February 3 Information
Movie of the Week Identification
This movie aired on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. I can't be sure of this, but as I type this out, I feel fairly certain of the air time. It would have been 20-26 years ago (again, I can't be sure, but I'm convinced it was on ABC.) The only scene I remember is a flood, and there was a cougar on the banks. It's possible an entire house was floating down this flood-swollen river at the time. Thanks in advance,

A house floating down a flood-swollen river brings Huckleberry Finn to mind. There was indeed an ABC movie of the week of Twain's novel in your time range, a loose adaptation entitled The Adventures of Con Sawyer and Hucklemary Finn (1985), with
Drew Barrymore as Con Sawyer. I didn't see it and don't know if the scenes you remember were in it. There may have been other Huck Finn adaptations during your time period, if indeed what you remember was Huck Finn but not this particular adaptation. —
