High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! ABC Saturday Movie of the Week is a weekly American anthology series that airs on ABC. The series began as the replacement for ABC`s Big Picture Show and as a revival of ABC`s Movie of the Week theme (the network used this theme from 1969 until 1976). Since its inception, it has been ABC`s main platform for airing theatrical movies, although other movies air as part of the movie of the week format during the holiday season and as special presentations. As such, ABC airs a movie on every night of the week at some point during the television season styled as Movie of the Week.
