I recall liking Flipper (1964) as a kid... Flipper was an extension of the 1963 film Flipper starring Chuck Connors and Luke Halpin as Porter and Sandy Ricks, and of its 1964 sequel, Flipper's New Adventure.

I enjoyed Flipper when I was a kid, too. Of course, now I have to go back even further to when I was an even younger kid and say that I once lived for Lassie -- of course, a highly Americanized version, but still, I suppose attributable to the early film, Lassie, Come Home - or perhaps better said, inspired by that. Not sure. But before I forget, I want to add Mama (1949), based on I Remember Mama (1948). Never saw the former, though it had a long run into a period where I could have seen it. But I absolutely love the latter. The Mama TV series is pretty good. Most seasons aired live, the final season was shot on film. Search for it on YouTube or the Internet Archive. It's worth seeing. |

From the early 1960's
Room For One More
The Farmer's Daughter
and from the 1970's there was the very short-lived "The King and I"
By the way - MeTV had a thing up the other day which had you answering questions about TV commercial jingles or catch-phrases, saying it could guess you age by how you answered. It had me two years older than my actual age, but that is pretty darn close, all things considered.

buffy the vampire slayer became buffy. i think You're right itsmagic it was the same exact title for both movie and series - " Buffy the Vampire Slayer " . I think the fans called it " Buffy " as the shortened title  . |

I get the newsletter for MeTV channel's website and also saw the quiz there too but haven't taken it yet  . Thanks for the reminder on this neurosturgeon . |

Highlander
Blade
Friday the 13th (Friday the 13th: The Series) in name only though
A Nightmare On Elm Street (Freddy's Nightmares, well Freddy was the host anyhow)
Silence of the Lambs (Hannibal)
Psycho (Bates Motel)
Fast Times at Ridgemount High (starring the guy who played Chainsaw in "Summer School" as Spigoli)
Teen Wolf
Planet of the Apes
Poltergeist (Poltergeist: The Legacy) in name only again
Stargate
Total Recall (Total Recall 2070, more like Blade Runner though)
Tremors
Robocop (Robocop: The Series and Prime Directives)
The Crow
The Terminator (The Sarah Connor Chronicles, owes more to T2 though)
Clueless
Tales From the Crypt (1972) it kind of doesn't count since they are both simply adaptations of EC comics, but the HBO show does have many similarities to the movie both remake and inspiration-wise.
Tales From the Darkside (essentially "Creepshow" the series. Romero had to change the name due to rights issues)
Weird Science (interesting enough, another EC adaptation. This one definitely owes a lot to the film version though)
Superman (1948) This one sort of doesn't count, but is worth noting that Kirk Allan was to reprise his role from the 1948 and 50 movie serials as the Man of Steel, but turned it down wanting more money. He was simply recast. You'll notice Noel Neill eventually reprised her role as Lois Lane in the show.

The Thin Man - 1957 - 59: Peter Lawford, Phyllis Kirk
Bagdad Cafe - 1990 - 91: Whoopi Goldberg, Jean Stapleton
Perry Mason - 1957 - 66: This one is undoubtedly more well-known as a TV series than it was as either preceding film series or radio show, making it exceptional among most of those mentioned. Four of the six films (1934 - 37) featured Warren William as Mason; Ricardo Cortez in one; Donald Woods in another. The radio show ran from 1943 - 55, and featured several changes of cast.
