I don't comment much on youtube videos but wanted to say something about Michael. Before I had my TV series on Animal Planet, I started off as a movie animal trainer in the early 80's and worked on a lot of movies and TV shows. In the late 80's I got a chance to work my dogs periodically on Highway to Heaven. I don't know if a lot of people knew that Michael, wrote, starred, produced, and directed that TV series, and the entire crew was awesome. The days were short and mostly shot in the Malibu area where he lived. One of the nicest and most professional human beings I have ever worked with. Anyone who worked with him will tell you the same thing. I cannot believe it has been 30 yrs.
I saw Michael Landon at the Malibu Feed barn many, many years ago. He was with his wife and some of his kids. He was smiling at everyone and I have to say, he was one, GREAT looking man!!
Do you think he was a better actor than Marlon Brando? I saw Michael Landon act, he's pretty good of an actor. I don't know if actors and actresses like to be called "pretty good" than "really good"? Yeah come to think of it, he probably worked hard playing these roles in movies.
Actually, had he, Carson , kept his mouth shut while Landon delivered his powerful rebuke of the tabloid press and immediately there afterwards ..the moments of silence Landon's cadence and phrasing offered would have had an even more profound impact on the audience. Instead, Carson's unease - which provoked his repeated interruptions - almost ruined, certainly , detracted from the message the statements carried.
i remember this interview. When i ended up with breast cancer in 2002,i fought it the same way, with a sense of humor. a lot of people didn't know how to respond. but,i never got sick, never missed a day of work, never had one problem through partial mastectomy, chemo, radiation and the years following. i thank mr Landon for that.
Well done you! I can thank my lovely Kerry Blue for pulling me out of the fog of medication. He didn't pass until he was 18 last year and I'm still heartbroken.
Loretta Young kind of sad isn’t it.....looking back at how amazing life was.....I’m a late 70s/80s kid. To this day I still think back to my kid days....the summers...the holidays. They were magical. Nothing is the same now....I miss those days. I could go on for hours about my life back then....my days growing up with a dad that custom harvested...we traveled all over the country cutting wheat..farming. Just absolutely amazing times. Anyway..haha.
No one ....to this day holds a candle to Michael Landon !!!! Grew up watching him on tv .... still watch reruns and miss what he could have continued doing .... ❤️
I was near 50 when Michael Landon died at 54. I've just turned 80 and I'm still fairly healthy. I don't know how long I've got, but Landon is an inspiration to all of us as we contemplate the inevitable end.
I hope I can face my own mortality with laughter and joy like he did.i heard he was still laughing and joking with his family till the end TV has really not been the same since he passed r.i.p.michael
Michael Landon was a class act and didn’t realize just how incredible his sense of humor and it’s horrendous just how low the tabloids were and are. It truly is hard to believe he’s been gone 30 years may he Rest In Peace.

What a legend, both of these men were. I remenber watching Little Joe over 50 years ago, and I couldn't wait til it came on. Thanks for the memories.
his mother attempted suicide several times. he once saved her from drowning as a way of killing herself. and how did she repay him? he was wetting a bed due to all the stress from her suicide attempts, so she hung the dirty sheets out for all the neighbours to see, to shame him :(
@@ellenabendschoen4990 me too! I am working from home right now due to COVID and Little House is on every morning! I have been watching the show since I was little and never get tired of it! :)
I was only 11 when Michael Landon passed away. But over the years, I have enjoyed his works, especially Highway to Heaven. He was a one of a kind person. He had charisma, incredible humor, a great talent for acting and producing, and he had an infectious smile. It's amazing how you can miss a person that you never got to know.
I absolutely loved highway to heaven, you could see people struggling to get through life, after they lost the love of there life, with nothing to look forward to, not knowing what to do, or how to try and get through life. highway to heaven has a habit of showing scenes that really tug at your heart strings.michael landon, you are missed, and loved. god bless you, know truely an angel in heaven. all the best Louie Vaccaro, las vegas.
