Short-lived series (one season) about a family headed by Richard Kiley. I won't deny that the series was predictable but it was well-made with a great cast and good writing. All the acting was good especially by Kiley who won an Emmy for this. When he got the Emmy he openly berated NBC for canceling this so quickly. Also I was very attracted to drop dead handsome David Oliver (who sadly died of AIDS in 1992). This series had decent ratings and a good time slot but NBC mysteriously just pulled the plug on it. Another example of a great show that, if the network had kept it on, could have become a big hit. This will probably never be rerun on TV but, if you get a chance, see it.
