10 TV Shows That Kickstarter Should Help Revive As Films

Serenity Veronica Mars is making giant waves in Hollywood. I'm not talking about its cleverly written and well-received (though ultimately not well-watched enough) run on television from 2004-2007. No, I'm talking about the way its creators and fans were able to turn their fantasy of a feature film into a reality with the help of fundraising website Kickstarter. Team Veronica Mars hoped to raise $2,000,000 in an effort to revive the show for a cinematic comeback. And they did. In fact, they raised more than that in less than a single day. And the money is still pouring in. This incredible, head-spinning bit of news has the creators of old shows and their fans scratching their chins, looking up to the sky, and wondering "could we do that?" Well we say: why not? If it worked for Veronica Mars, it can work for you, too! But which ones should be resuscitated? Here's a look at 10 TV shows that have left the networks but not our hearts and how they can come back for the big screen, assuming the Kickstarter gods smile upon them as they've smiled on plucky Veronica Mars.
