Sleepy Hollow TV Show: Is it related to the 1999 movie?

[ReadyAndWilling]

Hi all, I just came across this TV show a few minutes ago as its name caught my eye. I really enjoyed the '99 movie with Johnny Depp.

Could anyone tell me if the TV show is a spin-off from the movie or is it an entirely separate production?

No.

Hi ReadyAndWilling. I just came across this TV show from the early 80s called Reddy and Willing. It was meant to be a vehicle for singer, actress, and feminist icon Helen Reddy. She plays a tough as nails veteran detective who doesn't like to play by the rules, until one day her traditionalist Captain, furious at such roguish behavior from a female cop, partners her with a by-the-book rookie named Karen Willing. As you can probably guess, things don't go so smoothly right out of the gate for this odd couple, and in between the empowering drama there are more than a few hijinks. Sadly, after filming the pilot, the show was not picked up by the big three networks.

Could you tell me if your user name is meant to be an homage to this forgotten feminist procedural classic, put out to pasture before its time, or is it just a bizarre coincidence?

I suppose I could use The Google, but with it being a search "engine" and all, I'm afraid my lack of mechanical know-how would just make me screw up the works somehow, and I don't want to have to call one of the grandkids out to teach me how to use it after the infamous VCR Timer Incident of 1996. I had to bribe the little darlings with Werther's Originals and Butter Mints served out of the good crystal on the coffee table for months after that one, I'll tell you.

Also, we have a dedicated Sleepy Hollow thread already.

What, do you expect him to scroll down the page reading the thread titles or use the search function like some kind of savage? Clearly, the proper course of action for one of his status would be to start a thread asking if there are any threads on the board about Sleepy Hollow, and then let one of the common folk dirty their hands searching for a link.

The short answer is no, they are separate stories.

Why are you so adverse to doing your own research on questions that pop into your mind? Two minutes on wikipeida would have told you that the series is not a spin off of the movie.

The movie and the TV series are entirely separate from each other, but they are both very, very loose adaptations of Washington Irving's famous 1820 story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

Yes. Don't listen to these other guys they don't know what they are talking about, they're all lying to you because of your posting history here. I am telling you the truth.

The TV series is, indeed, a spin-off of the forgettable movie made by Tim Burton 15 years ago. The series has been in development hell ever since that movie slightly scuffed the world-wide box-office in 1999. While the movie was a financial failure in the U.S. producers just felt that the story really "needed more" and decided to push for a TV series.

Alas, time, the television industry, the rise of effects in prime-time TV and all of that wasn't ready in 1999 so it had to wait... Wait until everything was perfect. And, lo, came 2013.

So a TV series was made. Now, granted, the TV series features none of the original actors, no one from the original production, and Tim Burton is as far away from it as he is his mood-disorder drugs. But, rest assured, this TV series is very much connected to the 1999 movie.

I mean, it has to be, right? It's not like the characters and story are centuries old classics or something that has been adapted countless times or anything.

That's why I remain assured that the TV series "Elementary" is connected to the Robert Downey, Jr. movies. Now, obviously, they couldn't get RDJ and Jude Law to do a TV series so they went with that poor-man's Hugh Laurie guy and Lucy Lu and they sort of glossed over the part where Sherlock time-traveled from 1890s England to present-day New York, but whatever. It's connected.

That's why I remain assured that the TV series "Sherlock" is connected to the Robert Downey, Jr. movies.

You're confusing Sherlock and Elementary.

Probably forgot the names of the actors in Sherlock and wasn't about to let that stop him mid-not very funny-rant/joke.

But jeeze, seriously, is this about the 20th thread or so from the OP that could have been solved with google/Wiki inside 2 minutes?

 

[sojourner]

My only guess at this point is the OP's parents have some kind of nanny software on the computer that prevents him from accessing any website but this one.

Damn, that's cruel.

I have seen the series 1 finale of the TV series and I can tell you, but it's huge spoilers....

So far we think they have nothing in common, but it turns out that Johnny Depp shows up in the last few minutes through a vertex and warns all the people that in his timeline he has failed and not everything is what it appears!

And right before he dies he warns that one of the horsemen is actually Jesus who is spying on the devil! But we don't know which one!

 

[Thestral]

The Horseman of Conquest, clearly.
