Okay. Right up front, I was basically done with Rita Moreno's character after her first appearance in the series. In this TV movie, she was just tiring.
Yes, the mood was indeed a somber one with this entry. Nevertheless, I did find myself enjoying it (and it was great to see Beth again!).
I bought the DVD box set of the series and the TV movies. Having read the reviews of this movie, I decided to watch all of the movies in reverse order. I thought it would be best to get this one out of the way as quickly as possible., However, I did find this one to be better than expected. At least I had no trouble hanging with it, and yes, ultimately enjoying it.
But oh my, the ending was not something I would ever associate with a Rockford entry.
