On This Day: June 30, 1985 - Final Episode of Call to Glory Airs on ABC
On this day June 30, 1985, the final episode of Call to Glory aired on ABC, marking the end of a short lived but ambitious drama series. Starring Craig T. Nelson and Elisabeth Shue, the show followed the lives of a military family during the early 1960s as they faced Cold War tensions and personal challenges during a changing time in American history.

The series ran for one season with a total of 22 episodes. Although it received attention for its period setting and strong performances, it struggled in the ratings and was cancelled after its first year. Still, it left an impression as a show that aimed to mix family drama with major historical events such as the space race and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

80s insight: Call to Glory reflected the 1980s interest in earlier decades, offering a serious and emotional look at American life during the Cold War from a family perspective.
