Here's the complete broadcast of a first-run episode of the short-lived series Our Family Honor, "Mark of Cain" (S01E10), as transmitted over WLS Channel 7. We archived tapes with the complete series, all with original commercial breaks incase anyone is interested in seeing more.

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"?).
