Sometimes a worst TV show may become a good video game. You have listed Lost as one of the TV shows that shouldn't have made as video games. I have played the game and I like it. I didn't find any problem in the game.

18) Friends: The One With All the Trivia
Yes, they turned Friends into a game. Well, calling it a game is a bit generous, because as the subtitle suggests, this is merely a revolving door of heavily compressed video clips from the show followed by screens that ask "what happens next?" If you think Chandler stuffs Monica's hair in her mouth, for example, press "X." This does not sound like trivia; it sounds like a disturbing self-evaluation of your own existence.
17) Beavis and Butt-Head
The question isn't how MTV's most infamous pair of scapegoats became a pair of protagonists in a videogame. It's how did they get turned into a pair of protagonists in a series of games? From 1994 to 1998, eight different games about the guys who start fires and watch music videos were released, though the earlier ones were markedly more ambitious. Virtual Stupidity on the PC, for example, is a surprisingly fun adventure game about the boys trying to join Todd's gang and be cool. The last game out, 1998's Bunghole In One is a golf game. Hey, teenagers play golf, right?
16) Deadliest Catch
The Discovery Channel documentary series is about real-life crab fishermen doing their lucrative but dangerous job aboard vessels in the Bering Sea. But that Herculean task has, in both games its spawned, audaciously been turned into lame Flash-style games, like crab-basketball against a goal-tending swinging crane. Really.
15) Mr. Bean
The stumbling Brit with a speech impediment has to journey through 12 levels (with exciting themes like "the sewers," "a hedge maze," and "outside") to rescue his beloved Teddy. This probably isn't what Shigeru Miyamoto had in mind when he invented the platformer.
14) Cesar Millan's Dog Whisperer
You know the best way to practice walking your dog? Not by going outside, but by firing up your DS or PC and simulating the experience while poor little Sparky's bladder explodes. Tragically, you really shouldn't clean it up until Millan teaches you how, and that level is only in the expansion pack, Urine Trouble! Sorry, Sparky.
13) Heathcliff
Everyone's favorite also-ran orange feline has been in two games, but it's the most recent one, 2010's Heathcliff: The Fast and the Furriest that's really remarkable for being so canon. Consider this synopsis found from the internet: "classic cartoon cat Heathcliff must kart race to free his girlfriend Sonja from Aliens." Remember all the Aliens? Well, they're all here!
12) Gilligan's Island
Yes, this existed. Yes, it was horrible. No, you don't get to control Gilligan. Yes, you control the Skipper, who must endure Gilligan's awful AI, which makes him love falling in holes and wishing for a magical mountain of ice cream. Yes, this existed.
11) Miami Vice
Just another symptom of the wanton cocaine abuse that went on during the '80s. Not to be confused with the 2006 remake, the 1986 Commodore 64 game actually was a forerunner to Grand Theft Auto's earliest entries, featuring overhead shooting and driving. The back cover also has a pull quote, apparently from the console itself saying this is "everything you want in a game." Yup. Cocaine is funny stuff.
10) Dallas
All the implausible plot points and ludicrous characters don't seem so far-fetched after this game was released. In The Dallas Quest you're a detective called into South Fork to uncover a map. Instead, you can choose to eat apples, die from rat bites, or make a monkey smoke -- all hallmarks of the long-running series.

Dear Topless Robot. Please include stillshots in your lists instead of/with the time-consuming and black screened video. Cheers, me mateys.
I actually enjoy the law and order games, and i could see house being good too, also murder she wrote
The information provided about video games in this site is really very informative as well as a wonder-full collection.
Two of the added accepted colors are atramentous calamus earrings and white stud earrings.This is because these two colors bout appealing abundant annihilationthat you would wish to abrasion for the day. This contributes to theirpopularity. Whatever blush you adjudge on, it will be abiding toattending altered and wonderful.
Feather peacock feather earringswill become a above trend this fall. Vanessa is boho-chic fan, and shechose the amateur feather earringsto accompaniment her boho chichiensembles. feather earringscould be fabricated of calamus of birds suchas peacock, ostrich, parakeet etc. Continued feather earringsare thatthe earrings with continued calamus drops, or the blazon with continuedchains, big gems or added dangling elements busy with calamusembellishments. For example, these earrings are both long, and acceptfeathers, but the longest allocation of the adornment is not a feather.
How did M*A*S*H miss this list?

