Talk:Television film

message: There is an ongoing discussion  about how television movies should be named.  The main contention is that whether TV movies should be handled separately and be titled Movie name (TV movie) or treated under the film naming convention.  Please leave comments at the original discussion. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 19:07, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Television movies naming convention 

message: This question concerns a graphic package. I found a few videos on YouTube, and they all seem to have something in common. In this one mini-series open, several stars light up and we go through a screen. Then, we start going down and see the words "CBS", "MINI", and "SERIES". I've been wondering, did the Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday movies have the same open? BTW, here's the link. CBS Mini-Series Open It seems to me that the viewer was at this really cool and really fancy movie theater owned by CBS. It would be called the CBS Theater. I hope this isn't off topic. 71.111.215.224 23:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

message: There were enough things wrong with this article that it began to accumulate a lot of "dead space" in trying to tag everything.  Simplicity argued for the use of the Template:Articleissues.  Many of these issues have been covered in the section above.  However, one disadvantage of this centralizing template is that it fails to give useful information for the tone/essay tags.  In an effort to preserve the criticism, I should point out that the sections previously tagged as requiring cleanup/reading like essays were those entitled Notable Examples and Production & Quality.  I didn't tag these, so I don't know what, precisely, the tagging editor meant.  However, I can assume that the issue is intimately tied to the general lack of references throughout.

message: Why isn't there a nation-by-nation comparison? I've seen made-for-TV movies from England by the BBC and some South Korean ones, too. These all high production values and such. I understand, in America, the made-for-TV film has replaced or become the grindhouse that it is, but in other nations, this isn't the case.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coffee4binky (talk • contribs) 19:04, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

message: should it be mentioned that Conan O'Brian uses fictional made for tv movies as a running gag/skit? - -[The Spooky One] | [t c r] 14:40, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Made for TV movies in other media 

message: I was reading the article about the made for TV Harrison Bergeron film, and noticed that it explicitly called the film a "cable television movie".  To me, this implies that the film likely had themes which were either less accessible or more controversial than ones which would have been broadcast over-air or on "basic cable".  I realise that this may not be the function of the word in the editor's mind when it was used, but I believe I'm not alone in reading this bias into the word.  Should this be elaborated here?  Should the differentiation be dropped entirely?  I currently have no suggestion, and would simply like to bring this up. - BalthCat (talk) 06:37, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

message: "The Day After ... was the subject of much controversy and discussion at the time of its release due to its graphic nature and subject matter" That article describes the reason for controversy and discussion more like how I remember it: "The Day After received a large promotional campaign prior to its broadcast. Commercials aired several months in advance, ABC distributed half a million "viewer's guides" that discussed the dangers of nuclear war and prepared the viewer for the graphic scenes of mushroom clouds and radiation burn victims. Discussion groups were also formed nationwide.[citation needed]" As I remember it, people were saying that the graphic nature had been greatly overhyped (perhaps because the goriest scenes had been cut before airing).

message: There are a few TV movies that were after the weekly series was cancelled. These were Little House on the Prairie and Emergency!. What other shows used the practice? --2601:C8:C001:9AF0:1CFD:23D:5AA3:91F5 (talk) 03:56, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
