Preface On Wednesday, September 8, 1954, at 11:15 p.m. on a local New York City TV station (WCBS, Channel 2) television history was made when Black Forest aired on The Late Show. Black Forest starred Peggy Ann Garner and Akim Tamiroff and it was the first time a movie made specifically for television was broadcast. Over the decades that followed, many thousands of television movies have aired in the United States and this book covers those broadcast from January 2000 through September 2020. TV movies broadcast prior to this date can be found in the book Movies Made for Television by Alvin H. Marill, a pioneer in compiling TV movie information. While 1954 holds the record for introducing the television movie to American audiences, it was not until 1964 when the idea of ­made-​for-​T V films was again introduced and became a steady source of TV entertainment. But producing original movies was not the only means of creating such fare. For example, episodes of various 1950s, 1960s and 1970s TV series were being edited, strung together and ­re-​titled and then released as TV movies. These include: The Pill (from four episodes of Mr. Terrific), Tammy and the Millionaire (from four episodes of Tammy), The Guns of Diablo (from two episodes of The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters), The Far Out West (from four episodes of Pistols ’n’ Petticoats), The Wackiest Wagon Train in the West (from 4 episodes of Dusty’s Trail) and Menace from Outer Space (from four episodes of Rocky Jones, Space Ranger). While the TV movie originated as a syndicated affair (as was the case with 1954’s Black Forest), it soon became a major source of programming for broadcast networks, beginning with ABC, CBS and NBC and gradually emerging as programming fare for basic and premium cable services. As competition became more aggressive for

broadcast and cable channels in the mid–2000s, broadcast networks slowly distanced themselves from producing TV movies while certain cable channels, like Hallmark, Lifetime and Disney, became the new home for such ­made-​f or-​ television movie productions. Encompassing both broadcast and basic cable channels, Television Movies of the 21st Century is a comprehensive guide to what has been broadcast over the past 20 years (2000–2020). It is an alphabetical listing of 1,370 films, in 1,293 numbered entries, aired during this period (movies with sequels or multiple versions have been incorporated under one title for ease of access to the information). Each entry contains the telefilm’s main cast (including character names), technical credits (producer, writer and director), air dates, network and informative, detailed story line information. An appendix, “Announced but Never Produced,” includes basic information on 60 proposed TV movies; a performer’s index concludes the book. The following broadcast and basic cable channels are covered in this volume: ABC, ABC Family, CBS, Disney Channel, Fox, Fox Family, Freeform, Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, INSP, Ion, Lifetime, NBC, Nickelodeon, PAX, Syfy, TBS and TNT. Excluded from the listings are pilot films, individual episodes of movie series, as well as movies made for video/ DVD (also called Direct to Video/DVD). The latter are often picked up by cable stations but not produced originally as TV movies. From the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas movies to the Syfy Channel’s shark attack films, you will find these and everything in between detailed within Television Movies of the 21st Century. The author would like to thank James Robert Parish and Alana Castro for their help in making this book possible.

Chelsea also discovers that many businesses, like her chalet, are failing and many people may lose their jobs.
