Original Airdate - December 18, 1986

A family man who also dodged the draft, thought he had put the Vietnam war out of his mind years ago. However, he now finds that he is getting flashbacks of war experiences that he never had.

"The Road Less Travelled" is one of the lesser episodes of the second season, though I can't quite put my finger on why it is. I don't find it interesting, and it could be that Cliff DeYoung is the problem. He's just not a strong enough actor for this type of role, and his performance doesn't carry the show. As basically a one-man play, the actor in the lead needs to be a strong presence, and DeYoung is a pleasant, nice-looking guy but not a strong presence.
