#Coach (1978) - 5/10
Silly, lukewarm movie that could have been better.

1️⃣ High-schooler #MichaelBiehn (a) sleeps with the new basketball coach (#CathyLeeCrosby), and (b) hypnotises his buddy (#JackDavidWalker) into thinking he's NBA All-Star #SidneyWicks.

2️⃣ The trigger word is #Jabberwocky, btw. It's not the kind of movie where there are consequences for anything that happens. Nope. Truly, the #1970s were a different time!

2️⃣ The story, by #RichardCollins (#Bonanza and #Matlock producer), finds our hero trying to get photos of a scandalous manuscript/memoir. There’s less danger than usual (for this show) but the villain (#LarryDMann) is still excellent; menacing. And the espionage is refreshingly low-key and realistic for a fantasy show.

3️⃣ #CathyLeeCrosby has one standout scene at the start. She is stunning.

📺 My 416th TV episode of 2023.

Tonight in 1980 — #ThatsIncredible debuted on ABC.

#JohnDavidson, #CathyLeeCrosby and #FranTarkenton hosted this proto-reality series about skills, stunts, and unusual talents.

I don't remember much about it, but their hair was unforgettable.
