10 Movies Turned Into Shows

6. Clueless

Clueless, one of the biggest cult classics of the nineties was actually a modern take on Emma, a novel by famed writer Jane Austen.

It defined a whole generation of teenagers and their lives, although the huge majority of the show’s fans didn’t actually go to a Beverly Hills high school.

As this 1995 flick was a huge success, a TV series spin-off couldn’t be avoided by any means.

The show, which shared the same title with its huge big-screen parent, did not share the movie’s success, and it got canceled after three seasons due to dwindling ratings. Rachel Blanchard took over the role of protagonist Cher (as Alicia Silverstone’s popularity blew up after the movie was released), but most of the original cast reprised their roles.
