A personal favorite of mine is 1978's Rainbow, the story of Judy Garland's early years, starring Andrea McArdle as Judy, Piper Laurie as Ethel Gumm, Rue McClanahan as Mrs. Ida Koverman, and Moosie Drier as Mickey Rooney. Directed by Jackie Cooper. This is on Tubi now, but I used to watch it in multiple parts on grainy YouTube videos.

I love the made-for-tv with Stephanie where she played a Russian Olympic gymnast who falls in love with an American track and field athlete played by David Keith during the Moscow Olympics. Of course, the U.S. wound up boycotting the Moscow Games and the idea of a Russian gymnast in the late 1970s having actually gone through puberty didn't give the film much credibility in the long run.

The original "V" really was something the first time it was broadcast. The special effects were top-notch for the time, the storyline, echoing a fascist state/German final solution with neighbors turning on neighbors and family snitching on family... and then that scene where Diana eats the hamster!
No one saw that coming and the whole show shifted into "classic".

[quote] Cruel Doubt, featuring a young GOOP
I remember that one and years later, I read the Joe McGinnis book that the mini-series was based on. There was another TV movie about the Lieth Von Stein murder called Honor Thy Mother was based on the book Blood Games by journalist Jerry Bledsoe. I wouldn't be surprised if streaming service did a mini-series or movie on the Lieth Von Stein murder. Many of the people who followed the Murdaugh case would probably eat up a mini-series or movie on the Von Stein/Pritchard family because Lieth was a wealthy southern businessman who was saddled with brat step-kids.
There were some rivalries back in the 80s and 90s with broadcast networks when it came to the "based on a true story" movies. The networks would scramble to get their TV movie out first which led to the multiple Amy Fisher and multiple Menendez brothers movies.
There was the Gregory K case in the mid 90s. Gregory Kingsley was a foster kid in Florida who went to court to divorce/terminate the rights of his biological parents in order to be adopted by his foster family. The case got a lot of media attention and the courts granted Gregory K's wishes . Two TV movies ended up being made about the case.

LOVING this! Patty wears oversized clothes in a vain attempt to make her look fat. Conchata Ferrell is her friend who's happy with her weight, and Barbara Feldon (in a heinous '70s perm) is her neurotic skinny friend who relies on "uppers" and "downers."
But the best is Betty White as the cunty leader of "Calorie Counters Anonymous" ("I used to be a PORKER," she announces with a sweet smile, caressing her firm hips), who makes a fat member who didn't lose weight that week wear an actual pig mask ("It's piggy-piggy time!").

I understand they cast Mike Farrell and Levar Burton to show that "nice guys" can be batterers too, but neither of them is convincing, Mike in particular. Howard Duff pulls it off as a mean alkie.

I would not describe it as "fun to watch," but despite its awful and misleading title, this is one of the most moving, best written and best acted TV movies I've ever seen. It's about a man who begins to suspect, after his young wife dies in a car accident, that her son from her previous marriage may not be her son at all. Steven Weber and Katherine Helmond are both great in it, and so is the young actor playing the boy. Well worth watching.

My favorite Susan Lucci tv movie is Between Love And Hate. Susan plays a wealthy woman who has an affair with a 19 year old tennis instructor from her country club.

What is a TV movie from 1970 - 1974 (?) where some blind guy regains his sight at the end by strangling a brunette woman named Olive?

R281. It was called “I Strangled Olive”. Go watch it, Mary.

A Diva's Christmas Carol starring Vanessa Williams and Kathy Griffin.
V. Williams plays a pop star (Scrooge) on tour (Heartquake sounds like an actual hit song). Kathy plays the narrator.
Vanessa is so good at playing this bitchy character, you believe that's her real personality.

One of my favorites, and I believe it's on YouTube, but I can't remember the name of it. This group of people went camping and cave exploring. Then a sun erruption or a disease killed most everyone. They came out of the woods to find the world had pretty much ended. Someone find that for me.

I have a DVD of A Diva's Christmas Carol and I watch it a couple of times around the holidays.

Strangers from 1979. I watched this today in honor of Gena Rowlands. Bette won an Emmy for this.
