Men with Brooms

I didn't like this show (it would appear most people certainly did not like it) but worse than that I didn't even understand it. I still can't figure out why this show was made... how did this happen?

Men with Brooms was a harmless, not very good but still much better than this TV version, movie. That movie came out in 2001 or 2002 and did OK for a Canadian film. By that I mean it actually got released in theatres and some ho-hum reviews and word of mouth but overall didn't make much at the box office and probably lost money. Nobody raved about it and it's not like people were still talking about it months let alone years later.

So why make a TV version almost a decade later? Especially when you don't even have the good, talented, relatively famous cast they had in the movie?

A bunch of no name actors doing a watered down, stretched out, poorly written imitation of a riddled with plot holes movie than wasn't even successful when it first came out like 9 years before. How could they be surprised it flopped? Maybe a movie sequel would have made more sense.

Anyway hopefully they don't repeat the same mistake again any time soon. Avoid this show like the plague because it's not even funny, and the movie's not very good either so not worth watching unless you're a huge Paul Gross or Leslie Nielsen fan.
