Amazing choice. I adore Forever. I wish they made more seasons

I would love to see a 4 or 5 movie series of Star Trek: Voyager.

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

I can't call myself a huge ST fan but I really loved the original series and Voyager.

Voyager was really underrated

I would like to see a Peter Gunn film with Jon Hamm playing Gunn set in the late 50s/early 60s as the original show was. They did make a movie in the late 60s with the original actor Craig Stevens.

Interesting idea too

The Pretender

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

YESSSSS! I adore this series and would love to see more of Jarod and Miss Parker

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

They did make some telemovies to wrap up the storyline after the show was cancelled.

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

You're absolutely right. I saw them but I was talking about big screen

[–] slimone (7996) 5 years ago

I can think of one that was. . . The Odd Couple

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77422) 5 years ago

Magnum P.I. could have been a great movie series

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

That could have been an early franchise if done right. A Hawaiian James Bond of sorts.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77422) 5 years ago

I thought of the Bond series as I typed this...It would have been an amazing franchise

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

Magnum P.I. and Knight Rider were my jems from the 80's

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77422) 5 years ago

I'm right there with you👍

[–] db20db (17237) 5 years ago

Cold Case could be good. I used to enjoy that show, especially the preternatural scenes at the end where the victims seemed to finally find peace. That seemed like a pretty creative touch to me at the time.

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

Cold Case is one of the most amazing shows I've seen. Very cool idea with the preternatural scenes
