Product Description:
Movies made for television were in their infancy when ABC came up with a novel idea: a weekly series of films made exclusively for the small screen. The ABC Movie of the Week became a great success and a cultural touchstone for a generation of Americans.
More than 200 films in the series are reviewed, including such well-remembered titles as Duel, Tribes, The Six Million Dollar Man, Go Ask Alice, Brians Song, The Night Stalker, Bad Ronald, Starsky and Hutch, Trilogy of Terror, That Certain Summer, Killdozer, and many more. In addition, choice bits of trivia about the actors and films are sprinkled throughout the book.
With a Foreword by Denise Nickerson (of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) and commentary by David Hedison (The Fly, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea).

What a great book! I couldn't believe how many of these movies I remembered from my childhood. Some I still look for - like Crowhaven Farm - others I complete forgot until i would see the title and then I would do a silent "whoop" as it caming rushing back. Wish more of these were available on dvd.

I had hoped for a book on the ABC movies of the week for almost 30 years. This slim volume is nice, but hardly comprehensive. There are no photos, limited cast lists, no crew lists, and only 101 pages. The author says some of the films, "really don't merit any further consideration" and you won't find those in this book. With over 200 films to review, the author had to "focus by necessity on (his) favorite films in the series".
Still, this book is a lot of fun, brings back loads of memories, ... Read More

This very short book lists all of the ABC television networks movies of the week from the 1970s. A good number of these are classics that have lodged themselves firmly in the memories of those who were (perhaps rashly) allowed to watch them as impressionable youngsters. If you go to any "What was the name of that movie?" site on the Internet, you'll find a few of these popping up again and again as repeat offenders.
I was hoping for a bit more than what I got in this book. The entries for ... Read More

I got this book as a Christmas present for my son.
He thought it was great and could not believe I found
something like that. It was on Amazon's recommendation.

This is an excellent subject and the book is fine... it's just too short! Longer reviews would be nice but there is a bigger problem... finding these movies! "The Night Stalker/Night Strangler", "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark", "Trilogy of Terror", "Tribes", "Bad Ronald"... okay, these are out there but the majority ov these films don't even come up on Amazon's movie database or any other purchasing outlet! If your like me you'll wanna track 'em all down (even the cheese) and it's going to be hard. I collect ... Read More
