I love the stuff AMC puts out, but this thing just has me scratching my head wondering why in the fark anyone out there felt the need to do this. I can't really think of a movie-based series that ran successfully. There's been a bunch, but they've all failed.

Why? Because Fark you, gimme the money. There's several of these spinoffs coming this year.

With The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, all made by the same people, isn't the story of the mob pretty much covered?

Henry Hill, the early days.
Henry Hill, the lost years.

Henry Hill: the older, wiser... no, continuation of the cocaine years.

I can't hear the end of the Stargate spinoffs.

And seriously, the movie note for note captured everything you needed or wanted to know about the Lucchese crime family. I read the book Wiseguy and Scorsese pretty well nailed it.

...Star Wars" The Clone Wars. Animated but still. And there's a live action show coming up.

I stand corrected.

Thanks.

I think the film captures it all. Not a fan of voice over, but it carries it off. I really doubt a series could come close.

The definitive TV version has already been done

The other problem this might have and I don't want to discourage anyone else's work but isn't Joe Pesci and to a lesser extent Robert DeNiro's character going to be a little hard to follow?

/theyr'e also making a Hannibal Lecter series, BTW

I'm guessing it'll have a great first season, drawing in a few million people. Then it'll have the budget cut in half and season 2 will be shot entirely inside Henry's bathroom where they debate on flushing down the coke.

I love Goodfellas. It's probably in my top five favorite movies of all time. A TV series though? There's so much that makes the movie great it'll just make the show look that much worse.

As is they already tried a TV movie about the Lufthansa job (The Big Heist, think it was A&E though) and Donald Sutherland couldn't even come close to following Bobby's performance as Jimmy the Gent.

What in the special hell are they thinking? Aside from the "fark you, pay me."

What are you still doing here, Subby? I thought I told you to go f*ck your mother.

To maintain the integrity of the movie, it's vitally important that MORRIE'S WIGS DON'T COME OFF!!!

Even underwater!

So, after they renew it, the next season will be spent in the club while we wonder for three episodes what's in the trunk?

I polished HER box, does that count?
