Stonestreet: Who Killed the Centerfold Model? (1977)
Yes, that Stonestreet name on this indicates that this was intended to be a series, so this is another back door pilot that was burned off as a TV movie — it aired as the NBC Movie of the Week on January 16, 1977 — and was released in the UK on DVD as part of […]
Ants (1977)
Guerdon Trueblood, who wrote this, really had quite the resume. The grandson of General Billy Mitchell, the founding father of the U.S. Air Force, he was a dependable writer for TV as well as writing and directing The Candy Snatchers. You can also check out a few other TV movies he wrote like The Savage Bees, SST Death […]
MILL CREEK BLU RAY RELEASE: I Dream of Jeannie The Complete Series
I Dream of Jeannie was created and produced by Sidney Sheldon* and it seems like for a long time, he was the only person that believed in it. He originally wanted the first season to film in color — it was one of only two shows on NBC at the time not in color, but […]
Beyond the Bermuda Triangle (1975)
Also known as Beyond This Place There Be Dragons and wow, what a high minded title for a TV movie — this movie is all about Fred MacMurray as a yacht sailing daddy who falls for a gold digger who actually loves him, including a long speech about the first time they made love and how […]

Camp Cucamonga (1990)
This movie knows my weaknesses and exploits them. TV movies. Summer camp romps. Movies with stars of network television. Marvin Schector (Cheers star John Ratzenberger) has opened up a new summer camp, a place where his daughter Ava (Jennifer Aniston) has a job for the summer and meets cut with a tough kid named Roger played […]
The Couple Takes a Wife (1972)
Jeff and Barbara Hamilton (Bill Bixby and Paula Prentiss) lose their maid and decide that if they’re both so busy, they should just get another wife because it’s 1972. And yet in the midst of porno chic, their new wife Susan Silver (Valerie Perrine) is only shown to be fleetingly romantic with Jeff and not […]
Pandora’s Clock (1996)
Based on the book Pandora’s Clock by John J. Nance, this movie draws on the author’s experiences as a Braniff Airlines pilot by telling the story of a deadly virus on a Boeing 747-200. The governments of the world have left the passengers — including Ambassador Lee Lancaster (Robert Guillaume) — to die, but Captain […]
Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again (1990)
The adult side of Archie isn’t new — despite what series like Riverdale would have us think — as this movie has the comic book hero coming back home fifteen years after graduation. In England, where they’d have no context for the comic, it was called Weekend Reunion. Dick Lowry also directed several of the Kenny Rogers Gambler movies […]
Any Second Now (1969)
Gene Levitt wrote and directed The Phantom of Hollywood as well as creating Fantasy Island. Here, he’s making a kinda sorta pre-Argento giallo in which Paul Dennison (Stewart Granger) tries to kill his wife Nancy (Lois Nettleton) but ends up giving her amenesia instead. The problem? The amnesia she gets could go away at any time […]
