Not every movie is worth adapting into a TV series.

TNT's Snowpiercer is more than enough proof that even the best movies don't always translate well to the smaller screen. But while most movie-to-TV spin-offs feel like blatant cash crabs, every now and then you come across a real head-scratcher. These are the shows that you know in your gut were destined to fail: the shows that you're positive anyone in their right mind must have known would lose money. These are some of the weirdest movie spin-off TV shows ever made.

Ferris Bueller

  

NBC

Hey, is that Ferris Bueller? How come he doesn't look like Matthew Broderick? Well, silly, that's because this isn't your mommy's Ferris Bueller and that Ferris Bueller is some guy named Charlie Schlatter. Much more importantly though, is Ferris Bueller's sister Jennifer Aniston? Indeed, before becoming a definitive '90s icon on Friends, Jennifer Aniston starred as Jeannie Bueller in a Ferris Bueller spin-off that nobody watched.
