TV one-offs, specials, pilots, TV movies etc in my collection
by Thor-Delta | created - 06 Apr 2014 | updated - 12 Apr 2017 | PublicTelevision one-offs (such as specials, unsold pilots, TV movies etc) that are in my DVD and/or Blu-ray collection, as well as programs for which I have digital copies.
Please note that, while I have viewed most of the things on this list, I haven't viewed all of them. (Note: I had removed "What Now, Catherine Curtis" and "Happy Anniversary and Goodbye" because the disc broke. I have since acquired a new copy.)
The list is slightly incomplete because some of the TV one-offs in my DVD collection aren't listed on IMDb. (for example, "ABBA Special" from 1978, etc).
