Call to Glory (1984 - ... )

Call to Glory was intended as an ABC miniseries, depicting the turbulent 1960s as seen through the eyes of an Air Force family. Stars a pre-Coach Craig T. Nelson, Cindy Picket, Elisabeth Shue, C. Thomas Howell, and Keenan Wynn. The two-hour pilot focuses on the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. This pilot and the miniseries itself were originally intended to be aired on ABC in the spring of 1984, but ABC smelled potential in the project and ordered that it be expanded into a thirteen week series. The premiere was moved back to August 13, 1984 with the pilot unveiled right after ABC's Olympics coverage. Call to Glory was an immediate ratings success at the outset. Alas, ABC's decision to move away from the historical aspects of the show to concentrate on the soapish goings-on with the Sarnac family prompted a severe viewer drop-off. The program was finally cancelled
