The Exorcist director William Friedkin made a return to the horror genre with this blend of straightforward suspense and Druid myth-inspired horror-fantasy. The idyllic lives of yuppie couple Phil and Kate (Dwier Brown and Carey Lowell) seem complete when they select the winsome young Camilla (Jenny Seagrove) as a live-in nanny for their newborn child, but the lovely young Camilla -- whose natural sexuality begins to work its spell on Phil -- is not what she appears to be. This becomes shockingly apparent to the audience early in the story when she is set upon by a trio of rape-minded thugs who meet with a particularly nasty fate in the woods, but it seems to take the parents much longer to come to the same conclusion. In fact, the woods are the key to the entire equation, as Camilla is revealed to be a powerful forest entity from Druid mythology who intends to sacrifice her infant charge to a hideous tree-god. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of a two-part story, Maggie (Joanna Kerns) receives a major promotion at Channel 19, at the same time that Jason (Alan Thicke) is offered a prestigious new downtown practice. Trouble is, the couple has agreed that at least one parent must stay home to raise the children while the other works. Jason is confident that the kids don't need his help anymore, but a series of catastrophes quickly dispell this notion. Meanwhile, Maggie's future at Channel 19 is jeopardized when the idiotic "improvements" by the station's new PR firm seriously challenge her integrity. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Maggie (Joanna Kerns) has been inordinately touchy and argumentative of late, which she attributes to her frustration over the predominance of males in American society. The limit comes when Jason (Alan Thicke) cluelessly humiliates Maggie in front of her boss Sid (Kenneth Tigar). At this point, Maggie is convinced that she and Jason have grown inexorably apart...or at least that's what she thinks until the real reason for her mood swings is revealed (to everyone's surprise but the audience). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Having quit her job, Maggie (Joanna Kerns) refocuses her "overachiever" ethic upon her home life, cooking huge meals that no one has room for and doling out extra chores for her husband Jason (Alan Thicke) and their kids. Unable to put up with this pressure much longer, the family conspires to get Maggie out of the house and into a new job. This is the episode in which Maggie joins the staff of local TV outlet Channel 19 as field reporter "Maggie Malone", and also the one which introduces Kenneth Tigar as her new boss Sid and Pamela Brull) as her coworker Thelma. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This science fiction thriller was inspired by a mythical real-life event, the WWII era disappearance of an entire naval vessel during a radar-cloaking test. In 1943, David Herdeg Michael Pare and Jim Parker Bobby DiCicco are sailors stationed aboard a Virginia battleship. Their vessel is undergoing an experiment conducted by brilliant scientist Dr. Longstreeet (Eric Christmas), who is attempting to render Allied craft invisible to radar. The ship becomes briefly invisible, but the test is a disaster and most of the crew are horribly killed. However, two crewmen are missing. In 1984, Herdeg and Parker emerge in the Nevada desert, having somehow traveled through time. Longstreet, still trying to perfect the device after 40 years, is running another experiment that pulls the missing sailors into the present. Realizing what's occurred, Herdeg and Parker flee, fearing for their lives. Fugitives, they befriend a skeptical modern woman, Alison Hayes (Nancy Allen). An effect of time pulls Parker back into 1943, leading to a bizarre reunion between Herdeg, still trapped in the future, and Parker, now a senior citizen. The film was followed by a sequel nine years later. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
