Parenthood (1990) TV series

From the feature film of the same name, this is a young Ed Begley, Jr. in the role immortalized by the great Steve Martin. Perhaps the success of the movie made this version appear diluted. It's short run was undeserved as this was a wonderful portrayal of an extended family and the casting has proven to be near perfect.

Velvet (1984) TV Movie

Under the guise of owners of a popular worldwide franchise of aerobic centers a female team of government agents match wits with a group of criminals who have kidnapped a top defensive specialist and his ailing son, intending to sell him to the highest bidder.

This is a GREAT movie, unlike any other despite what you may think. It's obsessed with 2 things; aerobics and triangles.

House on Greenapple Road (1970) TV Movie

"House on Greenapple Road" was an off-length TV movie (135 minutes instead of the usual 100), first telecast on The ABC Sunday Night Movie on January 11, 1970. Christopher George heads a stellar cast as Lt. Dan August, probing a homicide case in suburbia. The accused, a meek clerk (Tim O'Connor), had plenty of motive to kill his faithless wife (Janet Leigh). Only there's no weapon...and no corpse. After a series of revelatory flashbacks, August deduces that there may be a lot more people and issues involved than a missing housewife. Audience response to "House on Greenapple Road" was positive enough to spin off into a Dan August TV series. But Christopher George was too busy to be involved, so the role of August went to a fellow who wasn't working all that often; a guy named Burt Reynolds, or something like that. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
