. The third movie Aladdin and the King of Thieves was the finale, though both movies stay fairly self contained from the show itself so they can still be enjoyed as an individual film series.

There was also an Animated Adaptation dubbed Return to the Planet of the Apes, in which the ape civilization depicted in the series was more advanced than its live-action counterparts. (Ironically, this is the only adaptation that comes close to the simian world as shown in Pierre Boulle's original novel!)

The executive producer came from the film and the film and show had similar subject matter and titles, but That's Hollywood came from 20th Century Fox instead of MGM. Not to mention that this is a rare case where a documentary spun off a TV series this way.

The second season is even further removed from the movie, and has little to do with the first, although some characters appear at younger ages. They attempted to make an earlier TV adaptation, in which they would focus on the further exploits of Marge Gunderson (this time portrayed by Edie Falco). It never made it past pilot stage.

Recycled: The Series / int_23945975	comment	Many Disney Animated Canon films were given their own TV shows in the 1990s and 2000s. Aladdin: The Series is a well-received TV series that took place after the events of the first movie's sequel, Aladdin: The Return of Jafar. The second movie was intentionally a pilot, introducing a reformed Iago and the new voice cast. The third movie Aladdin and the King of Thieves was the finale, though both movies stay fairly self contained from the show itself so they can still be enjoyed as an individual film series. Timon & Pumbaa spun off from The Lion King (1994); it had surprisingly good imitations of the film's voice actors. A second Lion King show, The Lion Guard, started airing in 2015. The 7D, a stylized take on the seven dwarfs before they met Snow White. The Emperor's New School was an adaptation of The Emperor's New Groove. The premise of the latter was a parody of animated Disney movies in which a self-centered emperor had to learn to be more considerate of others; the former put him in high school as preparation for becoming an emperor. Well-received, and Eartha Kitt received numerous awards for reprising her role from the film. The Little Mermaid TV series took place before The Little Mermaid (1989) movie happened, possibly to avoid retcons. Since she no longer was a mermaid at the end of the first movie, naming the series "The Little Mermaid" in a post-movie setting would have been a bit silly. 101 Dalmatians had a series with everyone living on the "Dalmatian Plantation", and primarily focused on the adventures of three of the puppies (Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig) and their friend Spot the chicken. There was also a Hercules cartoon series, a midquel of sorts in which he attends an academy for gods and mortals with classmates like Icarus and the seer Cassandra. Hades was also a recurring villain, even though the movie didn't have Hercules meet Hades until he was an adult. Lilo & Stitch: The Series followed up on the original film by introducing audiences to Jumba's other experiments (who were briefly alluded to in the first movie's prologue). In this show, Lilo and Stitch had to find his "cousins" around Kauai, reform them, name them, and find them a place where they could use their abilities for good. Like the Aladdin example above, this show was also bookended by a pilot movie (Stitch! The Movie) and a finale film (Leroy & Stitch). Unlike most of the other entries in this list however, this show managed to be referenced in a later DAC filmnote Splodyhead/Experiment 619's cameo in Big Hero 6 and also introduced a Breakout Character who now gets a steady stream of merchandise released to this day.note Stitch's love interest, Angel/Experiment 624 Lilo & Stitch also got two more TV series, but you'll have to go up to the "Anime and Manga" and "Eastern Animation" folders to read about those ones. The Legend of Tarzan follows up on Disney's 1999 film. Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series, and definitely In Name Only. To clarify, the movies were about an underdog peewee-league hockey team; the show was about anthropomorphic alien duck space-police... who played hockey. Even Toy Story managed to inspire its own Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon, though that was more of a Show Within a Show. The show is also an in-universe example being an adaptation of the movie Lightyear, the first work of the Buzz Lightyear franchise within the Toy Story setting. A kinda sorta inversion: Disney was planning to make a series out of Atlantis: The Lost Empire (the casting of Cree Summer as Kida may have been a result of this). However, the movie didn't do well enough for Disney, and so the three episodes that were being worked on were turned into a direct-to-video instead. It was also originally even going to have a crossover episode of Gargoyles as well. Also averted with The Rescuers. Similar to Atlantis, originally, Disney was actually going to make a TV series off of that film, but due to the financial failure of Down Under (which became the only true flop of Disney's Renaissance era), combined with the death of Eva Gabor, it, as with all future Rescuers films, were scrapped, and was actually eventually reworked into the show Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers instead. Similarly averted with Bambi. The initial Disney Afternoon block was going to have a spin off series Thumper's Thicket, though it seemingly didn't make it past conceptual stages. Averted for the fourth and fifth time regarding Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, but in the same way like the Atlantis example above. Both have episodes that were worked on for their series that got canceled and become direct-to-video releases instead: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World respectively, along with another episode for the latter that ended up on Belle's Tales of Friendship that was originally going to be on the Belle's Magical World original release. The Jungle Book (1967) had a series in the '90s called Jungle Cubs, about Baloo and company when they were...well, cubs. Strangely, Shere Khan goes back and forth from being the Aloof Ally to an actual friend. Kaa is also played as a mischievous friend rather than an outright villain (which actually leads to Fridge Brilliance considering his role in the original books). TaleSpin was also a series with characters based on The Jungle Book (1967). Some argue it's one of the best Disney animated series ever, as well as the one listed below. Arguably, the most popular, and most remembered Disney cartoon, airing just after DuckTales (1987), The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. This one borrowed the title from the movie it's spun from, and altered it, like Jungle Cubs. New Adventures was actually just the start of the series' expansion (second in fact counting the variety show, Welcome To Pooh Corner), followed by numerous movies (both theatrical and direct-to-video), and another two series (The Book of Pooh and My Friends Tigger & Pooh). While not without its detractors, the Winnie the Pooh franchise has arguably garnered the most positive response compared to other Disney continuations due to being less ambitious, and thus lower expectations. Tangled has Tangled: The Series, later renamed Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. Big Hero 6 has Big Hero 6: The Series.