@@louisvaccaro5865so Michael Landon is looking down on us smiling? Thats weird 😕 i think if anything hes still trying to help people, if his energy is in heaven or wherever it is, its a positive energy and would give strength and hope to people just like his tv shows still do give hope and love ❤️ so if there is a heaven that's how i think it happens, its our energy in our hearts that lives on forever
Michael was a good man. All his shows were so heartfelt, and there was always some type of message in them. My dear mother told me, when Bonanza would come on, I would get on my " bouncy horse" and pretend I was riding along with them! I also was told that in the episode where "Little Joe" got married, I cried because I was going to marry him when I grew up! I watched every episode of Little House, it was my favorite show as a kid. I loved Michael Landon, thanks for the memories. 💖💖
Kevin Olson Same here. I’m binge watching every season right now on Amazon Prime. Almost done with season 3. Wonderful series and the hope, faith and inspiration in all the episodes is what we could all use right now. Michael Landon had a great heart and told beautiful stories.
What a wonderful man. We just don't see that kind of decency In our celebrities anymore. Every time I watched Michael He left me Feeling that I should try to be the best person I could be. His TV shows did the same thing. Unfortunately people Of the character that he had Are few and far between in today's world. I can't even imagine what I would sit and watch with my young children nowadays as a matter of fact, I don't even watch TV anymore. I watch whatever vintage shows I can find on RUclips. I don't believe in censorship, But we certainly live in the world. Where if given an inch a mile is always taken. What a disappointment I wasn't able to enjoy his new show it looked like it would have been another big hit. .
I stopped watching TV in 1984 in my 20s. Watched it again in 2005-2006 & was shocked to see how awful people treated one another, cussing, violence, total disrespect & mocking of any Traditional values, pushing a very liberal agenda, sensationalizing, and setting impossible scenarios and I'm from the very, extremely liberal SF Bay Area. Now, it's far worse & glorifies the basest of human behaviors. People are capable of becoming nearly anything, but primarily are reinforcement-driven beasts. Thus, the Modeling-Effect of 📺 is so powerful, and only Fred Rogers of the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood both fully understood 📺 power, & chose only to use it for training up children aged 2-4 in basic human decency, imaginativeness, etc. TV's early "Steve" of Blues Clues came close. But Fred Rogers wanted kids to feel a sense of safety, and gain healthy social skills because he knew many children were being raised by 📺
@@dixierae6063 My pleasure. You seem quite worth the effort. You'll be interested to know I'm suddenly being inundated with Fred Rogers videos in my suggested feed. I'm going to type in Captain Hook just to see if it's a Google algorithm.
@@jenniferlawrence9652 💓 So funny, we were the only family I knew of allowed only one hour of TV a day. Glad to hear of another and of course a fellow LH on the Prairie fan (:
@@colleenfoley7917 that is to funny..the good old days :) I had my show and my little brother liked the Price is Right..of course I would watch it with him and he would watch little house with me ...
Brian Trimble ..Yes & I fear this generation will have to learn the true privileges of Freedom & Democracy by fighting for it again. The respect has gone.
I totally was mesmerised listen to both Michael’s calming answers to Johnny’s endearing questions of Michael. As said by another both of these men were grown during a time of ‘gentlemen’
Bonanza, Little house on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven; Michael brought decency, encouragement and commitment to family to television at a time when the Television started going in the opposite direction. Thank you, Lord, for the life of Michael Landon.
I have this whole thing somewhere on VHS. I think of the whole thing often, crack up and cry. Loved Landon's laugh, stories, jokes, etc. Also, loved what he said the tabloids were best used for. Miss you Michael!! And Johnny and Ed, too, of course.
He was truly one of the greatest actors of all time. Gone far, far to soon. Almost 30 years since he's passed. He was such a huge influence on me growing up. Time passes way to fast In life. Thank you for your gift to us. You've left a huge legacy upon us.
I once read an interview where Landon was asked how it was so easy for him to cry while cameras were rolling. He said he had a close relationship with his father. When he was an adult he had learned that his father was heinous physically abused as a child and all he had to do was think of his dad being abused , and the water works would surge. That's some dedication to go to that dark of a place.
I saw this the night it was taped. My thoughts at the time were that Michael Landon was a very brave man to be facing that dreadful disease with a smile on his face, and a great attitude. He knew that Johnny Carson would treat him with dignity. The entire segment was conducted with style and class. Michael Landon’s final TV appearance was a triumph of the soul.
