These TV Shows Did So Well That They Got Box Office Spin-Offs

Sex and the City

Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha captured every single girl's heart in the 1990s, teaching the do's and don't of dating in New York City. The show earned two spin-off movies and both pick up where the show ended. Carrie and Big's wedding is the main plot of the first film, but whether or not they make it to the altar is a spoiler not to be given away...

Police Squad!

The original Police Squad! series was canceled after just six episodes. However, the show, led by Leslie Nielsen, paved th way for the popular Naked Gun movies that hit big screens in the 80s and 90s. People love a good buddy cop comedy.
