I'd recently heard about that, and my first thought was those feature-length 'Man from U.N.C.L.E.' movies - they put out a few of those so they must have at least recouped their cost (?)
Having three episodes for one movie-length story may have allowed for some extended scenes - I'm thinking about the 'putting Max on a stretcher' sequence that went on and on and was hilarious (saw it posted on YouTube)

ill have to see those three episodes....and those 'Man from U.N.C.L.E.' movies.
though I have been watching Batman '66 tonite, and i dont think a feature film wouldve been too bad. a bit of fun!

they do mention all of that on the DVD set a time or two... like you, i think a Get Smart movie would have been a good idea, but then, it'd feel weird watching something so similar to the regular TV show without a laugh track...  |

thats where i think - so far - sitcom movies have gone wrong. they shoulg still be set in studio sets and have laughter tracks - just make em a bit longer!

it might be a little weird to sit in a theater and hear a laugh track built into your movie...

No laugh track, but pace things accordingly. I'd seen a low-budget movie on tv starring Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie fresh off 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' where their dialog was all measured to pause for 'the laugh', and the silences were overwhelming...

Sad that it never went to theaters. I would have welcomed a Get Smart movie back then. I imagine it would have done well commercially, too.

well...supposedly there was a third TV show movie made - a lesser known pic: McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force - see the ImDB Page here: www.imdb.com/title/tt0059437/ |

huffaker:
The U.N.C.L.E. films were actually two-part episodes with a few minutes of extra footage. I believe they're now part of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. DVD Set.

They did the same with the TV series "Danger Man" - they had two 50 minute episodes which were the one storyline, but in some places around the world it was marketed as the one film.

I recently saw that they had Munster Go Home and some other Munster movie packaged together at Wal Mart. I didn't buy it, but I'm a little curious, so maybe I'll go back for it sometime. I just can't really get over the idea of The Munsters in color. Though The Addams Family in color wasn't too bad. I hate this current fad of turning classic shows into movies, though.

its just a further step down the ladder of Creativity for Hollywood.
they use up all the good movie plots of 40/50 years ago -> move onto TV adaptations.
sad times indeed.

On the topic of these sorts of films - last night I saw THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO! - the Thunderbirds film from 1966.
and i saw it on the big screen too - which was mighty impressive.