I remember watching little house on the prairie,,Mr Landon showed me how to b a man ,and how to b a father from watching that show ,,he was a big impact in my life , may he rest in peace ,and may he be with our Lord Jesus Christ ,,,great man
Michael, I have only got the utmost respect and admiration for you. What a classy actor you were ! Not only that, but to me, you were such a GENUINE person ! Heaven is where you are now ! Well done my man !!
Greatest actor who ever lived as far as I'm concerned. We need his kind of programming in today's world. I miss him so much. That one scene from "Us" nearly did me in - it would have been another Michael Landon treasure.
@@hollydavis2261 they are unable to think for themselves. Puppets for their networks! Very sad, but I have no mercy or patience for any of them. Thankfully I don’t watch or read any of their nonsense. I choose not to be insulted by the mindless. ✌️
That beautiful mop of hair, handsome as ever, such a good man, I loved him in Bonanza- - He reminds me of my first love, David, who died on Valentine’s Day 2013 at age 57 from liver cancer - ❤️❤️
Yeah, he was principled. At the time (late 80's), virtually all of Hollywood production did not respect the old Screen Extras Guild and refused to pay the $90/8 rate. ONLY Landon's "Highway to Heaven" did.
Too bad Michael is gone far too soon. We miss that smile and his laughter! He was a great person to watch on the tv and he will be missed forever! R.I.P. Michael!
It was so sad to see this man leave us...I grew up with Little Joe Cartwright and Charles Ingalls. So heartbreaking... The pilot looked excellent...as in all the shows he did. I miss Johnny too... May both these men rest in peace...
TWO OF THE GREATEST COMEDIANS AND SHOWMEN AND GENTLEMEN!! THEY ARE TRULY MISSED!! R.I.P. DEAR JOHNNY AND MICHAEL...YOU MADE US FEEL SO HAPPY WATCHING....NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🇩🇪❣
From the Ponderosa as Little Joe Cartwright to the Little House on the Prairie as Charles Ingalls to his other shows like Heaven,he was one of my favorite actors who always touched your heart. Johnny Carson WAS and WILL always hold the title as the best late night show host on television!!
for what it is worth..i am 73. Michael Landon was my first 'crush.' i cut out every picture i could find of him (No internet those days folks!) I thought, and still do..he was the most handsome man that ever lived. I don't necessarily agree with other posters, that he was a great actor, but he had a charisma that, for women especially, went beyond the ideal of male beauty and his general portrayal of a bloke we would all like to be loved by, was overwhelming. I looked at his picture cellotaped to my wardrobe, before I went to bed at night, and he was the first face i saw in the morning. I would have swapped my middle class upbringing to be at the Ponderosa with him in an instant. He could, all at the same time, be a brother or, a lover……(no incestuous connotations meant ! We didn't know about those distinctions in the 'old days'.) He was, I suppose, my first sexual fantasy and even now, at my age, I can say that these Hollywood manufactured idols are nothing in comparison to the supreme, natural and incomparable..Michael Landon. n You made a young girl very happy and an old one very sad you are no longer with us... .
Two classy men whose talents are 'off the charts' -- no one even comes close to their ability to connect w/ an audience! Forever missed & dearly loved!
My dad passed on from liver cancer just a few months prior to this show with Michael Landon, who had liver cancer and passed shortly after. I grew up, like many, watching Little House... Needless to say, I remember this episode.
