In this critically acclaimed motion picture, John Lithgow (Footloose, Terms of Endearment) and Mary Beth Hurt (Interiors, The World According to Garp) star as the anguished parents of a severely premature infant. Everything seems to be perfect in Wendy (Mary Beth Hurt) and Neil's life (John Lithgow) - they have a new house and a baby on the way - until one night, Wendy is rushed to hospital and doctors are forced to deliver her baby prematurely. The baby, weighing just 20 ounces, is born severely brain damaged and handicapped. Doctors initially hold out little hope of the baby surviving the week. But when the baby, Katie, is transferred to a specialist unit, a pediatrician suggests that there is a good chance that the baby can survive and recover from some of its illnesses. watch

Cheers: Hurt So Good

Cheers to John Hurt for reminding us of his talent with a pair of Memorial Day weekend roles. The versatile British actor can be seen as demented professor "Ox" Oxley in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and as buttoned-down ex-Secretary of State Warren Christopher in HBO's Recount (opposite another gifted Englishman, Tom Wilkinson, as Republican counterpart James Baker). Hurt has always moved easily between small and big screens, making his name on TV as Quentin Crisip in The Naked Civil Servant and Caligula in I, Claudius before earning Oscar nominations for Midnight Express and The Elephant Man. If he wins an Emmy for his stellar HBO work, there'll be no need for a recount.• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more

"The Discarded"

Tonight's episode is the fourth and last of the six that were produced that ABC intends to run. (All six will be seen in Canada, at least, on the cable channel Space, starting in November). And it was the episode a number of viewers were most eager to see, I suspect, since it was based on a short story by Harlan Ellison, who has established himself as a major figure in both fantastic fiction (among other sorts of prose) and in screenwriting, as well as being responsible for some notable comics scripting and work in other media. Apparently Ellison gave executive producer Keith Addis strong support when they resisted the attempts by ABC to call the series "Masters of Sci-Fi," which would be comparable to calling its Showtime sibling series Masters of Horror something like "Masters of Spookiness" (ABC chose to slip "scifi" into the URL for the series' pages on abc.go.com, anyway... perhaps the smallest of many hostilities the network has shown toward this project). And the story was ad... read more
