Next in the countdown of my favorite MST3K episodes is number 24, highlighting a prime example of how agonizingly drab 1970s TV movies could be - 614 "San Francisco International".
Synopsis, from the MST3K Amazing Colossal Episode Guide:
"The focal point of this failed TV pilot is the astounding pomposity and self-absorption of Pernell Roberts. He plays an airport administrator. You'd think that's a pretty mundane job and you'd be right, but Pernell struts and preens like a balding cock-of-the-walk. Oh, he has his problems. Some mean guys plan to rob a Federal Reserve shipment, and in the process kidnap the wife of a pilot (played by the saggy David Hartman). And a newspaperman's dull-witted adenoidal son reacts to trouble at home by pilfering a plane and flying it away. He's never flown before, so Pernell has to talk him down. Dumb kid. Bonuses include Clu Gulager as a real mellow airport cop and Tab Hunter as a bad guy, but Pernell's gargantuan ego steals the show."

Oh man, they practically SHREDDED that kid. 'Sometimes married couples break up because of their kids.' 'You're gonna die, down there.' 'You hold him, I'll punch him.' Seriously, it's so ruthless, you could call it child abuse!
