SynopsisMovies 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. In this loving tribute to the classic series of TV films, more than two hundred films in the series are reviewed, including well-remembered titles such 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, and Killdozer. In addition, choice bits of trivia about the actors and films and exclusive pictures are sprinkled throughout the book. So bit back, relax, and return to a time when the counterculture was in full swing and you could tune in every week for one or more original films made just for you., 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.

  • Fun Read, Scary Cover

    As a child of the 60's and early 70's, The ABC Movie of the week was something I would look forward to watching on my portable Panasonic TV. This book is a blast from the past. It gives the history, then synopsis of all of the the movies from the six seasons the show had during its run, 1969 to 1975. This book was written for those of us who remember the drama, fun, and chills from a period in our lifetime.

  • Forgotten Movies

    For about six years, ABC presented some daring and often quite engaging made for television movies that were reflective of a changing America. Not always art, but entertaining, these films ranged from horror to comedy to dramatic subject matter. This book helps to tell the story by remembering each film in the series. If you remember the movies you will enjoy the book.
