TIME TRAVELERS WIFE TV Series, Why!?

Turning The Time Travelers Wife into a TV series is absolutely pointless, yet it is happening. I can’t understand why, but ABC is teaming up with Friends creator Marta Kauffman and Warner Bros TV to adapt The Time Traveler’s Wife into a weekly TV series.
I saw the movie this last weekend, and it sucked. Not even the girls liked it! The story and acting were just bad. Sure the movie made $20 million it’s opening weekend, but that’s not really a success story. Then the reviews have not been very good either.
Apparently ABC was interested in making the series before the movie came out. They’ve been talking about bringing it to the small screen for years. Well, now is their chance to pull out before they spend money on a TV show that is for sure going to bomb.
Kauffman is set to write and executive produce. ABC executives believe the complex plot of the original novel will work well in series form, since Kauffman will be able to explore the romantic relationship at the core of the story over the course of several seasons.
So they really want to drag it out over several seasons? Oh boy.
First published as a novel in 2003, Time Traveler’s revolves around a man named Henry (played by Bana in the movie) with a genetic disorder that results in spontaneous time travel. He ends up falling in love and marrying Clare (McAdams), an artist who patiently endures his frequent disappearances.
This isn’t a good thing, and I seriously doubt it will become a success. If you are a fan of the book or movie, please tell me how you think it is all going to go down.

Wasnt there already a TV series? Wasnt it called Journeyman?
My mum would watch it. There are women who like this slop.
Hell. No. I hope this gets cancelled after the first two weeks like the god awful cave man show. Why wont Geico understand the EVERYONE HATES THEM and just take them off the god damn air altogether. So many misakes Hollywood and entertainment in genral is making. So many errors. I want to snap my fingers and fix them all. -snap- spiderman 3 is fixed -snap- pirates of the caribbean 3 is fixed -snap- Time Travelers Wife anything has been erased from film -snap- G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra doesnt look like action figures anymore -snap- superman doesnt have a son anymore -snap -snap- -snap- -snap- UGH!
Mr. Black is right. Journeyman was actually not a bad show, but it got canceled after one season. I am a fan of the book, but really don't think it is easily adapted material.
Quantum Leap?
It's Quantum Leap from Sam's family point-of-view. Wonder if Ziggy will talk to her vis-a-vis hologram too…
The book was awesome, the movie was ok (mostly glossing over everything in the book and I agree with you about the acting. What a disappointment). But I can’t see why they would make this a series after the movie was released. It’s an interesting premise for a serial show, but I hope they just leave well enough alone.
wow cant wait for this one. i so hope, yes hope they do that thing where at the end of the show there's a narrator that speaks in a wise sage way and a song is playing and we get to see video clips of what everyone is doing and oh, how they are feeling and getting by because they have nothing else to write so if they do this it will squeak out enough material to fill the show. wow cant wait for this one
the book was excellent and complicated. it may have worked as a mini-series, rather than the movie that i was so disappointed in. i doubt it would work as a weekly tv show as much as i would want it to. see, the characters in the book were well-developed and we didn't see any of it in the movie. there was a lot more sex, drugs and punk music in the book that i wish we could've had a taste of. if they get the right people on the show, it has the potential to be good. that's a big IF!
