Well, I found one, Call to Glory, starring Craig T. Nelson of course in his "pre-Coach days". He plays Ramor Sarnac, an air force/or navy pilot. The setting is in the 1960's and it focuses on his family--and deals with some of the events of that decade, for example the civil rights movement, Cuban missile crisis, and so forth. The late Keenan Wynne played his dad.
Anyway, I really loved the show. Anyone remember the show, or have any info about whether it's in DVD?
Also (as usual, I have a penchant for some of these "one season wonders" that have had only a small following, but that viewers in general have not been that enthusiastic about.) Well here goes: the second show's setting is Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, and the 82nd Airborne Division. It focuses on a young NCO (non-commissioned officer, E-4 or E-5, corporal or sergeant). The setting is peace time and the stories revolved around regular, work-a-day conflicts on base. The main character, the NCO, was a dedicated soldier, in say, the 19 to 23 year old range. I don't know the name of the actor who played him. I obviously liked this show too, but it never generated a lot of interest to TV viewers. You could only relate to it if you had worked and lived in that environment. Again, it was a short-lived series, lasting one season--if that. But if it were available, I would be interested in buying it on DVD. Anyone know the name of the show?
(I might recognize the name of the show if I heard it.)