@@johnbrett8788 Thank you for reminding me. My father had pancreatic and liver cancer. It went very fast. My father was not the type to go to the doctor or say he wasn't feeling well. He was diagnosed, home one week on chemo, then in the hospital for only one week before passing. I stayed with him on a bed next to him in the hospital. He rapidly weakened so severely. The pain was that time in the hospital, at least only when he would say and did seem so. He was horribly weak, but only those four days before he went into an hepatic coma. They told us it would only be a few days. Three days later he passed. He came out of the coma to look in my eyes and know me. I held his hand before he woke. He was communicating with his eyes, though this is "medically impossible". I told him I loved him. He took three very gentle breaths with the deepest peace in his eyes and passed. His essence or spirt immediately filled the room magnified - like one-millionfold is the only way i can describe it. It was intense and lasted hours as my family came and I reassured them that He was at peace. Nothing preconditioned me for that experience. I treasure it to this day. I also had divine experiences of his presence after which were profound and continued. I'm a disabled vet from nerve gas. I was bed ridden. I prayed and studied the Bible every day. I was "permanently brain-damaged". It was extremely mechanical. I was terribly distraught, but this is when healing came progressively. This was eight years after the damage. The muscle-wasting continued, but I had many miracles. My cat was even healed of blindness. I felt my father with me, and feel him every time I think of him. My memory of him is crystal clear - incredibly tangible. I asked God - really demanded - when I found out he had cancer that if He wasn't going to heal him, to not let him suffer and take him quickly. He did. I've been so grateful he didn't suffer and went fast since. This program with Michael Landon really took me back, bringing all the emotions of the time. I was in a daze and overwhelmed, so wasn't didn't describe the pancreatic and liver. It started pancreas and went to his liver. I sure can't wait to see my father! :) . He must have pulled some strings up there. He's been my guardian angel. I never regretted anything with my father. I always treasured him and respected him. I showed him. I'm very glad for that too. He was such a good man. He only raised his voice, gruffly, three times in my life. One time was when I went out in a blizzard and got a concussion. He was upset and worried that I didn't listen. I was an adult. He NEVER hollered. Everyone who knew him had high respect for his character and generosity. Yes, Michael Landon was a great man. Aggressive is better than endless suffering. He surely left his mark.
Bill Bixby said the same thing about the tabloids, 2 years later and a few months before his death from prostate cancer. Both Michael and Bill are sorely missed.
@@man-bagdammit2297 Thank you Man-Bag Dammit, thank you so very much. You know what Man-Bag Dammit, it disturbs and saddens me so very much that Johnny and Joan situation was never resolved. Joan loved that man and tried so very hard to make it right. Even after he died, Joan went over to his grave and sit down at the head of his grave and talked to him as though as he was alive and ask for his forgiveness. She never meant to hurt Johnny in any way. I watched a video documentary of her explaining her side of the story, which a lot of people don't know and care not to know why she did what she did and it was never to get back at Johnny or revenge or nothing like that and I believe her wholeheartedly. You know Man-Bag Dammit, for the most part, people tend to accent the negative instead of the positive. I am so very glad that I don't fit into that category. Now that they are both on the other side, There is no doubt in my mind that they have resolve their differences and they are both laughing about it. Anyways, thanks again Man-Bag Dammit for letting me know about Johnny's death. Have a great day ok. :-) :-) :-)
Michael Landon was a true gentleman and an angel. He showed the same fight, strength and dignity during his illness as the equally wonderful Chadwick Boseman. Both gentleman were taken too soon.
My favourite actor, such a talented and lovely guy. His films always had a meaning in life, he was and is still special. God bless you Michael Landon, one of the greats.
If you want to see Michael Landon, choose to take JESUS as your personal Saviour by being sorry for your si and adking Jesus to firgive you and come into your hesrt and sae you. He will immediately if you mean it with all your heart. Then when you fie, you will go to be with Jesus and allthe others who have avcepted what Christ Hesus did on the cross for us...paying our sin debt that we could hsve eternal life thru Him. Michael Landon had Christ and is alive and glorously happy with Jesus and all others who accept. John3:16.
Even as a young girl I imagined marrying a man like him. The qualities he represented and taught by example was, is and will always be what I search for in my soulmate. I think this is the reason why I am still single, because this quality of men is so rare to find, at least in my life experience and the county I live in. I pray that someday I will come across a man that lives up to the expectations and standards that Mr. Landon threw his shows and life exemplified as a human being, a man, a father, role model and friend. I also pray that I am teaching my son to be this kind of man when he grows up. Thank you for the love, laughter and lessons you gave us Mr. Landon, God gave us a true gift when he shared you with us! My you be in his loving light and your soul at peace knowing that for many around the world not only did your shows touch our hearts but they taught us to be better human being in general. YOU ARE MISSED!!!!

He was good at everything he did, he did it with his heart on his sleeve. What you saw, was what you got. Miss you Michael.
Dee Dee Winfrey Amen sis ♥️☝️
Great comment. Michael Landon was a gift to us all.
he wasn't good at everything. he sucked as a father and a husband.
