Heheh, I think another perfect TV- to-movie translation was way-back-when with Star Trek: Wrath of Khan. The absolute essence of the TV show translated to the big screen, and never achieved again despite a slew of subsequent movies.
Interestingly, the New Beverly Theater here in L.A. is running "Wrath of Khan" and "Serenity" as a double feature later this month. I'm going.
