When life gives you 'The Satanic Panic', Dallas Eggbert III and Rona Jaffe, you get a schlocky made for tv movie released during Christmas break called Mazes and Monsters...and you're grateful for it.
Panned and highly criticized, this made for tv movie is seriously not as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. Albeit not great but certainly not the worst cinematic offense the gaming community has ever witnessed.
If you happened to be playing D&D in 1982 there just wasn't a lot, if any, D&D related material for you to watch. Unlike today's veritable glut, we just didn't have much. Hell, the D&D cartoon wouldn't be available until the fall 1983 so you watched what you were given.
For better or worse, in December of 1982 on CBS it happened to be Mazes and Monsters.

Mazes and Monsters aired and became mostly forgotten about.
It was kept alive on VHS, then dvd and just recently for its 40th anniversary released on blu-ray.

So everyone hates it...meh, I still love it.
There's just something about that scene where the players are introducing their characters...
