Duel...Tribes...The Cat Creature...
The Six Million Dollar Man...
Gidget Grows Up...Go Ask Alice...
Wonder Woman...Brian's Song...
The Night Stalker...The Point...
Kung Fu...When Michael Calls...Killdozer
That Certain Summer...Bad Ronald...
Starsky & Hutch...Trilogy of Terror...
Call Her Mom...and many more!
