Line 59:
* ''[[The Adventures of Robin Hood (TV series)|The Adventures of Robin Hood]]'' had three 'movies' released on video, and later DVD, called "Robin Hood: The Movie", "Robin Hood: The Quest for the Crown" and "Robin Hood: Greatest Adventures" that were only way to get any of this classic show before the entire series was released on DVD.
* The original (1970s) ''[[Kolchak the Night Stalker]]'' had two pairs of episodes grafted together to form movies. "Firefall" and "The Energy Eater" became "Crackle of Death", and "Demon in Lace" and "Legacy of Terror" were joined to create "The Demon and the Mummy".
* The 1970s the ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic(1978 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' episodes "Living Legend" (parts 1 and 2) and "Fire in Space" were edited together to produce "Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack".
* The ''[[Monty Python]]'' movie ''[[And Now for Something Completely Different]]''. This was in fact a compilation of completely re-filmed sketches made for theatrical release, since the originals a) were shot on video tape, b) had [[Laugh Track|laugh tracks]], and c) were only available for TV distribution (the movie could also be viewed in full colour, at a time when many british viewers owned only black-and-white television sets).
* One of the constituent serials of the NBC series ''[[Cliffhangers]]'', "Stop Susan Williams" was later re-edited into a telemovie, ''The Girl Who Saved The World''. Because the original serial's broadcast was [[Cut Short]] by cancellation, it ended up being the first time Americans saw that serial's ending.
