ABC's Music Man is a Sure-Fire Family Friendly Hit

ABC has already led the other broadcast networks in offering more options for family audiences with the creation of a TV family hour this past fall.  ABC continues to shine with high-quality, family-friendly original movies, which are highlighted during the Sunday night presentations of the "Wonderful World of Disney." 

This Sunday, February 16, ABC will air a made-for-TV production of Meredith Willson's The Music Man.  Matthew Broderick stars as Professor Harold Hill, a charming and charismatic traveling salesman who arrives in a small Iowa town planning to con the residents by promising to equip and train a boy's marching band then skip town with the parents' money.  But his plans change when he unexpectedly falls in love with the town's stuck-up librarian/piano-teacher, Marion Paroo, played by Kristin Chenoweth. 

This entertaining musical is a sure-fire family-friendly hit.  The movie contains no inappropriate language, sexual content, or violence, meaning parents can feel at ease letting their children watch this charming movie.
