Joseph Dougherty and Dan Farren will join us in our first hour for a roundtable discussion on the made for TV movie — a staple of television for more than four decades (particularly during the era of The ABC Movie of the Week) that has all but disappeared from network TV in recent years. We’ll talk about that, but we’ll also take a look at some of the great Movies of the Week from the 1970s that have stayed with us for one reason or another.

Joseph Dougherty is the Emmy Award-winning writer/producer of such shows as thirtysomething, Saving Grace, and Pretty Little Liars, plus he has also written many TV-movies for network and cable television. Dan Farren is one of the producers of Story Salon, along with Tony Figueroa and Donna Allen; he also reviews movies for SchmoesKnow.com.

Also joining us this week will be Stephen Battaglio, business editor for TV Guide magazine and the author of such books as of David Susskind: A Televised Life, From Yesterday to Today: Six Decades of America’s Favorite Morning ..., and Election Night: A Television History: 1948-2012. Steve will join us in our first hour to help us preview some of the new TV shows that were announced earlier this month at the annual network upfronts.
