My Father's House
Anna
Recovering from a heart attack, a workaholic editor recalls the simple days of his youth. Robertson adds an emotional center to this messy, flashback-filled 'heavy' dramatic piece. Plenty of co-star talent.

Her husband, Pete (Bologna), the head coach of the Phoenix Suns, finds out he can't produce another child.

Guerra Entre Homens e Mulheres
Elderly Woman
Dois peculiares "Manhattanenses" trombam um com o outro no bonito consultório de um oftalmologista. Peter, um rabugento cartunista cuja visão está falhando, e a mãe divorciada Theresa, que também está relutante em mergulhar em um relacionamento agora. Não é amor à primeira vista, até por que ambos estão com as pupilas dilatadas. Peter constantemente satiriza as mulheres em seu cartuns, o que a vendedora de livros Theresa sabe muito bem. Vagamente baseado nos desenhos de James Thurber "A Guerra Entre Homens e Mulheres", e na vida de Thurber, a curiosidade do filme é ter algumas sequências em animação.

The producers of In Search of America never declared outright that the made-for-TV film was intended as a series pilot, but it ends on an ambiguous note with plenty of loose plot ends. In Search of America was first telecast March 23, 1971.