Michael was a good man. All his shows were so heartfelt, and there was always some type of message in them. My dear mother told me, when Bonanza would come on, I would get on my " bouncy horse" and pretend I was riding along with them! I also was told that in the episode where "Little Joe" got married, I cried because I was going to marry him when I grew up!
I watched every episode of Little House, it was my favorite show as a kid. I loved Michael Landon, thanks for the memories. 💖💖
@@Julie86Mac As an actor he was GREAT!
OMG what a guy! He looked so good too. Much missed. I remember him as Little Joe when I was a kid, my mother and I just loved him.
I love the boyish laugh of Landon, and the friendship of he and Carson
He was truly a class act!!! He made a huge impact on my life!!!
Fell in love with him when he played little Jo in Bonanza, then little house on the prairie and highway to heaven.
I understand how you could feel that way. He is the reason I started watching Highway to Heaven again on NetFlix.
Kevin Olson Same here. I’m binge watching every season right now on Amazon Prime. Almost done with season 3. Wonderful series and the hope, faith and inspiration in all the episodes is what we could all use right now. Michael Landon had a great heart and told beautiful stories.
Glad to see this resurface on my recommendations. What a true human and representation for everything good in showbiz
Carson was one of the few entertainers that you could watch and actually be entertained, he had a great show.
Wow! What an actor and what a great guy. Often moves me to tears.
What a wonderful man. We just don't see that kind of decency In our celebrities anymore. Every time I watched Michael He left me Feeling that I should try to be the best person I could be. His TV shows did the same thing. Unfortunately people Of the character that he had Are few and far between in today's world. I can't even imagine what I would sit and watch with my young children nowadays as a matter of fact, I don't even watch TV anymore. I watch whatever vintage shows I can find on RUclips. I don't believe in censorship, But we certainly live in the world. Where if given an inch a mile is always taken. What a disappointment I wasn't able to enjoy his new show it looked like it would have been another big hit. .
I agree with yourself 100%
conversely, if you are in love with yourself you don't love others.
I stopped watching TV in 1984 in my 20s. Watched it again in 2005-2006 & was shocked to see how awful people treated one another, cussing, violence, total disrespect & mocking of any Traditional values, pushing a very liberal agenda, sensationalizing, and setting impossible scenarios and I'm from the very, extremely liberal SF Bay Area. Now, it's far worse & glorifies the basest of human behaviors.
People are capable of becoming nearly anything, but primarily are reinforcement-driven beasts. Thus, the Modeling-Effect of 📺 is so powerful, and only Fred Rogers of the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood both fully understood 📺 power, & chose only to use it for training up children aged 2-4 in basic human decency, imaginativeness, etc.
TV's early "Steve" of Blues Clues came close. But Fred Rogers wanted kids to feel a sense of safety, and gain healthy social skills because he knew many children were being raised by 📺
@@stevebutler812 Very well said Steve. Thank you for sharing and caring.
@@dixierae6063 My pleasure. You seem quite worth the effort. You'll be interested to know I'm suddenly being inundated with Fred Rogers videos in my suggested feed. I'm going to type in Captain Hook just to see if it's a Google algorithm.
My 3 sisters and I were allowed one hour of TV while in grade and high school. My hour was spent watching “Little House on the Prairie” LOVE 💗
Colleen foley
I never missed an episode of "Little House on the Prairie".
My mother even made me a nightgown with a bonnet like they wore to bed. 💞
Same here I was also only allowed a hour ... always loved the show and still do..my favorite show my entire life I'm 50 now
@@jenniferlawrence9652 💓 So funny, we were the only family I knew of allowed only one hour of TV a day. Glad to hear of another and of course a fellow LH on the Prairie fan (:
@@colleenfoley7917 that is to funny..the good old days :) I had my show and my little brother liked the Price is Right..of course I would watch it with him and he would watch little house with me ...
@@jenniferlawrence9652 Awwwllll, so sweet 💞 (So you both actually got 2 hours a day 😂)
When Michael was speaking seriously you could hear a pin drop in the audience. I've never seen such reverence for an actor.
Actors, and people in general from that era, were cut from a different mold.
Brian Trimble ..Yes & I fear this generation will have to learn the true privileges of Freedom & Democracy by fighting for it again. The respect has gone.
