Seeking out a "traditional" home for herself and her unborn child, Murphy (Candice Bergen) seriously considers purchasing an old farm. Talking her coworkers into spending a weekend at the farm, Murphy and company are quickly disillusioned by the lack of proper facilities--to say nothing of the utter boredom. But worse is to come when Murphy's "rustic" neighbors pay a visit, demonstrating beyond question that "Old Fashioned" is merely a state of mind rather than a statement of fact. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Filmed in Alberta, The Gifted One was intended as the pilot for a weekly TV series. The title character, played by Pete Kowanko, is a very young man with remarkable mental and physical powers. Raised from childhood as a modern superman, Pete begins yearning for his roots and accordingly conducts a search for his birth mother. He is then pursued by sinister characters who have their own reasons for preventing Pete from finding out the truth about himself. The whole thing sounds a lot like the 1990s series The Pretender, which managed to get past the pilot stage. Also starring Wendy Phillips, Brandon Call, G.W. Bailey and John Rhys-Davies, The Gifted One was first telecast June 25, 1989. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this Western based loosely on actual events and people, Emilio Estevez stars as William H. Bonney (aka Billy the Kid). Sought for a petty crime in Lincoln County, Billy is taken in by John Tunstall (Terrence Stamp), a British ranch owner seeking to make it in the cattle business. Tunstall employs a group of "regulators," comprised of wayward youths he's gathered over the years, to watch over his ranch; in turn, he teaches them how to read and reforms them into better men. Tunstall's business interests come into conflict with those of corrupt and murderous businessman Lawrence Murphy (Jack Palance), whose widespread connections make him a power to be reckoned with. When Tunstall won't budge from his right to pursue a living, Murphy's henchmen stage an ambush and kill him. This triggers a vow of vengeance from the quick-tempered Billy and his five fellow regulators, who are deputized to serve arrest warrants in the murder. However, when Billy decides to gun down the suspects instead of detaining them, his loyal pals become accessories in a vigilante spree to wipe the territory clean of Murphy and his web of conspirators. Soon, the supposed lawmen are on the run from bounty hunters, henchmen, and government soldiers, from all directions of the compass. This box-office hit also stars Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Dermot Mulroney, and Casey Siemaszko. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

Harry Anderson makes his second appearance in the role made famous in the 1960s by Fred MacMurray in The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places. While working on yet another "miracle" formula, Anderson is talked into briefly trading jobs with his ex-roomate Ed Begley Jr., a research computer. As usual, the professor gets in over his head, and before long he's chased around by all sorts of mysterious characters. The gimmick this time is a "mystery invention" disguised as a tennis ball. The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places first aired February 26, 1989, as a two-hour episode of TV's The Magical World of Disney. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