The only *good* thing about that game was the T-shirt you got for buying it...
I really like the Trauma Center game series, so my mom decided to go out and buy me the House MD game.
Bad idea.
A fishing game is the only thing lamer than a golf game. Except maybe gambling games.
Heathcliff: This was a "Anybody remember pogs?" moment for me. It's got ALF, Bart. Remember ALF? He's back. In pog form.
Gilligan's Island: Game where every character represents a sin? Cool. Game where every level is a FUCKING ESCORT MISSION? Let's put it this way, if the programmers died the minute I died, shooting myself would be so worth it.
House: Must be autoimmune brain disease behind this one. Or painkillers.
Cory in the House: "In the house" is so old. It may have been a rap intro circa 1980. Now it's in the "hip hop memes even white kids in Utah have abandoned" pile. Remember "in the house", Bart? It's back. In Disney sitcom form.
Lost: This could be like Myst but it isn't.
Dukes of Hazzard: Potentially cool. Probably not.
ALF: Remember ALF? He's back. In videogame form. Can I be a meme now?
Murder, She Wrote: TV show based on a sequel to a movie based on a Graham Greene novel. Cool. Or not.
Sopranos: This could be a lot cooler, if there weren't over nine thousand other gangster games out there at the same time.
Desperate Housewives: Oh, come on. You know every single DH fan was either: 1) a woman who wanted to bone Jesse Metcalfe, 2) a man who wanted to bone Jesse Metcalfe, 3) a man or woman whose significant other wanted to bone Jesse Metcalfe and was only watching it to score points, or 4) a man who thought it was a porno in which housewives sleep with UPS guys, pool boys, gardeners, and other menial laborers.
I think all the fan fiction has gotten to your brain. #1 is SAINTS ROW TWO. And if you compare the saints row series to GTA in ANY way (besides genre) you must be stupid.
I remember one of the first games I got for my PS2 was 'Starsky and Hutch' because it was super-cheap. As soon as I got home, I realized why: Instead of an old-fashioned driver/shoot-em-up, it was more concerned about crazy stunts you'd do while chasing and shooting at bad guys because you had to keep the viewers at home interested so they wouldn't tune out lest your ratings drop and you get canceled.
A suggestion for another list: TV Shows that should have spawned good video games but didn't. Starting with Cowboy Bebop, which should have a had a "GTA in Space" game or some casino/poker/dice game pack, but instead it got a shooter on rails and that hideous second game that even the Yoko Kanno soundtrack could not save....
As much as I'm looking forward to seeing the AVGN movie, I'm also looking forward to it being done so the net show can really come back full force. I really loved when he'd do theme shows on subjects like this and really offer a great education on the old days of gaming. Which is just something that I'm assuming doesn't fit into the schedule he has right now when busy with all the stuff on the table.
Number one should have been Home Improvement. There was no reason for that turd to exist. And the King of Queens one shouldn't count, because it's a fan mod and not an official release.
Greys Antomy the GameOnly just surpassed in awfulness by Americas Next Top Model- the gamehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
DESPERATE. FUCKING. HOUSEWIFE?!!
Out of the billions upon billions upon fucking BILLIONS of ideas to put in a game, the one that was put into actual production was DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE?! What, are you running out of ideas, game developer? Are you so starved for money that you can't put your own original idea down, and had to resort to sucking the cock of Network Executives to earn a living, hmm?
Because I got tons of original ideas that you can use to save your jobs without degrading yourself like that. I got game ideas coming out of the ASS! Right off the bat, I can think of an action game where the protagonist uses his detachable penis as a beam sword, a grappling hook, and a cellphone.
NEVER FUCKING MAKE A GAME LIKE DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE EVER AGAIN! CALL ME! I CAN HELP YOU! LET'S DO LUNCH, GODDAMMIT!
Think it kinda hard to call you Ricky when he got his lip stuck around the VPS cocaine covered cock.
The point of the Mr Bean game is to kill Mr Bean, right?
Can we have a list of properties that inexplicably didn't spawn videogames? When I was a kid, I desperately wanted a Gummi Bears videogame, and indeed thought that one was inevitable. But though Capcom adapted every other Disney afternoon cartoon of the time—Duck Tails, Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Tail Spin—they never adapted Gummi Bears.
I think because Gummi Bear preceeded the others. Duck Tails was the first of the Disney half hour lineup. Gummi Bears was off the air by then, I believe.
Yeah, I always figured it was that. But Gummi Bears stayed on the air for a while, and was popular... My only hope is that someone makes such a game now!
Well the Mr. Bean game would be good for little kids to get used to platformers so for the lil kids it aint bad,. however Dallas? WTF?
It was called Benny Hill's Madcap Chase........and I can't believe it didn't make this list
So wait - is there indeed a King of Queens mod for a game?
As I would kinda want that for the hilarity of the concept. So long as all the crazy missions are given to you by Jerry Stiller.
can not believe some one though murder she wrote would be coool as a vidoe game along with the dog whisper this list just proves even game makers have no limits of what they choose to make a game of espically shows like murder she wrote and friends
