The Ricky Bell Story The Day After That's all I can't think of, so I'll add two aired-only-once anniversary shows: Saturday Night Live 15th Anniversary Special from 1990 Conan O' Brien 5th Anniversary Special from 1998 |
The one that immediately leaps to mind is Pursuit (1972), directed by Michael Crichton and based on his book "Binary" (written under the pseudonym "John Lange"). It stars E G Marshall, Ben Gazzara and Martin Sheen and has a Jerry Goldsmith score. AND it's about a terrorist playing a clever and exciting cat-and-mouse game with an agent while his threat is to release a deadly gas into the atmosphere around the Democratic National Convention (or perhaps Republican, I can't recall) being held in California... so it's pretty topical too!
Originally aired on ABC, I have it taped off a late-night broadcast from around 1987. Anchor Bay, are you listening? You released the Kolchak movies, which were also ABC Television properties... It's a GREAT movie. |

1. The Scarlet Pimpernel (1988 - Made-for-television film (originally aired on CBS), starring Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour and Sir Ian McKellen.)
2. 12:01 (1993 - Based on a story by Richard Lupoff (a short filmization of the same story earned an Oscar nomination for 1990), 12:01 centers on a scientific researcher who discovers that the world has become somehow trapped in a strange time warp that causes the same 24-hour period to repeat itself. During the course of that endlessly repeated day, Thompson, the only one who seems to be aware of what's happening, must somehow figure out how to put time back on its normal course and solve the murder of his new lover.) 3. The Day After (1983 - A peaceful Midwestern city attempts to recover after it is destroyed by a nuclear missile strike in this powerful and deeply disturbing testament to the folly of pro-military hawks who believed that annihilation was a justifiable means of attaining power and control. The Day After originally aired on network television. At the end of the broadcast, many stations offered teams of counselors staffing 800 telephone numbers to help distraught viewers calm down.) |
