The ABC Movie of the Week Companion: a loving tribute to the classic series Books

In association with Amazon.com


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A real trip down memory lane...
Growing up during the seventies, my mom's favorite programs were these ABC Movies of the Week. I often wound up watching the movies with her, if they were somewhat to my liking (surprisingly, there were quite a few horror/thriller varieties). A while back, my mom and I started to discuss some of those old movies, and we got them a bit confused. I found this book online, and it's been a great help. We can read a synopsis or summary, it's a case of, "Oh yeah, I remember THAT one!" My mom particularly loves the book, it really brings back a lot of memories for her.

It's interesting to note how many ABC TV series got their starts as pilot movies run on the ABC Movie of the Week-- The Six Million Dollar Man, Starsky and Hutch, The Rookies, etc.

The format and presentation is well-laid out; with a history and year-by-year listing, and air dates and a summary/synopsis of each movie. The only thing that could "punch it up" would be more graphics-- perhaps a still or shot from selected movies could help. After all, the TV movies were a visual medium.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Oh the Memories!
Being the rabid TV Movie nut I am, this book is a godsend. A short, concise guide to some of my favorite titles from that golden era of TVMs, "The ABC Movie of the Week Companion" also includes some interesting facts about the program, like salaries and ratings, as well as a fun introduction by the lovely Denise Nickerson (who DIDN'T have a crush on Scott Jacoby in the 70s?!?). And I thought I was the only one who remembered "Isn't It Shocking?"!!! A must for nostalgia buffs...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous, Funny Trip Down Memory Lane for Movie Fans
I've been waiting for this book (as, I'm sure, were many others!). I used to watch the ABC Movie of the Week every Tuesday and Wednesday -- it was must-see TV in our house -- and I remember some of them so vividly it's scary (like Karen Black and that horrible killer doll). Since very few of these flicks have been released on video or DVD, this is the next best thing: an entertaining, often very funny, look back at almost all the movies in the series, with lots of trivia thrown in for good measure. The author has done all movie fans a service by getting the stats on these films down in print. A must for any movie-lover's personal library!
