The crash of a private jet exposes a heroin-smuggling operation based in Mexico. The Angels head south of the border -- Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) posing as a vacationing schoolteacher, Jill (Farrah Fawcett-Majors) as a swimming instructor, Sabrina (Kate Jackson) as a stewardess -- to get the goods on the smugglers. Their main target is a drug kingpin known as Escobar, whom no one has ever seen, and thus could be any one of the episode's main characters (except, of course, the Angels). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The made-for-TV Good Against Evil might not have existed had not The Exorcist shown the way three years earlier. Dack Rambo and Elyssa Davalos star as sweethearts Andy Stuart and Jessica Gordon. The course of true love is messed up when Satan claims Jessica as his own personal property. Desperately, Andy turns to a pair of priests, Fathers Kemschler (Dan O'Herlihy) and Wheatley (John Harkins), for spiritual guidance, not to mention a bit of brute force in purging poor Jessica of her demons. Jimmy Sangster's screenplay doesn't miss a trick, nor does the spooky direction by Paul Wendkos. When first telecast on May 22, 1977, Good Against Evil ran 72 minutes; syndicated prints have been expanded to 97 minutes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A resourceful teenage super-sleuth finds her investigative skills put to the ultimate test as director Andrew Fleming and screenwriter Tiffany Paulsen revive the character originally made famous by author Carolyn Keene. Upon leaving her quaint hometown of River Heights and arriving in Los Angeles with her father, Carson (Tate Donovan), precocious small-town teen Nancy Drew (Emma Roberts) enrolls in Hollywood High and discovers just how different life on the West Coast really is. A true original in the land where Rodeo Drive dictates what's "in" at any given moment, Nancy stands apart from the pack as much for her penny loafers as for her sincere, non-acerbic attitude and keen study skills -- all of which make the non-ironic goody two-shoes an object of scorn for fashion-conscious mean girls Inga (Daniella Monet) and Trish (Kelly Vitz). Concerns about how to fit in soon take a back seat to more pressing issues, however, when Nancy, having previously promised her worried father that she would give up sleuthing, stumbles across a series of clues that may lead her to find out what caused the death of beautiful Hollywood movie star Dehlia Draycott -- who perished years ago under particularly mysterious circumstances. Upon discovering that she and her father are currently residing in the very same mansion that Draycott once called home, the prospect of solving one of Hollywood's biggest mysteries simply proves too tantalizing for the brilliant young detective to resist. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Tim Conway and Don Knotts, mere supporting characters in the original Apple Dumpling Gang, are promoted to starring roles in the 1979 sequel The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again. Once more cast as clumsy, soft-hearted western outlaws, Conway and Knotts come to the rescue of cavalry private Tim Matheson. The villain, lieutenant Philip Pine, is undermining the authority of Matheson's commander Harry Morgan, and Matheson wants to find out why. Featured performers include Jack Elam as Big Mac and Ruth Buzzi as Tough Kate. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The catalyst of this story is a little girl named Jamie (Kaleigh Krish), who is trapped in a deep well. In his efforts to rescue the child, a man named Dewey (David Graf) has himself been killed. Performing the autopsy on Dewey, is Dr. Ivan Kroneberger, a cynical, embittered man with no faith in either God or humanity. Monica (Roma Downey) and Tess (Della Reese) encourage Kroneberger to "read" Dewey's body for clues as to how the dead man lived, and why he was willing to give up his life for another person--a most unusual anatomy lesson that may well prove to be the redemption of the doctor, and the salvation of the still-entombed Jamie! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
