	Television movie Summary
		Television movies had certainly matured since their introduction in 1964; indeed, some critics argued that one was more likely to find rewarding drama on television than at the movie theater.
		A television movie (also known as a TV film, TV movie, TV-movie, feature-length drama, made-for-TV movie, movie of the week (MOTW or MOW), single drama, telemovie, telefilm, or two-hour-long drama) is a film that is produced for and originally distributed by a television network.
		Some TV movies are notoriously melodramatic, with soap opera style plots; typical plots associated with the genre include "disease of the week" movies or films about domestic violence.

	Women of Enron blast television movie \| Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
		Among the CBS movie's supposed truths was that Enron's trading floors, offices and hallways were teeming with surgically enhanced bimbos clad in skintight microskirts.
		It was ludicrous for the movie to portray the company's women as "big-boobed bimbos who moved up the ladder by sleeping with their bosses," she said.
		The movie's unflattering image of Enron employees will make it harder for those still out of work to find jobs and even present hurdles for those who found work to do their jobs, she said.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Time Lord
		The Time Lords are a fictional alien race portrayed in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, of which that series' main character, the Doctor, is a member.
		Time Lords are so called because they are able to travel in and manipulate time through technology to a far greater degree than any other civilization.
		The Time Lords' ability to change species during regeneration is referred to by the Eighth Doctor in relation to the Master in the television movie, and is supported by Romana's regeneration scene in the 1979 serial Destiny of the Daleks.

	health-Wild Orchid
		Frequently given short shrift as a blue movie (which it is) and as mindless (which it isn't), director Adrian Lyne's follow-up to Flashdance (insert own joke here) is a thoughtful, smutty film about a bad sexual relationship.
		Finally bought it by pure chance and it was the movie I had been looking for, for years.
		I didn't find this movie insulting to women or perverted, it's just a sexy film about people who enjoy sex and there is nothing wrong with this.

	Representations of Gays and Lesbians on Television
		In her article "Gay Activists and the Networks", Kathleen Montgomery discusses the process involved in creating a made-for-television movie that featured a gay character in a prominent role.
		Montgomery concludes that "these requirements served as a filter through which the issue of homosexuality was processed, resulting in a televised picture of gay life designed to be acceptable to the gay community and still palatable to a mass audience."
		Though mainstream television and movies continue to "sanitize" the portrayal of gay and lesbian life, specialty and pay-TV channels have begun to show more cutting-edge, controversial and critically acclaimed series about gays and lesbians.