I totally was mesmerised listen to both Michael’s calming answers to Johnny’s endearing questions of Michael. As said
by another both of these men were grown during a time of ‘gentlemen’
Until "Johnny" opened his big mouth(not once but _twice_ ) and almost destroyed "the moment".
Its so nice to see this side of humanity what a nice man.
Bonanza, Little house on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven; Michael brought decency, encouragement and commitment to family to television at a time when the Television started going in the opposite direction. Thank you, Lord, for the life of Michael Landon.
Amen!
Well said. He was an Angel on Earth.
@James Henderson , that's completely untrue. Are you just looking to get attention?
Amen 😇
Watching Highway to Heaven and all the episodes dealing with cancer and Michael and Victor French both died from cancer.
I have this whole thing somewhere on VHS. I think of the whole thing often, crack up and cry. Loved Landon's laugh, stories, jokes, etc. Also, loved what he said the tabloids were best used for. Miss you Michael!! And Johnny and Ed, too, of course.
I love Michael Landon...💜
I love the Little House on the Prairie...💙
One of the best series ever... 💖
He was truly one of the greatest actors of all time. Gone far, far to soon. Almost 30 years since he's passed. He was such a huge influence on me growing up. Time passes way to fast In life. Thank you for your gift to us. You've left a huge legacy upon us.
Common sense and sensitivity. Wonderful Actor and person. Love His sense of humor
I once read an interview where Landon was asked how it was so easy for him to cry while cameras were rolling. He said he had a close relationship with his father. When he was an adult he had learned that his father was heinous physically abused as a child and all he had to do was think of his dad being abused , and the water works would surge. That's some dedication to go to that dark of a place.
What a lovely guy, God bless his soul !!
Such an awesome guy and roll model. I wish there was more of us like him. Rip.
I saw this the night it was taped. My thoughts at the time were that Michael Landon was a very brave man to be facing that dreadful disease with a smile on his face, and a great attitude. He knew that Johnny Carson would treat him with dignity. The entire segment was conducted with style and class. Michael Landon’s final TV appearance was a triumph of the soul.
He was so right about the cancer in our society
Suzie Paris Suzie imagine what he thinks in heaven looking down on social media commentary
5G will have cancer rates skyrocketing. 😢
100%
I remember watching little house on the prairie,,Mr Landon showed me how to b a man ,and how to b a father from watching that show ,,he was a big impact in my life , may he rest in peace ,and may he be with our Lord Jesus Christ ,,,great man
He was an Icon, we all took something from his work. He was a true gift
@Bestoink DooleyAre you the guy that always carries an umbrella to parades?
@@acheartist harharhar! he is - bc he always stands in front of me
Amen🙏🏻
he taught me how to be an angel :)
I loved him In everything! He came across as a really kind caring man. He was so talented. The world lost a great man too early!!😢
If he was alive today he would still have those good looks and great head of hair. Taken way too soon. Rip Michael.
Yep
And don't forget that smile. That smile could brighten anyone's day.
Kevin Olson yep I laugh everytime
That laugh of his is what cracks me up.
My wife died of the same disease in 2017. She had the same attitude and sense of humor as Michael did.
Michael, I have only got the utmost respect and admiration for you. What a classy actor you were ! Not only that, but to me, you were such a GENUINE person ! Heaven is where you are now ! Well done my man !!
Two legends right here. I loved Michael. Til this day I still think he was the most handsome man who came out of Hollywood...
Greatest actor who ever lived as far as I'm concerned. We need his kind of programming in today's world. I miss him so much. That one scene from "Us" nearly did me in - it would have been another Michael Landon treasure.
Rip Michael Landon and Johnny Carson . Here’s Johnny loved that line.
Micheal Landon was a cool person to have met! He was a very funny guy and a huge since of humor! There will never be anyone like him!
So right Michael, media is the cancer of society. That little clip played made me tear up a bit ☹️
Same going on today in 2021!!! The News cancer!
Yes Media, News, talk shows etc. are all cancers. A cancer of society’s soul.
Tv Media is a shameful tool, full of lies and very biased because they and all their journalists are owned and horrid
@@hollydavis2261 they are unable to think for themselves. Puppets for their networks! Very sad, but I have no mercy or patience for any of them. Thankfully I don’t watch or read any of their nonsense. I choose not to be insulted by the mindless. ✌️
Media is fine..i.e.networks, CNN.... It's LYING ORANGE AID TRUMP & his sadistic followers that are today's cancer. That, too, shall soon pass.
johnny and michael truly loved each other ....
