242.0. "The Road Home" by TOHOPE::WSA038::SATTERFIELD (Close enough for jazz.) Tue Mar 29 1994 09:37


This new series started about three weeks ago. I've caught a couple of episodes
and starting to really like it. It stars Francis Sternhagen, Terence Knox, and
??. It's been described as "Prince of Tides without the psychology". I may
appreciate it more since I'm from the south, it has many touches of southern
culture that I can relate to.

I try to catch this one.  It's got possibilities!

Also stars Karen Allen as the lead/daughter/narrative voice.  There's an older 
actor (name ?) familiar to me from "St. Elsewhere" (Dr. Westfall?) playing her 
father.  And the black-sheep brother is played by the guy who's been Duel 
McCall in the "Desperado" TV movies.   

The plot lines involving the 3rd generation are predictably oriented to attract 
that kind of audience, but I like some of the things they're doing with the 
older characters ... the struggling business, the mother's illness, adult 
children working out issues with their parents, etc.
