Original movie when the bough breaks tv#
Here are some of the highlights selected by The Times’s TV critics: Television this year offered ingenuity, humor, defiance and hope. Danson gets off to a nifty start but by fadeout he seems thoroughly winded - quite understandably. Danson and Dan Fauci are the executive producers - tumbling rapidly into ever more unbelievable situations, well larded with car chases, fistfights and even a formidable hypodermic needle. Milo's housemate, for instance, is his male lover, whom he describes as ''every mother's dream, a nice Jewish doctor.'' But the solution to the mystery becomes apparent early on and that leaves the movie - Mr. ''When the Bough Breaks,'' directed by the resourceful Waris Hussein, gets off to a properly taut start as the pieces linking the first child-abuse case and the new murders begin to fall together. A young child witnessed the killings and Alex is needed to get her talking, possibly through hypnosis. Six months later, his good friend Milo Sturgis (Richard Masur), a police detective, recruits a reluctant Alex to help him in a case involving the murder of a prominent psychiatrist and a female friend. But after discovering the defendant dead, an apparent suicide, in his own office, Alex decides he needs a rest. Alex Delaware is ready to testify in a case involving child abuse and pornography. ''When the Bough Breaks'' stars Ted Danson, of ''Cheers,'' as a psychologist specializing in ''behavioral pediatrics.'' When the movie opens, Dr. William Wood's script deals with an elderly woman who is being physically abused by her daughter, who is herself a mother. CBS's ''Circle of Violence'' is a family drama tackling still another social issue. NBC's ''When the Bough Breaks'' is a kind of mystery, its Phil Penningroth script based on a novel by Jonathan Kellerman. AS two of this weekend's new television movies are scheduled against each other, on Sunday at 9 P.M., and as both of them fall apart about halfway through, any decision to watch either will depend on what story genre you might fancy.
