Call to Glory

Call to Glory, an ABC drama from the 1984–85 season, ran for 22 episodes. It centered on Colonel Raynor Sarnac (Craig T. Nelson), a USAF pilot stationed at Edwards Air Force Base in the early 1960s, and his family. The show was heavily promoted during ABC’s 1984 Summer Olympics coverage, with its pilot airing August 13, 1984, and tying into the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis U-2 flights. As the series progressed, it shifted focus to the isolation felt by his wife, Vanessa (Cindy Pickett), and how she and the family occupied themselves in the remote Antelope Valley.
