    Storyline

    • Trivia
      NBC wanted a handsome young actor to play Mark Gordon, but Michael Landon had a long history of refusing to work with better-looking actors. He was even behind Guy Williams's dismissal from Bonanza (1959), feeling threatened by the newcomer's good looks and charisma. Landon insisted that he would only star in the series if his friend and Little House on the Prairie (1974) co-star Victor French was cast. The character of Mark Gordon was rewritten to suit the middle-aged Victor French.
    • Quotes

      Mark Gordon: Cute, Jonathan. Real cute.

    • Alternate versions
      Most of the original episodes, which aired on prime time television, normally contained between five to seven minutes of additional scenes and dialogue which has since been lost. This material was not included in any of the syndicated copies of the show, which today are the only versions available.

    Way The World Should Be
    Highway to Heaven is probably the greatest television show I have ever watched. Michael Landon showed us the viewers the way older people, people with disabilities, and others can be treated so badly in society. As Jonathan Smith Michael tried to instil better values in people, as well as showing us how to treat people with love and respect. Plus there was always plenty of action when Jonathan would be forced to defend people from thugs. One of my favourite episodes has to be the one where a man has his food taken from him by thugs, Jonathan says to the thugs c'mon give the kid back his food you've had your fun, when they refused Jonathan threw the thugs all over the place. The show also showed Jonathan and Mark on wonderful journey's from town to town each week, which was great. Michael Landon tried to show people how to love and laugh, just watching an episode makes you want to get out there and help someone out. I thank Michael Landon for inspiring me to be a better person. I will never forget what Michael Landon has contributed to my life, and I thank him so much. Highway to Heaven should be on television again, rather than the non-family oriented Reality Television Shows of today. Michael's television shows took me back to my childhood memories of my loving grandmother Mavis Brewis. I am certain that Michael Landon and my grandmother are now real angels of god.

    FAQ2

    • Did anyone ever ask Michael Landon why he wore the same one blue shirt as Jonathan in most of the scenes of all his episodes?
