Drama+time=comedy


Why are they making all these dramatic shows into comedy movies? The A-Team was among the first wave, Dark Shadows, 21 Jump Street, and now Baywatch (more like baewatch right? Haha get it because there are a bunch of dudes creeping over Alexandra daddario?). I mean, it works, they're not bad movies, but it's sort of disappointing to the original fan base to go out of genre isn't it?

The original A-team was already a comedy in a way. 21 jump street actually worked better as a comedy. I wouldn't wanna see a serious movie version cause it'd come off cheesy. How did you forget Dragnet with Dan Aykroyd,Starsky and hutch with Ben Stiller and Green Hornet with Seth rogen? Dragnet was maybe the first serious tv show to get made into a spoof in the movie version.

Actually the A-Team movie was an attempt to make a bloated action franchise out of older TV shows. I think the Mod Squad attempted something similar to even worse effect.

There was little dramatic about the A-Team show. The movie was actually a little more serious than the show...

The A-Team movie was more serious than the TV show. I think it is stupid to make something that was an action/drama TV a comedy.
