Info

The ABC Weekend Special is a weekly 30-minute anthology TV series for children that aired Saturday mornings on ABC from 1977 to 1997. It featured a wide variety of stories that were both live-action and animated. Similar to both the ABC Afterschool Special and The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie that had started five years previous, the ABC Weekend Special differed in that it was primarily aimed at younger viewers following ABC's Saturday Morning cartoon lineup, whereas the ABC Afterschool Special was known for its somewhat more serious, and often dramatic storylines dealing with issues concerning a slightly older teen and pre-teen audience. With the debut of the ABC Weekend Special, some of the early ABC Afterschool Specials that had been targeted towards younger viewers were subsequently repackaged and re-run instead as ABC Weekend Specials.

Weekend Special Audience Reviews

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