Recycled: The Series / int_2675c915	comment	Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is something of one to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though it's not spun out of any film in particular but rather the spy agency that helps connect all of them. Unlike most examples here, the movie series continues to go on and the TV show stays in the movie continuity rather than being an alternate or retconned version, so it and the movies can and do directly affect each other: the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier serve as the first season's big plot twist, and the show's subplots are laying groundwork for The Inhumans years ahead of their own movie.This continuity later fell into discontinuity, as after the first two seasons the show stopped incorporating the movies which (other than the aforementioned Winter Soldier) often amounted to nothing more than a mention in a cold open and had no bearing on the plot at hand (this was also due to said episodes having to be withheld from viewing until the movie came out, which wildly disrupted the first season's scheduling). By season 4, the show worked within its own universe and both the series and the movies disregarded each other in regards to continuity.

While the 1998 Godzilla movie was widely reviled, the animated adaptation was far better received, what with that Godzilla actually acting like the Kaiju we all know and love. Mainly in how the show was about him fighting other Kaiju.

Recycled: The Series / int_2b05167	comment	Alien Nation was another series that arguably improved on the source. Where the movie was pretty much a sci-fi/buddy-cop action flick, the series allowed much more depth to the characters, and was more of a social commentary than a shoot-em-up. The series made some slight continuity changes from the movie, making the aliens' anatomy more human (to allow less elaborate prosthetic makeup, though it was still considerable) and ignoring the mutagenic drug that was important to the film's climax. It also changed the spelling of the human lead's last name, from Sikes to Sykes, as well as recasting a much younger (and more conventionally attractive) Gary Graham to replace A-lister James Caan. Otherwise, it kept consistent with the movie and even incorporated footage from the movie as a flashback in its pilot episode.

Recycled: The Series / int_45854dfc	comment	Starship Troopers spawned a CGI-series The Roughneck Chronicles. It was surprisingly well done, but massive ongoing behind-the-scenes production problems doomed it. An interesting case, since while they lifted a few ideas and characters from the movie (Dizzy being female, etc.), the series was more a recycle of the book instead. They took their sweet time dooming it though; it only got cancelled three episodes from the end. There was even a fan-run online fundraiser to get the series finished just because it was so damn close, but it sadly didn't get off the ground.

The setting changed to Toronto, Nick moved from a theater to a converted warehouse loft, the vampires were made older and more backstory added,and the male coroner became a female,likely for more sexual tension. Most of the cast was replaced,but Don Kapelos kept the role of Don Schanke. Also,Nick's '59 Cadillac became a '63 one.

This one borrowed the title from the movie it's spun from, and altered it, like Jungle Cubs. New Adventures was actually just the start of the series' expansion (second in fact counting the variety show, Welcome To Pooh Corner), followed by numerous movies (both theatrical and direct-to-video), and another two series (The Book of Pooh and My Friends Tigger & Pooh). While not without its detractors, the Winnie the Pooh franchise has arguably garnered the most positive response compared to other Disney continuations due to being less ambitious, and thus lower expectations.

