In the tradition of The Osbournes and The Anna Nicole Show, this cable series took us behind the scenes in the life of perennial game show host Chuck Woolery. The series' title was drawn from a Top 40 rock song penned by Woolery in 1968 when he was a member of the singing group Avant Garde. On each episode, Chuck talked, laughed, cooked, worked, interacted with his family, and waxed nostalgic over his showbiz past, which included a stint as Mr. Dingle on the kiddie series The New Zoo Revue and seven years as host of the original network version of Wheel of Fortune. The brainchild of Game Show Network programming head Bob Boden, Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned debuted on June 17, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The old axiom "Everything old is new again" was seldom truer than on February 17, 1997, when the Monkees, the four mop-topped Beatles clones who starred in their own popular musical-comedy series of the 1960s, were reunited in the 60-minute special Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees. Returning for more monkeyshines (albeit the middle-aged variety) were Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, and Michael Nesmith, who also wrote and directed the special. The fragmentary storyline finds the Monkees re-forming the act after thirty years, then preparing to perform at a posh country club. Of the supporting cast, only Chuck Woolery, who plays the boys' manager,and footballer Joe Greene, playing a security guard, could be described as "name" performers. The musical highlights include the theme song for the original Monkees' series, as well as "You and I", "Circle Sky", "Antarctica", "Regional Girl", and a closing medley of Monkees' hits. Telecast in stereo, Hey, Hey It's the Monkees originally aired on February 17, 1997, as a lead-in to ABC's coverage of the 11th annual American Comedy Awards. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

- 1978
The made-for-TV Guide for the Married Woman was conceived by screenwriter Frank Tarloff as an "answer" to his frolicsome 1968 theatrical feature Guide for the Married Man. If the sequel isn't quite as much fun as the original, it may be because what was deemed "risque" in 1968 was kid's stuff in 1978. In her TV-movie debut, Cybill Shepherd plays a bored housewife who yearns for romance and excitement. With the help of a steady stream of celebrity guest stars, Shepherd is able to fantasize about extramarital hijinks to her heart's content. The supporting cast includes such luminaries as Peter Marshall, Eve Arden, John Beradino, John Byner, Bill Dana, Bonnie Franklin, George Gobel, Tom Poston, Barbara Feldon and Chuck Woolery (the guest-star list of the original Guide for the Married Man included Art Carney, Jack Benny, Lucille Ball, Carl Reiner, Terry-Thomas, Joey Bishop and Jayne Mansfield: guess which film had the bigger budget?) Guide for the Married Woman originally aired October 13, 1978. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Released under a variety of titles, Evil in the Deep is set in Jamaica. Scuba diver Hugo Graham (Stephen Boyd) searches for sunken treasure in the waters of the Caribbean. Ah, but there's a fly in the ointment: a very big, grey fly, known as a killer shark. Made before Jaws, Evil in the Deep went nowhere until its late-1970s re-release--at which point its producers were accused of trying to rip off the Spielberg film. Others in the cast include Cheryl Stopelmoor (before she became Cheryl Ladd), and Chuck Woolery. Chuck WOOLERY????? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
