Uneven, overall did not work
4 September 2021
This was a nice idea, and with the right script and ensemble, could have been very nice. But, with Larry Hagman committed to "Dallas," and with an ending that made no sense, it's really a collection of good vignettes poorly connected to each other.

The revised musical intro was a nice combination of classic and 1980's, and there are very nice scenes with Eden and her in-character son. Wayne Rogers turns a very nice effort as Anthony Nelson.

But, despite some delightful moments, overall TV movie failed at the end due to an entirely needless plot twist that served no overall purpose. Ultimately, when second made-for-TV movie was made, it ignored this poor plot twist, which is really its ultimate indication of how bad it was.
