CBS Schoolbreak Special: Other Mothers (1993)
Season 11, Episode 1
4/10
What kind of an ending is that?
7 October 1999
Warning: Spoilers
This "movie" is about a high school freshman whose "parents" are his mother and her lesbian life partner and all the trouble it causes him once people at his new school find out. He's made into an outsider as his basketball coach and best friend turn on him, and his "parents" are loathed by all the other parents. But if the movie ends where our health teacher stopped it and said "That's the end", none of the conflicts are resolved.

WARNING - POSSIBLE SPOILER (Though I doubt it)

The movie ends with the kid deciding he's going to be okay with his "parents" being gay. But he's still at odds with his best friend, and he's sitting on the bench when a couple weeks before he would have been starting. Nothing gets resolved at all. What kind of an ending is that? The worst part is I initially thought the coach was played by Patrick Duffy but then we figured out it's just the guy from "Boy Meets World."
