 In 1992, New Line Cinema discussed producing a feature film version  of the show with its creator, Alan Spencer (I) (qv) But New Line  wanted the film version to be a parody of  _Lethal Weapon (1987)_ (qv) and its sequels with all new characters.  Spencer passed. New Lines concept then became the basis for  _Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)_ (qv)
