A lot of movies have been converted to TV shows. And sometimes the show is so good everyone forgot the movie ever existed. And example of this is Buffy the Vampire Slayer
another Movie to TV-The Dead Zone (this was Book to Movie to TV, but oh well )
There's also plans for NBC to convert the upcoming movie Van Helsing to a TV show
What do you all think of this concept?

The movie Buffy, the vampire slayer was nothing compared to the show. So I think when it is well done, it is always a good idea, for the series' format allows greater developments of the story,...
Another example of this is Twin Peaks.
With the exception of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Stargate SG: 1, all other movie to tv conversions i've seen have been quite poor i.e. Poltergeist : The Legacy, Police Academy : The Series, Mortal Kombat : The Series and Total Recall 2050 to name but a few poor conversions.
Most TV to Film conversions are made a considerable amount of time after the show in question has ended and very rarely stars its original coast members (i.e. The Avengers, The Hulk, The Saint, Mission Impossible, Planet of the Apes, Sgt Bilko, Lost In Space, Starsky and Hutch, The Addams Family, Bigfoot and the Hendersons & The Munsters) the majority of which were pretty poor in comparison to their tv counterparts (Mission Impossible and The Addams Family the main exceptions), although the Monty Python and Bless This House film conversations were pretty good in my opinion also.
Not really a fan of those shows to be honest the only two shows that are similar to your aforementioned ones that i really like are Bless This House and The Monty Python films
I liked Mortal Combat: Conquest, but I guess that's more based on the video game.
