CBS plans to reach for the stars in its slate of TV movies in the 2003-04 season. Highlights include Blessings, starring Mary Tyler Moore, based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Anna Quindlen; John Christmas, starting Valerie Bertinelli and Peter Falk in a Christmas story about a man who has come back home after he disappeared 20 years before; Twelve Mile Road, starring Tom Selleck as a divorced farmer whose life is thrown into turmoil by the arrival of his troubled teenage daughter for the summer; and Vinegar Hill, based on an Oprah Book Club finalist.

Other movies include Footsteps, starring Candice Bergen, Bryan Brown and Michael Murphy; Meant to Be, starring Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgern, about a long-married couple on the verge of divorce who rediscover their love for each other during a freak snowstorm; and Scott Turow's Reversible Errors, about a corporate lawyer whose world is turned upside-down when he is assigned to draft the final appeal of a death-row inmate who, a decade earlier, confessed to a triple homicide.
