   It did at least a few.  Off the top of my head, Eando Binder's "I,    
   Robot" was done (twice, in fact - once in the more recent incarnation or    
   TOL), and Cliff Simak's story "Goodnight, Mr. James" was adapted as "The    
   Duplicate Man".   
      
   Larry Niven's "Inconstant Moon" was also a more recent adaptation.