That beautiful mop of hair, handsome as ever, such a good man, I loved him in Bonanza- - He reminds me of my first love, David, who died on Valentine’s Day 2013 at age 57 from liver cancer - ❤️❤️
I love that Michael Landon called out the tabloids (media). RIP Michael Landon.
Landon's heart was as big as his hair. He was a very decent man.
Crashburn 32 loved him to bit!!!
Yeah, he was principled. At the time (late 80's), virtually all of Hollywood production did not respect the old Screen Extras Guild and refused to pay the $90/8 rate. ONLY Landon's "Highway to Heaven" did.
He was a conceited, power hungry man who didn’t care who he stepped on to get his glory.
If I were given the same news as Michael was, I only hope I could face it with his courage. What a class act.
God bless you all.bless Michael.
Too bad Michael is gone far too soon. We miss that smile and his laughter! He was a great person to watch on the tv and he will be missed forever! R.I.P. Michael!
That pilot he did looked amazing
It was so sad to see this man leave us...I grew up with Little Joe Cartwright and Charles Ingalls. So heartbreaking...
The pilot looked excellent...as in all the shows he did.
I miss Johnny too...
May both these men rest in peace...
Two of the greatest entertainers. I miss the simpler times when we all could laugh together while facing anything.
TWO OF THE GREATEST COMEDIANS AND SHOWMEN AND GENTLEMEN!! THEY ARE TRULY MISSED!! R.I.P. DEAR JOHNNY AND MICHAEL...YOU MADE US FEEL SO HAPPY WATCHING....NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🇩🇪❣
Love Michael Landon and how passionate he spoke against the tabloids, as well as his sense of humor. Love me some Lil Joe.
2 of my favorite human beings of all time. RIP gentleman.
From the Ponderosa as Little Joe Cartwright to the Little House on the Prairie as Charles Ingalls to his other shows like Heaven,he was one of my favorite actors who always touched your heart.
Johnny Carson WAS and WILL always hold the title as the best late night show host on television!!
for what it is worth..i am 73. Michael Landon was my first 'crush.' i cut out every picture i could find of him (No internet those days folks!) I thought, and still do..he was the most handsome man that ever lived.
I don't necessarily agree with other posters, that he was a great actor, but he had a charisma that, for women especially, went beyond the ideal of male beauty and his general portrayal of a bloke we would all like to be loved by, was overwhelming.
I looked at his picture cellotaped to my wardrobe, before I went to bed at night, and he was the first face i saw in the morning. I would have swapped my middle class upbringing to be at the Ponderosa with him in an instant. He could, all at the same time, be a brother or, a lover……(no incestuous connotations meant ! We didn't know about those distinctions in the 'old days'.)
He was, I suppose, my first sexual fantasy and even now, at my age, I can say that these Hollywood manufactured idols are nothing in comparison to the supreme, natural and incomparable..Michael Landon.
n
You made a young girl very happy and an old one very sad you are no longer with us...
.
i AM WITH YOU ON THAT,,
Guts and wisdom. Things humanity could use a lot more of. RIP Michael - you are missed and not forgotten.
Traduzioneeeeee
Two classy men whose talents are 'off the charts' -- no one even comes close to their ability to connect w/ an audience! Forever missed & dearly loved!
He is a great man and heaven needs people like him
Loved Johnny and loved Michael Landon!
not enough to write his name properly though :P
Me too, I love Johnny Cargson
And you see the warmth between them. They were really good friends.
Hard to believe he’s been gone almost 30 years.
I thought the same thing. My mom passed away with cancer in '93 and I shake my head every year.
Holy crap! Really. I can’t believe it.
My dad passed on from liver cancer just a few months prior to this show with Michael Landon, who had liver cancer and passed shortly after. I grew up, like many, watching Little House... Needless to say, I remember this episode.
Traci Scheelk he died from aggressive form of pancreatic cancer. He got a headache in April and was dead in July such a shame he died so young.
@@johnbrett8788 Thank you for reminding me. My father had pancreatic and liver cancer. It went very fast. My father was not the type to go to the doctor or say he wasn't feeling well. He was diagnosed, home one week on chemo, then in the hospital for only one week before passing.
