Oh, this is an interesting pick because for a minute I had a similar line of thought and I was tempted to mention Manimal... But I'm not sure if more than 20 persons even remember it existed.

A Scrubs game would have been awesome. Half Trauma Center, half Yakuza antics and mini-games.
Damn, a persistent online game where you can only play in real time and gotta bunk your character when offline....IP fits!24
Bonus if they can work amnesia and cougar attacks into the mechanics
I'm still shocked we have not seen a really great games based on these 2 legendary IPs..
and an honorable mention for a show that would definitely be a good game...
Nah, the OG supernatural procedural show!
though maybe this was the OG, but I've never seen it..
Then again, with some proper boob physics, THIS would be the tv game adaptation to take the world by storm!

Trollhunters... and yes, I'm aware of that shitty game that exists, but it could've been so much better.
Also Bright (I know that's a movie, but imo also it would be a way better TV series).

Get Smart - A comedy show about a secret agent. Kind of late for it as it premiered nearly 60 years ago.
P.S. Twin Peaks would have been a good one.

The only thing I've ever wanted since I was like 4 years old are good MOTU, Gi Joe and MASK games. I mean, there are games of all three IP, (yes even MASK) but they all suck, save for one of the NES GI Joe games, if memory serves, or they both might've been good?Damn, a persistent online game where you can only play in real time and gotta bunk your character when offline....IP fits!

I was a huge fan of Sliders back in the 90s. The general concept was that the group had a device that allowed for travel to a parallel world where something went differently in history and the world changed accordingly. The device that allowed for travel had been damaged so they lost their home coordinates and couldn't control their "slide". So when they arrived in a new world they had a random amount of time to survive in the world before they could leave. Hijinks and drama ensued.
I'm not entirely sure what genre would be best. Probably a narrative adventure game like Life is Strange. But if we're shooting for the moon I could also imagine a game that was capable of generating random worlds based on alternate history that you have to navigate. Like a massive rogue-like game where you aren't starting over every time you die but instead have to figure each world out in order to leave.

Quantum Leap would have made for an incredible, episodic story adventure game in the vein of TellTale.

You can make this into many genres from MOBA to action game to deck builder or GAAS brawler.

Prison Break.
Every day you have a limited amount of time in certain area's (like 15 min in the courtyard or 30 min in the canteen) to prepare for your escape, without the guards spotting you planning this. You have to escape before you get moved to death row.
Now what an original idea for a game you might think, but no. There has been a game like this already:

Was actually being worked on by The Pittbulll Syndicate after Test Drive : Overdrive. But after the Midway buy out it was just lost on the shift over and I was on my way out anyway at the time.
Turned into LA Rush from what I heard as Midway was just demanding we make Need for Speed Underground.

Telltales episodic. like the wallace and gromit/batman stuff
Get Grant and Naylor to write them and get the cast to voice it. Robert Llewellyn would be so happy he wouldn't have to wear the costume!
I literally just pulled this idea out of my arse and OH MY GOD I NEED IT TO HAPPEN!

I forgot to mention the 60's Batman series. Perfect setting and theme for a game. Absolutely no subversive writing with joker mass-murdering people as a joke, give it the level of violence the original show had with the pow, ker-slop, whap and biff sound effects on screen when they engage in fisticuffs with the henchmen.

The first Buffy game on the OG Xbox immediately comes to mind, it is still the best 3D brawler that I have ever played! Twin Peaks would be a good one even though Alan Wake & Deadly Premonition exist. One that I've always wanted was a Tales from the Crypt game! I think both Eternal Darkness & The Dark Pictures Anthology are probably the closest to it.

Was going to say Stargate as well. That could be pretty cool I think.
Already exists on PS2.
