    Wow. It brings tears to your eyes even today when you see Michael and Victor , they where such lovely human beings and this series was so heart warming to watch. Michael and Victor died way too young and I still have my favourite show they starred in which was Little House on the Prairie, they where magnificent.

      @@FactsVerse To be honest, I use to cry at nearly every episode so each and every episode was brilliant in its own way.
      Little House was so heartwarming and wholesome and to this day I will still sometimes watch it on video, it's what you would call
      ' perfection ' .
      All the actors where perfect for the roles they played even nasty Nelly Olsen , she played a really good part.

      @norbertk66, nor(excuse the pun) was the caption shown with Lorne Green the correct reference Tim was narrating.
      Lately, FV has been riddled with mistakes, incorrect dates, wrong episodes.., and even a lie or two, and when these mistakes are brought to Tim Blane and FV's attention, nothing ever becomes of it.
      These "this is why the series came to an end.." videos RARELY tell us why the series came to an end!

      ​@@allan9603There's absolutely NO excuse for this shotty kind of reporting on actors that fans seem to know more about than Tim. The REAL facts are so easily found and mostly on Google. No fun trying to guess if simple facts are correct or not. I'm even wondering if Tim even cares since all he can comment on is " glad you liked the video, anymore actors I can mess up the bio on".

      I blame RUclips for some of these discrepancies as well, by not monitoring the content.
      RUclips is quick to enforce(stupid) rules such as not allowing channel owners to use words such as "prostitute" replaced with "sex worker", or "illegal " replaced with "undocumented immigrant..", yet allows misinformation, false information.., and outright lies to be broadcast.

    The show ended in 1989, why would Michael Landon's cancer diagnosis in April of 1991 and subsequent death July 1, 1991 be a reason the show was canceled? Not only was the show long over, but Landon had already moved on to other projects on another network including a new series called "Us" which you can see the pilot episode here on RUclips. Victor French actually passed in 1989 and that would be enough to cancel the show. He was in every episode in season 5 and died before the airing of the "last" episode which was the Christmas themed episode.

    My favorite episode I don't remember all of the storyline I just remember there were these two little boys involved and one of the boys was homeless with his cat Thomas and he was handicapped I believe or disabled in some way and I remember his father was a drunk and everything and he used to beat him and I remember the little boy telling Mark and Jonathan that he would tell his father that he loves him and his father would tell him to shut up and everything like that and I don't remember the storyline really but I just remember later on eventually the boy with the cat Thomas was invited to come live with the little boy and his family.

    2024 I’m watching it. They did a great job! I am agnostic, but I like the idea of showing positive example of behaviours and events. It’s nice that the producers choose to spread good vibes and face the difficulties of life in a series. Just watched some short video, where young boy was bullied. He didn’t stood up for himself because they threaten they will hurt also his grandpa if he will do that. The grandpa on the other hand was in pain after his son death, so he was angry and bitter to the kid because he reminded him of his son. So.. eventually grandpa find out little boy was bullied, and went to stood up for him 💛 He told him how he felt, and apologized for his bitternes and hurtful words. Also, his grandchild help him deal with the bullies in fight. Happy for grandpa and grandson! 🙂 They now can deal with their grief together and appreciate they still have each other 😚

    The Series was Inspirational to me. Michael was a multi-talented and passionate man. He really knew, understood, and was an icon in Television Production, Writing, Directing, and Acting. A George M Cohan without the Songs. Victor was a personal friend of mine. He was staring in the TV show “Carter Country” when I met him at the Palomino Club on a Thursday Night Talent Night. I came in second that night singing “She Believes in Me,” which earned me $50. Victor stood up and took a $50 bill out of his wallet, and instructed the MC to give it to me because he felt I won the contest. From that time on he was a mentor to me. Highway to Heaven ran its course. It couldn’t continue without the two lead characters. What memories this video brings back…
    Bittersweet. 😢 I wrote Michael at his home address after seeing him on the Tonight Show. He looked so frail. We are fortunate to have episodes of ALL his work and Victor’s throughout their long careers. Michael was in a “Rifleman”Episode, and Victor was uncredited in “The Magnificent Seven.”This is a Blessing! RIP! ❤

    Its was a big influence for my family when immigrating to the US. My mother was a big fan of London since Bonanza days...I think Touch By an Angel is very much inspired by this classic tv show!

    The show ended due to the untimely passing of Victor French. Michael Landon had another series in production whose pilot had already aired and had been picked up by the network. Around the time of it's airing Michael Landon was diagnosed with cancer and went downhill rapidly. Although he fought hard he was gone quickly. I know I watched everything he was ever in. When news broke of his death I cried for days unashamedly. He had so much to give and was taken to soon. I wish there were still people like him in entertainment. He was like an angel on earth and I firmly believe he's with the angels in heaven now.

    Such a good series but got so preachy about nuclear power... considering at this point its the most environmentally friendly form of power production 🤔 compared to coal, gasification, and even solar, its only surpassed by hydroelectric

    Landon lived a couple years after the end of Highway to Heaven. Some of the facts here are not facts at all. Victor died after the final season was completed. The death had nothing to do with its cancelation.

    Michael Landon had created a pilot for a new series titled Us. He played the main character. The pilot aired on CBS. This was the first time a show that he had been involved with was not broadcast on NBC. Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and Highway to Heaven were all NBC TV shows.

    Michael Landon was NOT a devout Christian !
    He was constantly Drunk and smoked 4 packs of cigarettes a day.
    The Bible says that you will know them by their Fruits.
    The Bible also says NOT to be a drunkard.
    He could have gone to rehabilitation or AA, but he chose to stay drunk

      I don't know if I would go as far to say that he was not a Christian. However the show itself did not mention Jesus very much. It had an all roads lead to God kind of feel.
      I loved the positivity of the show, but I was concerned with the lack of Jesus. It makes it a bit misleading.
      Then I remember, it is just a television show. It is not the way to Salvation, the Bible prayer and fasting are much better tools to seek one's own salvation.

    You probably won't believe this but it's true. I loved lhotp and mentioned this to my chief exec. He dropped in on a shoot and they talked about me. I'm kind of the real mcgyver...named after a friend. I had been traveling following my nose and divine insight helping people. After a few more discussions, Micheal stopped lhotp in mid season and started hth based on some of my experiences. When he was diagnosed, they got a hold of me and I told him that if I changed the course of our research, we could probably save him but more of others would die. He responded by saying he would gladly die that they might live. By God's graces, we finished a project we call mind-jars by which a brain could live inside with a virtual world to live in and communicate to us in. He volunteered and was the first candidate, 2 weeks before he died. He lives with us today in his jar. Lifespan in the jar is +500 years. Love you and your courage Mike. Glad to have you onboard. Dr. John (ha)P. Kunze (Hopkins) III. We had a cure a few years later, but are still struggling to produce it.❤️🥰🤗😇,jpk Unbelievable but true.
