I'd like to think that Heaven holds a special place for the wonderful man that is Michael Landon - if "Highway to Heaven" is any reflection of his merits, in my book he should be a saint and truly rest among the angels.
With a simple television show, ML shared enriching tales that couldn't help but uplift the viewer with positive and sometimes deeply profound messages. Sure it was sappy at times and perhaps some of the plotlines could be a little contrived but overall ML was a truly talented writer AND director AND actor, playing the jack of all trades marvelously with what was overall a pretty darned good show.
To boot, the wonderful Victor French also acts and occasionally directs (and possibly writes?) some episodes. What an incredibly gifted duo!
Oh, and you gotta love the theme song ;).
