A man returns to the past to improve his present time and instead messes it up in this old-fashioned science fiction B movie. The film begins in the year 2073; Nicholas Sinclair, like his other time-travel researchers is dying from a virus. He returns via time warp to 1973 to bring back a defective robot probe. The trouble begins when his colleagues send a probe after him. In the revised present most of the world is being overrun by robots while the human population is being wiped out by a virus. Nicholas is a soldier in the guerrilla army that battles the robots. His wife Natasha is also in the army. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Jason (Alan Thicke) and Maggie (Joanna Kerns) are shocked when the PTA turns down their offer to chaperone a school dance. Apparently, the head of the PTA thinks that the couple is too permissive for the job, but by the time daughter Carol (Tracey Gold) gets wind of the story, she is convinced that her mom and dad have been deemed thoroughly "unacceptable" as parents! Appearing as PTA president Mrs. Hinkley is none other than former Mousketeer and Beach-movie heroine Annette Funicello--a casting coup that passed by without any sort of publicity fanfare when this episode originally aired in 1986. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Lucille Ball stars in this film version of the hit Jerry Herman Broadway musical, which featured an electrifying performance by Angela Lansbury. As Patrick Dennis' plucky and resilient Auntie Mame, Ball's low-pitched, growling moan of a voice (a spine-chilling reminder of the sound of Linda Blair's demon-possession in The Exorcist) and her gaudy and lumbering fashion-horse gait turns Mame into an elderly cross-dresser. In this guise, Mame rehashes the plot from Dennis's novel and the previous non-musical Rosalind Russell film. During the Depression era 1930s, she enrolls her nephew into a liberal private school, tries a turn in show business (with the help of her friend Vera [Beatrice Arthur]), and marries a well-to-do Southern planter (Robert Preston). After her husband's death, Mame concerns herself with her now grown-up nephew, his girlfriend, and the girlfriend's intolerant parents. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
