TAKE NOTE, ARRESTED: These Are The Worst TV-To-Movie Attempts Ever

 "Arrested Development" may have gotten the trick of coming to the big screen just right by inking a deal to come back to the small screen first.

A fourth "season" of the underappreciated series will pave the way for an "Arrested" movie.

The trick might help the show avoid the traps of translation attempts.

Fans often come away from TV-movies disappointed by a feature film's inability to capture their favorite show's essence. The pace, nuances and humor of a half-hour show often peter out when pushed to the 90-minute mark.

(One entity going the other way, fyi? Syfy just announced it'll develop a series based on the Matt Damon movie "The Adjustment Bureau." But movies-turned-TV is a story for another day...)

"The Brady Bunch" should have quit while they were ahead. "A Very Brady Sequel," the second of two movies based on the popular sitcom, came out in 1996 and included a magic mushroom trip as well as a love story between Marcia and Greg.

1999's "Inspector Gadget" didn't captivate its audience the same way the T.V. series did. It garnered negative reviews and let down go-go fans.

The 2002 live action version of "Scooby Doo," earned critical boos. It wasn't all bad, though: the Freddie Prinze, Jr. starrer made more than $54 million.
