Did anyone see this movie last night? It aired on CBS at 9 p.m. I had seen previews for it for weeks and meant to watch it. Sure looked like a good movie, for a change. And I forgot to tape it! I'm hoping CBS re-airs it.

Maybe it wasn't even that good afterall. If any here watched it, please post your thoughts.

I did not watch it Miss Mary because of The Practice. Sorry.

Me either. Sorry, Mary. I was watching L&O:CI and Crossing Jordan, along with hooking up my new surge protector. The old one did its job. It died -- but my computer lived.

Shawn - dang, just read also where Megan Follows had a part in this new movie. She played the wife who ran out on the family. Now that is not the Anne we knew and loved. I'm sure that role was a stretch for the actress.

Mary

Well, darn. I'd have flipped channels and maybe gotten into it had I known she was in it. I saw the listing, but didn't check out the description or anything because I was set on watching the NBC stuff.

What was the movie about anyways?

Did you get to see when she guest-starred on ER?

Shawn - found this on tvguide's website:

Just from the few previews I saw, it looked like a really good movie. Something you'd see on PBS maybe.

Yes I remember when MF was on ER. A very small part if I remember correctly, a friend of Kerry's old girlfriend? The other doc at the hospital? Something like that.

Mary

Yup, that was it. And her character's name was Christy and the other was Kate -- both names inspired by Elizabeth Mitchell's (Dr. Legaspi) own sisters' names.

Darn, that's right. I do remember seeing the previews. I recognized America Ferrera as the starring role in "Real Women Have Curves." Great movie in the way that it portrays a typical Hispanic mother-daughter relationship (at least, based on a few that I've seen). Only problem was that the only other film that I've see the actress who plays the mom in was "Selena." She played Selena's fan club president/killer Yolanda Saldivar.

Sorry, got sidetracked.

Maybe "Plainsong" will rerun during the summer.
