EDtv

Rated: PG-13

An everyday video store clerk agrees to have his life broadcast on television as a reality show and gains overnight celebrity. However, celebrity has a price, and while Ed initially embraces his newfound fame, he also witnesses the awkward, often humorous and sometimes painful predicaments suffered by members of his family who automatically become part of the program, and infamous in their own right. When he realizes that his on-camera success has turned him into another consumer product, he must find a way to stop his ordeal, cancel EDtv and return to the normal life.

The Mod Squad

Rated: R

They were on their way to jail. One black. One white. One blonde. One from the hood -- Lincoln Hayes (Omar Epps), Arson. One from money -- Pete Cochrane, Robbery. And one from the streets -- Julie Barnes (Claire Danes), Assault. Three kids with nothing in common but the fact that Captain Adam Greer (Dennis Farina) needs them to go where the cops can't, infiltrating the seedy, drug-infested L.A. streets and nightlife. Working undercover. Mixing in with the hip crowd. Busting the parasites preying on the young.

Doug's 1st Movie

Rated: G

Doug Funnie is an imaginative and quirky 12-1/2-year-old who finds himself caught between saving the endangered "monster" of polluted Lucky Duck Lake and his burning desire to take Patti Mayonnaise (Connie Shulman) -- his secret crush -- to the school dance. When Doug and his best pal, Skeeter (Fred Newman), discover that the mythical "monster" is real, they also stumble across an elaborate cover-up by one of Bluffington's leading citizens, industry-Czar Bill Bluff. Adding to Doug's anxiety is Guy Graham, a slick upperclassman, who wants Patti for himself.
