Highway to Heaven was a very good family show. I don't know if it is still out there running on TV in reruns on any channel because I still do not have cable, but I don't think it is. I have not been able to find it on DVD for any affordable price yet but if I did I would pick it up. It lasted several seasons and was about Michael Landon as an angel sent from Heaven to help people on earth who are struggling in some way. He is helped by the nice bearded man who was in Little House on the Prairie with him as his best friend. He drives Landon from place to place and helps him out with his different missions and adventures. The show was really heartwarming and just a good show, the kind of thing the whole family would watch together.

Okay, Highway to Heaven was one of those feel-good dramas with a heart and soul. Of course, Michael Landson's last show brought us one of his finest acting performances as angel sent to earth to help the mortals make amends with their loved ones, relatives, friends, and themselves. All the episodes had a heart and soul kind of feeling that made you want to reach out and grab a handkerchief. This show was one of the better shows of the 1980s. Sadly, Michael Landon and Victor French died shortly later. They both acted wonderfully as friends, travelling companions and nothing more on a journey that took them all over the country. We don't have shows like Highway to Heaven anymore and I hope they will bring it to DVD soon.

This series was great. It's a little unrealistic today as the stories in the shows were about friendship, love, trust, care and sympathy, all of which seem to have disappeared among most people today. In a world today where everyone is rude, greedy, unhelpful, unfriendly, impatient and aggressive, it's nice to watch this show and see how things really should be. Michael Landon did a great job in playing an Angel who has been sent down from God to help people. These are usually people who are ill or dying. Michael Landon always manages to help them make the most of what they have and always teaches us very good morals, something which kids aren't taught today. Michael Landon was an Angel in real life until he sadly passed away. It's a shame there aren't any around today.

I have seen that episode & it is one of my favorites also. Other favorites of mine are any of the episodes with James Troesh as Scotty or the shows about Special Olympics. This is one of the best TV shows that have been around. Good family values show. Michael Landon & Victor French really produced & directed a great TV series. I have all but 1 of the episodes taped with no commercials. The only episode I am missing is "Fighting for your life" from the 4th season & 3rd show from that season on 9-30-87. I also wish that they would put Highway to Heaven on DVD as long as it is not Goodtime. Any other company can produce a better product than Goodtime Video.