I stayed with him on a bed next to him in the hospital. He rapidly weakened so severely. The pain was that time in the hospital, at least only when he would say and did seem so. He was horribly weak, but only those four days before he went into an hepatic coma.
They told us it would only be a few days. Three days later he passed. He came out of the coma to look in my eyes and know me. I held his hand before he woke. He was communicating with his eyes, though this is "medically impossible". I told him I loved him. He took three very gentle breaths with the deepest peace in his eyes and passed.
His essence or spirt immediately filled the room magnified - like one-millionfold is the only way i can describe it. It was intense and lasted hours as my family came and I reassured them that He was at peace.
Nothing preconditioned me for that experience. I treasure it to this day. I also had divine experiences of his presence after which were profound and continued.
I'm a disabled vet from nerve gas. I was bed ridden. I prayed and studied the Bible every day. I was "permanently brain-damaged". It was extremely mechanical.
I was terribly distraught, but this is when healing came progressively. This was eight years after the damage. The muscle-wasting continued, but I had many miracles. My cat was even healed of blindness.
I felt my father with me, and feel him every time I think of him. My memory of him is crystal clear - incredibly tangible.
I asked God - really demanded - when I found out he had cancer that if He wasn't going to heal him, to not let him suffer and take him quickly. He did.
I've been so grateful he didn't suffer and went fast since. This program with Michael Landon really took me back, bringing all the emotions of the time. I was in a daze and overwhelmed, so wasn't didn't describe the pancreatic and liver. It started pancreas and went to his liver.
I sure can't wait to see my father! :) . He must have pulled some strings up there. He's been my guardian angel.
I never regretted anything with my father. I always treasured him and respected him. I showed him. I'm very glad for that too. He was such a good man. He only raised his voice, gruffly, three times in my life.
One time was when I went out in a blizzard and got a concussion. He was upset and worried that I didn't listen. I was an adult.
He NEVER hollered. Everyone who knew him had high respect for his character and generosity.
Yes, Michael Landon was a great man. Aggressive is better than endless suffering.
He surely left his mark.
Bill Bixby said the same thing about the tabloids, 2 years later and a few months before his death from prostate cancer. Both Michael and Bill are sorely missed.
Hey George Karampatakis, how long after that did Johnny Carson pass away?
@@lenovovo: There's a thing called Google. You may have heard of it.
@LENOVOVO Johnny died 14 years later in 2005.
@@man-bagdammit2297 Thank you Man-Bag Dammit, thank you so very much. You know what Man-Bag Dammit, it disturbs and saddens me so very much that Johnny and Joan situation was never resolved. Joan loved that man and tried so very hard to make it right. Even after he died, Joan went over to his grave and sit down at the head of his grave and talked to him as though as he was alive and ask for his forgiveness. She never meant to hurt Johnny in any way. I watched a video documentary of her explaining her side of the story, which a lot of people don't know and care not to know why she did what she did and it was never to get back at Johnny or revenge or nothing like that and I believe her wholeheartedly. You know Man-Bag Dammit, for the most part, people tend to accent the negative instead of the positive. I am so very glad that I don't fit into that category. Now that they are both on the other side, There is no doubt in my mind that they have resolve their differences and they are both laughing about it. Anyways, thanks again Man-Bag Dammit for letting me know about Johnny's death. Have a great day ok. :-) :-) :-)

Even as a young girl I imagined marrying a man like him. The qualities he represented and taught by example was, is and will always be what I search for in my soulmate. I think this is the reason why I am still single, because this quality of men is so rare to find, at least in my life experience and the county I live in.
I pray that someday I will come across a man that lives up to the expectations and standards that Mr. Landon threw his shows and life exemplified as a human being, a man, a father, role model and friend. I also pray that I am teaching my son to be this kind of man when he grows up. Thank you for the love, laughter and lessons you gave us Mr. Landon, God gave us a true gift when he shared you with us! My you be in his loving light and your soul at peace knowing that for many around the world not only did your shows touch our hearts but they taught us to be better human being in general. YOU ARE MISSED!!!!
Michael Landon was in our home on tv when I was born and I watched Bonanza tonight over 50 years later. He has always been there and always will be .Most amazing person . .
