TV Actors... better than the average movie counterpart?

[bluef0x]

I've been watching Lost, OZ, Six Feet Under for a while now. I'm looking at all these new shows and the actors from these shows are starting to appear everywhere. The problem is, I can't picture them being anyone else. They have been such great actors that I still see them as their character. I honestly believe a lot of the TV-series actors are better than the movie actors. However, is this part of a good script/plot/story?

Why don't more TV actors go to the big screen? They are more than qualified. Don't movie stars get paid a bajillion more dollars?

Edit: I suck with polls.
