Excuse me for being frank, but isn't the purpose of all TV shows to get ratings, which in turn warrants advertising sales, which in turn brings in money? 
All TV shows are based on money. A lot of TV shows are based on the writers artistic vision, and they just want other people to watch it. Of course they want to make money from it, becuase its their job. If Scarface were made into a TV series, it wouldnt be becuase it was someones good idea, it would be because a TV company commisioned a writer to make a shoot-em-up Scarface TV series. And I just dont think that THAT will do the film justice.
