Anihillater was an unsold pilot, it was a mix of The Terminator and Invasion of the Body Snatchers as humans are replaced by terminator type robots.

Mr & Mrs Ryan was an Aaron Spelling pilot.

Sharon Stone & Robert Desiderio (Mr Judith Light) were the stars.

A detective investigates crimes with the help of his socialite wife.

My Two Loves the ABC Monday movie was groundbreaking for the time-A widowed mother's (Mariette Hartley) boyfriend (Barry Newman) and mother (Sada Thompson) are confused by her romance with another woman (Lynn Redgrave).
