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, Brian's 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).
