There is nothing inherently wrong with turning a TV series into a video game spinoff. It can fill in the gaps between seasons to quell the viewers' hunger, let audiences explore characters from new perspectives and even give the more hardcore couch potatoes some much needed exercise even if they only burned 1/100ths of a calorie solely through their thumbs.
The problem is video game developers pick TV shows that should never even become a travel sized board game. Developers have given the greenlight to games based on shows like
American Idol,
Desperate Housewives and even ...
Grey's Anatomy?!? I hope that last one was a first-person shooter.
There are far better shows that offer far more entertaining elements for a kick-ass video game. These are the shows that should be next in line for a pixelated re-treatment.

They're really rushing this one out.
Reaper's season two will
hit DVD June 9 -- only two weeks after the season ends on The CW!
The DVD was originally set for an even earlier release, June 2, but the studio pushed it back a week for reasons unknown.
I'm really looking forward to this set.
Reaper is one of those amazing but little-watched shows I can't seem to shut up about. I strongly encourage fans to pick this set up in June.
Like all good genre shows these days,
Reaper will probably be "on the bubble" as the season winds down. The show's executive producers are
reportedly leaving, and the fate of the show is hanging in the air. Good DVD sales might help
Reaper get renewed for a third season. (Well, it couldn't hurt.)
