Book Reviews of The ABC Movie of the Week Companion: a loving tribute to the classic series
Book Review: A real trip down memory lane...
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
