Ten Live-Action Dramas That Deserve An Animated Spin-Off More Than The X-Files

FOX’s Sleepy Hollow initially seems like a ridiculous premise for a police procedural that might feel more at place as a joke in 30 Rock. However, Sleepy Hollow managed to combine the supernatural with a cop show. Sleepy Hollow didn’t end that long ago, but its final season unceremoniously went out with an embarrassing whimper and a series like this could help remove that sour last impression. Sleepy Hollow was always more invested in the police angle than getting deep into monsters and demons, but the show still featured witches, supernatural entities, and harbingers of the End of Times.

Ichabod Crane and Abbie Mills were the shows heroes, but they worked amongst a much larger department in the FBI. An animated take on these types of stories that perhaps pairs together another time-displaced supernatural character from the times of the American Revolutionary War with a straight-laced FBI agent could recapture the show’s original magic, albeit in a more comedic way. It will be difficult for X-Files: Albuquerque to actually be more humorous than The X-Files’ comedic entries, but that gives an animated Sleepy Hollow spin-off even more appeal since its episodes had a lot less levity in comparison.
