Can't Hurry Love (1995) TV series

A show about friends who live and work in New York City. Sound familiar?



The interesting thing about this show isn't the premise, (ho-hum) but the pedigree. Sherman, Fass-Palmer, Widdoes, Wendkos, Hartigay. All showbiz big shots now, but it didn't help this show then. The title screen is a lovely shot of the Twin Towers, gone but never forgotten.

Cry for Help, A: The Tracey Thurman Story (1989) TV Movie

Tracey Thurman was a real-life Connecticut housewife who, throughout her marriage, suffered horrendous abuse at the hands of her husband. The beatings culminate in a single bloody night when Buck Thurman stabs his estranged wife 13 times. She survives--barely--and Buck is arrested. Having failed to get proper protection from the local police force, Tracey successfully sued the officers in 1989. The long-range result was the Thurman Law, which called for mandatory arrests in wife-beating cases in Connecticut and several other states. Nancy McKeon, who plays Tracey Thurman in A Cry for Help, starred in the film in the hope that it would prevent Buck Thurman's early release from prison. A Cry For Help: The Tracy Thurman Story first aired on October 2, 1989; Thurman was scheduled for release in 1991. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
