Bruce Dern is ideally cast as Lander, a crazed Vietnam veteran, in Black Sunday. Lander joins terrorists Dahlia (Marthe Keller) and Fasil (Bekim Fehmu) in a plot to create a bloodbath at the annual Super Bowl. Piloting the ubiquitous Goodyear blimp, Lander is to ram the aircraft into the capacity Orange Bowl crowd, then fire thousands of poisoned darts into the fleeing spectators. Israeli military officer Kabakov (Robert Shaw) struggles to thwart Lander's plan before it comes to fruition. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Venerable movie star Glenn Ford (Torpedo Run) made a brief leap into television for this one-season drama on CBS - a hybrid contemporary western-police drama that debuted in late September 1971. The action unfurled in picturesque Madrid County, California, where dependable sheriff Sam Cade (Ford) reigned. Four additional officers supported Sam in the line of duty: the weathered and seasoned deputy J.J. Jackson (Edgar Buchanan), plus three less-experienced deputies - Arlo Pritchard (Taylor Lacher), Rudy Davillo (Victor Campos) and Pete (Peter Ford, Glenn's son). The sheriff's office benefited from the presence of a Native American female police dispatcher. Actress Sandra Ego (as Joannie Little Bird) initially occupied the role, but producers replaced her with Betty Ann Carr (as Betty Ann Sundown) early in the course of the run. Cade and co. spent episodes pursuing criminals and wielding the long arm of the law in Madrid. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, this failed to connect with viewers, and following a single scheduling shift in the late summer of 1972 that did nothing to boost ratings, the program folded in early September of that year, not quite twelve months after it premiered. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Maura Tierney graduates from recurring actor to series regular in the role of OB nurse Abby Lockhart, who begins her first ER rotation during an outbreak of the flu. Elizabeth Corday (Alex Kingston) is less than enthused when her highly judgmental mother breezes into town. Benton (Eriq La Salle) and Romano (Paul McCrane) verbally duke it out over a tricky case. Carter (Noah Wyle) tries to aid a youngster afflicted with muscular dystrophy. And the evening yields two cases of illegal injections: One by the mother of a patient, the other by a patient himself. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Given the title Foster and Laurie and the added fact that the protagonists are two cops, one might deduce that this TV movie was the pilot for a potential series. Not this time: The two leading characters are killed almost before the opening credits fade! In flashback, the film traces the law-enforcement careers of African American Gregory Foster (Dorian Harewood) and Italian American Rocco Laurie (Perry King). Friends as well as partners, Foster and Laurie endeavor to improve community relations in their crime-ridden Lower East Side precinct--which results in their being murdered by three militant extremists, who hope to intimidate the rest of the force (at the time the film was made, this motivation for the crime was still pure speculation). The killings have the opposite effect, as the rest of department rallies against its enemies, inspired by the memory of their fallen comrades. Foster and Laurie was based on the book by Al Silverman. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

It has been nearly a year since drug kingpin Bogota was killed in the episode "Love, Hate, and Sporty James", but the million dollars that Bogota had on him when he died is still missing. Hunter (Fred Dryer) and McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) suspect that the money was stolen by street hustler Sporty James (Garret Morris), the man who helped them mete out justice to the drug lord. Trouble is, a bunch of Colombian tough guys also think that Sporty has the dough, and they're willing to kill him to get it back. In an ironic turn of events, Sporty ends up being charged with the murder of one of the Colombians, prompting Hunter to call in a number of favors from the Underworld to find the real trigger man. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

He finds a connection between the victim and the case of Joey Fiorello (Anthony Ponzini), a police detective serving a prison term for allegedly stealing the evidence in a drug case; and Aaron Fisk (Tige Andrews), a respectable businessman, and Fisk's son Max (Stephen Macht). The Fisks never crossed paths with the detective in his work, but the lieutenant discovers a very personal reason they have for wanting to destroy the officer. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
