Audience Member Deadbeat Dad reenters his son's life after eight years when their mother commits suicide. Quite predictable TV movie but generally works because the characters are all believable. Hal Linden seems right for this part. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Deadbeat Dad reenters his son's life after eight years when their mother commits suicide. Quite predictable TV movie but generally works because the characters are all believable. Hal Linden seems right for this part. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This one has after-school special written all over it. Estranged father takes in two sons after their mother's death. Some emotional lessons learned and likely satisfied Linden's contractural obligations opposite Barney Miller. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
