Here's another complete broadcast of a first-run episode of the very short-lived series drama Our Family Honor, this one entitled "End of the Line" (S01E12), as telecast over WLS Channel 7.
Starring (in alphabetical order) Daphne Ashbrook (of the 1996 Doctor Who movie), Georgann Johnson (from "The Day After" blockbuster telefilm), Ron Karabatsos, Michael Madsen (best known for Tarantino flicks), Tom Mason, Kenneth McMillan, Barbara Stuart (the former Bunny on Gomer Pyle, USMC), Eli Wallach (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly), Sheree J. Wilson (before Dallas and Walker, Texas Ranger) and Michael Woods, and also starring Dick Anthony Williams and Ray Liotta (pre-"Goodfellas"), this show was about a law enforcement family at war with a crime family - and two young lovers, one from each side, caught in the middle (shades of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"?).
Once again, in the absence of a plot synopsis (anyone want to write up one?), we're left with who guest starred, also starred, specially appeared, and featured in this edition: Karen Austin, Cotter Smith, Macon McCalman, Ed Lauter, J.E. Freeman, Anthony Giorgio, Chris Weatherhead, Carlos "Gary" Cervantes, John Davey and Charles Young.
