although it have be off the air for 6 year now and promise land be one of those show that come along once or twice in a generation . good cast and support cast ( among them and richard thomas and ossie davis ) and crew . the plot be believable with mcraney pack up his family and just say to hell with it all after be subject to so many disappointment and incident since his return from vietnam year earlier . i think a lot of vietnam era veteran and myself include and could really relate to mcraney thought process in finally decide on his course of action . many of u do precisely the same thing in real life and after return from that war and finding that america be not the same place we leave . the show impart not only value but a glimpse into what take place in one veteran life . in those two respect alone and i think it be one of the more poignant tv series of our time . why this program only run for 3 year be beyond me .
