Feel Free To Do The Monster Mash, Just Don't Watch The Movie MASH

TV shows based on movies usually end up being mere footnotes in the history of the films they spawned from. The Ferris Bueller's Day Off TV show spin-off, that Minority Report TV show (God, I forgot that even happened until I started writing this review), the Napoleon Dynamite TV show, all relics of far more popular features. But there are exceptions to this rule and TV shows based on movies are no exception. Mr. Belvedere and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for instance, are both more well-known in the modern era for their TV offshoots rather than the movies they originated from and it's likely that the same can be said for the TV show inspired by Robert Altman's 1970 film MASH.
