20 Ways Your Favourite TV Shows Were Almost Completely Different
10. The Simpsons - Kamp Krusty Was Pitched As The First Movie
The premiere of Season 4, Kamp Krusty was a strong episode to kick off one of the very best seasons of The Simpsons, but it could've been a much bigger affair.
After seeing a cut of the episode, producer James L. Brooks called the writers and suggested that it instead be used as the basis for a feature-length movie. The writers, however, had already stretched the episode out to fill the run-time, and felt it wasn't possible to turn into a movie.
The issue thankfully wasn't pressed much further, but had the network really forced it then this could've been the very first Simpsons movie, 15 years before the one we actually got. Had it happened, it would've had a real impact on the production of the show, right in the middle of its golden age.
