Freedom Fighter (1988) TV Movie

The made-for-TV "Freedom Fighter" is set in the divided Berlin of 1961. Tony Danza plays an idealistic American GI whose sweetheart is among those stranded in East Berlin by the erection of the Wall; he vows to help as many Easterners as possible escape to the freedom of the West. Other cast members include Sid Caesar as a philosophical holocaust survivor and David McCallum as a martinet Communist military officer. The film was lensed in West Berlin, one year before the Wall was bulldozed into oblivion. The script for "Freedom Fighter" was loosely based on "The Berlin Wall", a book by Pierre Galante. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Welcome Home, America! - A USO Salute to America's Sons and Daughters (1991) (TV)

A broadcast of a concert honoring the United States armed forces and fifty years of service by the USO. This is a great document featuring speeches by former presidents and their men combined with some wonderful musical performances. You'll see Dick Cheney and Colin Powell all smiles as they stand shoulder to shoulder waving to the black tie audience. Also, a standout gospel performance from Miss Sandi Patty, a definite high point. Tom Selleck, a great American, handles the hosting duties initially and Tony Danza brings it home with some enthusiastic tap dancing. Believe it.

Hudson Street (1995) TV series

Theme Song: "People say that love will stay Maybe today's the day This time it just feels right Maybe tonight's the night Now it may seem impossible But I'm ready to take the chance I believe lovers stars are uncrossable Because I've moved my share of rubber tree plants. People say that love will stay, Maybe today's the day."

Murder Can Hurt You (1980) TV Movie

Spoof of TV crime dramas. Someone is murdering all the great detectives and cops, and it's up to the remaining few to find the killer and stop him. Very, very, very corny. Some of the worst spoofs ever.
