    Available to watch through streaming?

    I saw this movie years ago on the Lifetime channel and loved it! I love a lot of Melissa Gilbert's movies. A lot of her movies are available on DVD or are available to stream through Amazon or YouTube. I can't find this on any Network app to stream it and why isn't it available on DVD???? I would LOVE to watch it again!
