Trivia:
When this film was first broadcast, the network superimposed the word "dramatization" on the bottom of the screen every few minutes and ran disclaimers after every commercial break, to remind people it was only a movie. That didn't stop some people in Charleston, S.C. from panicking anyway. moreQuotes:
Dr. David McKeeson: Woodley, that's a nice Anglo-Saxon sounding name. I hope it's your own. moreFAQ

I enjoyed this movie. The biggest problem I had with it were the continual disclaimers. Every time it went to and from commercial there was a disclaimer. Every time they went to a field reporter there was a disclaimer. I found it difficult to stay engaged with all those reminders.
I liked it anyway. I bet I would have _really_ liked it if they had let me watch it without so many disclaimers.
