Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Quick to capitalize on the skyrocketing success of Shirley MacLaine's '83 bestselling book `Out on a Limb' Shirley and ABC Network released this 160 minute miniseries of the same name in '87. `Out on a Limb' was highly anticipated television event aired on two consecutive nights, January 18-19 (that was a Monday and Tuesday if I remember correctly).
I was one amongst a multitude of fans who couldn't wait for this show to air and made sure I had sent the allotted time set aside to view without interruption. Hard to believe as it may seem, that was before the advent of home recording devices so you were at the mercy of Network scheduling. You either watched at the appointed time or missed out (yes, it was a primitive time to be alive).
The miniseries lived up to my every expectation. After all it's rather difficult to be disappointed with an autobiographical story about a contemporary person with that person in the starring role. Also considering the fact that I had enjoyed the book and was fascinated with the subject matter, there wasn't going to be much objectivity in judging its merits of this cinematic production.
My Rating: Worth a watch? Absolutely! Whether you're a believer, or just want to see what the `New Age" is all about you'll come away with food for thought. -4 Stars-.
