radiomanMovies that carried on as TV shows
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?

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

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

egregoreThe 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.