In attempt to attract family viewers, the show's tone was markedly different from the film's and starred Jim Breuer as Randall. Attempts by Kevin Smith and original stars Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson to be involved with the project were shot down (Smith's script idea was rejected and O'Halloran and Anderson auditioned for the part of Dante, as Jim Breuer was already given the Randall part) and the show never survived past the pilot anyway. The later, Smith-approved-and-original-cast-involved animated series did better, if only that it actually made it to air, albeit just for a few episodes.

The results were far different from the adult slapstick of the movie, and arguably more intuitive (and better). Instead of Bill Murray, the show takes place inside a boy named Hector. This is explained in the first episode — "alien abduction", or, in human terms, a mosquito bite. However, this episode also contradicts the ending of the film, where Bill Murray's near-death experience convinces him to finally start watching out for his health, as he's more slovenly than ever at the start of the episode.

Recycled: The Series / int_bd54ba07	comment	In 1975 Blazing Saddles was made into a TV pilot, Black Bart, written by the film's screenwriter Andrew Bergman. It was never picked up as a series, but it was aired on April 4, 1975, and appears on the movie DVD — it had Louis Gossett, Jr. as Bart (with a moustache for some reason), and Steve Landesberg replaced Gene Wilder as his drunkard sidekick, a former Confederate officer named "Reb" Jordan. Other characters are replaced, and the script completely lacks the spoofing and humour style of the film it spun off from. Interestingly, only the pilot was ever aired, but the show continued to be made for a few years afterward, as a ploy by Mel Brooks to keep the studio from obtaining the rights to a sequel. It has since been revealed that the story about an unaired show remaining in production for years in order for the studio to keep the option open for a sequel was written as a joke, and was quoted at face value by many repudiated sources.

Kay enlightened Jay that once in a while, a Hollywood writer inadvertently makes a movie about them, forcing them to neuralize the public, pulling the movie, and relocating. The series in fact, takes place after the movie itself was released. "So that's why they keep making the same movies over and over again!" Interestingly, they made light of the fact that neither Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones reprised their roles in the animated series by having Jay and Kay comment on the choice of actors for the Hollywood movie made within the series (with the characters onscreen in the movie trailer looking like dead ringers for the original movie actors). Marvel Comics made a one-shot that explains why Kay is still an agent. They needed him in an unseen case.

Recycled: The Series / int_e0cc2a40	comment	Dragons: Riders of Berk is a TV series to How to Train Your Dragon. Being a Sequel Series, it does remain in continuity with the film, about half of the film's cast including lead Jay Baruchel reprise their roles, and the animation is surprisingly high quality.

Recycled: The Series / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an unusual example, in that the 1992 movie wasn't all that popular. The script writer, Joss Whedon, didn't think the final product matched his original vision, so he jumped at the chance to remake it as a TV series in 1996. The TV-series is a sequel to the original movie script, ignoring the changes made that resulted in the final product. He later made a comic of the version of the movie's events considered canon in the series.

Similar to Atlantis, originally, Disney was actually going to make a TV series off of that film, but due to the financial failure of Down Under (which became the only true flop of Disney's Renaissance era), combined with the death of Eva Gabor, it, as with all future Rescuers films, were scrapped, and was actually eventually reworked into the show Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers instead.

Recycled: The Series / int_f7ed2fef	comment	The Little Mermaid TV series took place before The Little Mermaid (1989) movie happened, possibly to avoid retcons. Since she no longer was a mermaid at the end of the first movie, naming the series "The Little Mermaid" in a post-movie setting would have been a bit silly.

Recycled: The Series / int_fa68c844	comment	Uncle Buck had two: The first ran in 1990 on CBS with Buck (now played by Kevin Meaney) taking custody of Tia, Miles and Maizy when their parents die in an automobile accident after the events of the film (although you wouldn't know it with how happy they all look). It met with unfavorable reviews by critics and lackluster ratings, was moved into the Friday Night Death Slot, and finally cancelled after one season. Much later in 2015, ABC picked up a new version of the property starring Mike Epps as Buck. Airing as a Midseason Replacement in the summer of 2016, it too was met with poor reviews and ratings. ABC ended Buck's stay after just 8 episodes.

Recycled: The Series / int_fcd86271	comment	The King and I has the short-lived 1970s sitcom Anna and the King, not to be confused with the 1999 movie of the same name. Featuring an American Anna (played by British Samantha Eggar) and none of the Rodgers and Hammerstein music, this didn't have much to do with The King And I, other than the basic premise, Yul Brynner reprising his role as King Mongkut, and the occasional recycling of dresses and jewelry from the movie.
