#SameTimeNextWeek (2017) was definitely more cheery than #OnTheBeach. Although it did have its sad moments, given the storyline; there were some lighthearted moments as well: and of course it had a positive moral at the end.
It's yet another made-for-#USTelly romance and morality tale. Entirely predictable, usual nonsensical character actions and misunderstandings just to drive the plot, largely Canadian cast, and once again #Canada masquerading as generic small-town U.S.A.. The script carefully avoided any discussion of the hospital doctor's job that would place it in either country.
I did have one weird problem watching it. I kept mis-reading the title as, and substituting in the dialogue whenever someone said the phrase, 'See You Next Tuesday'. It didn't help when a character came close with a valediction involving seeing someone else next Thursday. I have been over-exposed to that juvenile gag throughout my life, it seems. (-:
It's interesting how the general public's idea of a #GlobalThermonuclearWar, rooted in fiction, has changed.
#OnTheBeach is definitely an example of the idea of MAD, and #TomLehrer's "We'll all go together when we go!", that was present right up through #WarGames in 1983.
Then in 1984 with #TheTerminator the idea returned that with just enough 'duck and cover!' we might survive a thing that in reality we could not. (They had to make the T-1000 in #TerminatorGenisys ridiculously pause to do banter with its target in order to make it evadable by a human. Killing machines would kill the species stone dead very effectively.)
I thought to watch something not recorded by the TiVo to take a break from trying to clear some recording space.
So I looked at what was on the various channels live. There was a 1959 #GregoryPeck movie, set in Australia, post-war, with submarines. It was called On The Beach.
I was expecting some technicolour romp with lush South Pacific scenery. Perhaps some surfing or swimming or something.
How wrong I was!
It's a black-and-white post-apocalyptic tale of how Australia is the last place on Terra to succumb to radioactive fallout after a global thermonuclear war and everybody slowly dies. (G'day, professor Falken!)
Hell, no!
So back to the TiVo recordings and the made-for-TV romance with #JewelStaite it is, then.
Even though the premise of that is that the other halves of both of the protagonists, who are obviously Destined to Find Love, have recently died. It has to be more cheerful than #OnTheBeach.

This song has grown on me with each new listen. I find it intriguing how she keeps modulating, and also how she places the lyrics on the melody.

I stumbled across this remake of a 1959 movie ( haven't seen it ).
China and the US have a nuclear exchange over Taiwan.
Due to wind patterns Australia is temporarily spared the deadly effects of radioactive fallout.
A lone surviving American submarine lands in Melbourne.
The story is what happens to various people over the course of weeks as the fallout moves south.
