Highway To Heaven

for Christmas, I got season 1 of Highway To Heaven for my mom. does anyone know if Michael Landon made other seasons of this show after the first one?

There are five seasons total. The first three have been released on DVD, but there are no immediate plans to release the last two seasons because sales have been so low.

This is ironic. We just ate at Cracker Barrel this morning and in their gift shop I saw the Highway to Heaven dvd set, season 1. You know, I really enjoyed that show back in the day, but I really didn't feel a pull to buy it. This could just be me, but I just don't think Highway to Heaven stands the test of time like Little House, or some of the other 'classic' series. It had a very 'hokey' feel to it, something that didn't bother me back then, but might be a bit too much to endure by today's standards. I don't know, maybe I'm way off base here. Just thinking out loud!

I will say though, Ingallsfan, that if you're a big fan (obviously so) that the first few seasons were definitely the best. The ratings really slipped for H to H with the last couple of seasons. I remember enjoying Season 1 the most.

I understand exactly what you're saying Amy. I watched it off an on during the time it aired, but it wasn't a must see for me. If Michael and Victor weren't in it, I doubt I would have watched it much. It dealt with harsh issues, but it didn't hold the appeal for me that Touched by an Angel did.

Ok, glad it's not just me. It wasn't a 'bad' show by any means---the concept was good I thought, I just thought it was a bit over the top, especially by the last couple of seasons.

I loved this show.

I have the first season on DVD... it's the only Michael Landon series I watched when I was younger and I agree that it doesn't age as well as Bonanza or LHOTP. But it has its moments. I'll certainly never forget the Halloween werewolf episode.

I saw season 1 of Highway to Heaven in Walmart today for $9 thats Cheap enough to buy even if it wasn't the greatest show still worth buying for that price, I already own season 1 but i'll keep my eye out for more seasons

Well, I bought this today for $7.50. Pretty good price for a whole season. I do hope I can find the others if I enjoy it enough to look for more seasons.

When it aired I just couldn't watch it. Michael was Pa Ingalls to me, not Johnathan. I loved that he and Victor were working together again, but it just didn't work for me. I will give it another shot and see how I like it now.

I love finding cheap dvds. I am like a squirrel storing up nuts for winter. hee! hee!

We are just alike in that area Gin i love buying dvds, I told my self i was gonna stop unless i found an exceptional deal.

I found season 2 at walmart for $9 a while back it looks like they are re releasing them again.

Oh, how I wish I could just come by and get you Jacob and go dvd shopping together! I do hope they are releasing them again. That would be great. Its a good show and who knows, those that watch might discover Little House if they hadn't already.

The first two seasons were rereleased last year and the third season this month. Viewers are complaining, however, that despite claiming "uncut" they have been edited and that the quality is very poor.

turned on the tv channel that sometimes shows Highway to Heaven episodes, and the episode with Matt Laborteaux is on!   

I don't remember watching this show.

Well Krissy, you can watch it right here!

Cool. Thanks.

I just bought seasons 2 and 3. I sure hope they eventually have 4 and 5. Haven't started watching it yet, but will soon.

Want a guest star list?
Just Kidding!

I've seen the star list. Its full of some awesome ones. I will probably have some time to get started soon. Can't wait.

Oh cool. Enjoy, Gin!   It's been ages since I've seen this show....
