Hoo boy! NOT a good idea!
Mr. Bill worked as well as it did *because* he was a mushy little clay guy. Doing it as a live-action film makes zero sense.
Also, looking at the text in the Showtime announcement- horrible coincidence, the air date was Sept. 11, 1986, a date that did not age well.
I know that somewhere in the 90s there was a show, I wanna say on cable, that was basically 22 minutes of “Classic Mr. Bill.” I remember it as being decent.
There were packages of Mr. Bill shorts made for TV that were just the SNL shorts and some filler between them, and that went back to the 80s at least.
