We all know that studios go ga-ga for big screen movies based on TV shows. Even if they tank, there seems to be an unending appetite to bring a beloved (or even semi-beloved) TV show to a theater near you: The Fugitive, Charlie's Angels, Transformers, The Beverly Hillbillies, Serenity (Firefly), The Simpsons, South Park, The Flintstones, The Jetsons...the list is endless. Now Den of Geek has a list of 23 shows that studios are planning to bring to the big screen.But this list is really incomplete in so many ways. We've all heard that Magnum, P.I. might get the movie treatment, but this list only says that Matthew McConaughey might star and doesn't mention other people who have been rumored to have been attached to it in the past, including Ben Affleck and George Clooney.
While it borrows a concept from shows like Space Ghost and Sealab 2021, "The Skeletor Show," an independent effort with three episodes currently on YouTube, doesn't quite stand up to those programs. Nevertheless, the show has some great moments and I found myself laughing out loud more than once. Dubbing new voices over footage of the old He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon, the creators turn evil Skeletor into the star of his own wacky sitcom along with Evil-Lyn, Beastman, and the occasional special guest. Like I said, it's not as good as the shows it tries to emulate, but it's also much better than it has any right to be. I also like how the episodes sometimes address comments, such as Orko's hilarious response to one comment which simply read, "This sucks, you faggot." 
While closing the book on the successful half-hour animated toy
commercial that was He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the creators realized something: 'Holy cow,
we need to find a way to make money off of little girls, too.' Enter She-Ra, Princess of Power, the long lost sister of
He-Man. She-Ra was first introduced in the 1985 film "The Secret of the Sword" which then led into the TV
series. All 93 episodes of the series will be released on DVD eventually, but not in any specific order. The first
release will contain episodes voted on by fans, as well as the feature film, and will be available on July 18,
with three more volumes covering the rest of the series to be released over the next year. I watched He-Man
religiously as a child, but never really got into She-Ra. I assume, other than the protagonist being a woman,
that it didn't venture too far from the "fight evil and learn an important lesson" template of
He-Man. Did anyone out there watch it?
As anyone who reads IMDb knows, many of the titles listed as "in development" or even "announced"
have to be taken with a grain of salt. So when you see the entry for a
