Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTed Movie Spinoffs

Alert reader G.C. asks:

I was sitting here this past Wednesday, watching some sitcom on TV, and the question popped into my head: Could any of the movies riffed by MST have done well as a sitcom? And, if so, which one(s)?

I see a weekly action series starring Ator, the lovely Lisa and wacky sidekick Thong. He’s searching for, I don’t know, the portal to his own dimension so he can go home, something like that. Meanwhile he travels from town to town righting wrongs and battling his evil enemy Zor.
