I can think of a ton of TV shows that spawned a movie or movies: Star Trek, Charlies Angels, Dukes of Hazzard, Chips, Batman, Lost in Space, and many more.

But there aren't many Movies which launched a TV series where the plot continues from the movie. I can only think of a few:

-M*A*S*H,
-The Terminator had that weak Sara Conners TV show about 10 years ago,
-There was Fargo's TV series.

But the list ends there for some reason.

Are there others?

"Twelve O'Clock High" was a great movie from 1949, I can't remember if the 1964-67 TV series continued the plot.

There actually were quite a few, but they mostly all bad and/or forgettable.

Ferris Buehler's Day Off
Bates Motel

Stargate
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
(Yhese 2 were wildly successful, going 10+ seasons each and producing spin-off series).

Not to mention the cartoons:
Beetlejuice (counts because it was based on live action)

Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher

Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers both had a theatrical release prior to the TV run although both were planned to be TV shows IIRC.

The Rambo character was in an animated series called Rambo: The Force of Freedom.

The Robocop character was in two animated and one live-action series.

Not really fitting into a neat category, but Chuck Norris was in an animated series called Karate Kommandos, playing himself.
