8:30 ABC Movie: "Go Ask Alice"

...Go Ask Alice was a book published in 1971, allegedly from the actual diary of an anonymous teenage drug abuser who OD'd in the late '60s. The title is lifted from the Jefferson Airplane song "White Rabbit," itself an exploration by Grace Slick of the supposed drug references in Lewis Carroll's Alice books. It is considered to be a classic of American literature for teenagers, and is still in print from Simon Pulse in both hardcover and paperback; although originally promoted as nonfiction, the book's editor, Beatrice Sparks, indicated on its copyright form that it was a work of fiction, and it is now listed that way by Simon Pulse itself. As well, a 1998 piece in the New York Times Book Review indicates that Linda Glovach, author of Beauty Queen, was also a co-forger of the "diary" in Go Ask Alice. The movie listed above is an adaptation of the "diary" that, along with Duel, The Point and Brian's Song, is considered a high point in ABC's Movie of the Week anthology series...

...by the way, what did WTVC usually run in the 4:30-5:30 slot that's occupied here by that ABC Afterschool Special?...
 
That's true. "Go Ask Alice" was one of the
most memorable ABC "Movie Of The Week"
presentations (my parenthetical remarks were
intended as a joke).

WTVC normally had "Green Acres" 4:30-5,
followed by "Bonanza" from 5-6.
