: MASH's final episode "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen", while never a theatrical release, was around an hour or two long, so could that maybe be considered a TV movie? (and since it's like the most watched TV episode of all time).

: : The Simpsons voice-actors, as they are so commonly called, have 2 movies that they are required to do by contract. Which is a good indication that there will be a movie (or 2) sometime. Whether or not it'll be good is a question of, what possibly could The Simpsons do in 2 hours, that couldn't get done in 30 minutes? Not much. It'd be useless to do a Simpsons movie, other than make a shit load of bank. Which it would...
: : Oh, and by the way:
: : 'Friends' doesn't have a movie
: : 'Frasier' doesn't have a movie
: : 'Sienfeld' does/didn't have a movie
: : 'The Cosby Show' never had a movie
: : 'I Love Lucy' Never had a movie
: : Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
: : ...and these are deemed 'successful' shows. I think only 2 shows in the last few years have made the big screen, sucessfully. 'Jackass' and 'South Park' that I can remember.
