Hey, what was the name of that "reality" mini-series where it was videotaped as though it was live news broadcasts and a terrorist nuke went off in some american port city? It was about twelve years ago.

That wasn't a miniseries, it was a TV movie called "Special Edition". The network ran disclaimers across the bottom of the screen all during it so that folks just tuning in wouldn't think it was a real news show.

It didn't work either considering that charlston's telephone grid locked up for hours during and after that show.

I have that on VHS at home actually. Not a bad film.

Of course nothing beats "The Day After"; that is a classic piece of anti-nuke propaganda.

We still have a VHS tape of "Special Edition". My hubby was fascinated by it. "The Day After" was simply depressing.

Wasn't there another 'real time' tv movie about aliens coming to earth, and instead of seeing if they're friendly, we attack them with nukes (against the scientists advice who thinks they are harmless), then the last thing we see if a ton of bogies headed toward earth? Man, I remember that one. It was in the early 80s and I was babysitting. I think it was on CBS. Can not for the life of me recall the name.

I found it!!! I thought for sure the movie was called, 'Without Warning', and sure enough, it is indeed!

Without Warning. Does anyone else remember this movie? Had me scared outta my mind as a teen.
