I continually watch Little House and Highway to Heaven because it keeps my thoughts and heart grounded in the world we live today. The world needs more Michael Landon's. He provided shows, truths and beliefs that were soulful and gave faith and hope. Thank you Michael Landon
I so agree with you. Everybody should she Little house and Highway to heaven. There 's such a great lesson in it. Makes you realize what is important in live and how we should treat each other.
I haven’t lived a sinless life so I won’t comment negatively towards anyone. I grew up watching Bonazza, then Little House and finally Highway to Heaven a loved each one. The last two always left me wanting to be a better person.
A wise and thoughtful comment. Life is hard. When the good we've done outweighs by soooo much - the mistakes- I think we can be proud. And that is so true with this man. 😊💕
Bless your heart TC, my grandmother used to say every heart knows it's own pain, if all of us would look at ourselves with the same scrutiny would we not all be better humans and the world a better place? I never understood why we always gravitate to the bad even when there is so much more good to see. The good outweighs the bad but the one bad is always spoken of and dwelled upon, and who decides what was the bad Mike did, why do we expect perfection from some but so readily excuse the imperfections of our own family and friends?
I am 65 and I was among the first generation of TV kids, and Mr. Landon meant a lot to us. I was heartbroken when I heard the news about his health, and was crestfallen that he went so quickly.
@Philip Hatfield - I agree completely with every sentiment you expressed. I fell in love with Joe Cartwright and then Pa and Jonathan. I watched him that last time on Johnny Carson and sick as he looked, still never imagining he wouldn't survive. My heart 💔😢
I had the pleasure of doing business with Michael Landon on a screenplay of mine in Hollywood, when I worked there as an actor/ screenwriter and he was a joy to behold. Kind, genuine and a real gentleman. A million best wishes, Mike..
I was a 1970 s child grew up watching "Little House on the Prairie". Michael was everybody's adorable "pa". I even started calling my dad "pa" and he didn't mind that. I loved his carefree laughter and still enjoy watching him. RIP you sweet sweet "pa"
Awww Micheal was such a great actor and person and so real. I enjoyed his show Little House On The Prairie and I still love it it’s a classic May he rest in piece Hollywood was awesome when he was around. He was the perfect tv dad
Michael was an angel from Heaven. The programs he created showed his heart. You made the world a better place Michael.....Thank you...30 yrs. ago today a light was taken from us...
Michael Landon was my very favorite Male actor... I loved the characters he played... the angel, the dad, the characters he played all spoke of his heart. Thank you Michael.

Michael Landon died July 1st 1991 same day as my Mom 😢 I enjoyed little house on the prairie and highway to Heaven it was family time when any one of those programs came on. Miss the 80's
One of the great quotes from Michael during his press conference was; "I've had a pretty good lick here". Thankful that he was born gifted and confident that he used all those gifts in the manner that GOD intended. RIP Mr. Landon. There will never be another like you.
RIP Michael Landon, he truly was an incredible human being. Creating and starring in iconic television programs that all of us and all families could enjoy (Little House On The Prarie, Highway To Heaven). Thank you for being on this earth Michael Landon and for making the world a better place.
I met Micheal several times at the same Fish store in Northridge, Ca., years ago. I found him to be a very nice guy, down to earth and a gentleman. I was devastated when I learned of his sickness.
I was a child when little house was 1st on, now I'm 58 and still enjoying the series. Nothing better. I will love Michael Landon forevermore. Thanks for the memories.
I'm turning 57 . So was 10 in 1977 I would sit at home till 8.30 because for some reason I couldn't stand little house on the prairie . But prefered to watch Starsky and hutch .. go figure ..
I could never imagine Michael Landon ever wanting to hurt someone intentionally. He just lived his life in the best possible way anybody I know ever could. All this talk about him being an intentional uncaring person is preposterous in the extreme. He was more of a giver & not a taker every day he ever lived. I never met him nor does it matter. I observed him in person from a distance at an event in Las Vegas with his soon to be wife Cindy. He was nothing but incredibly happy smiling laughing and giggling with the public. He had this aura of invincible happiness encapsulating him. It’s not something you could ever forget.
Melissa Sue Anderson did come out & say Michael had a dark side. He passed away almost exactly 30 years ago. So there is no need to say more about him negatively as he is no longer on earth to defend himself. RIP Mr. Landon.
@@susanford2388 - She was referring to his psycholgical issues from having a crazy mother. He would get moody and his friends knew to just let him be. That's all there was to that. And you are right- RIP. He left behind 9 children who loved him and many many fans whose lives were deeply touched by his shows. His life was a short one but he "lived every minute" and he was a good and decent, kind and gentle human. That's all you can ask of any of us. 😊❤
@@sueannbellucci4304 Coincidentally, & equally sadly was his friend & fellow actor Victor French from Little House & Highway passed away at the same age 18 months before, in late 1989 I believe.
All that im sure is true! But he did commit adultery and left his wife of 19 yrs for a younger woman! Marriage is sacred in the eyes of God!! We all have consequences to endure when we r not living in His will.
I loved Michael Landon. Unlike most of Hollywood, it seems everything Michael was involved in was wholesome, family entertainment, and it was all quality work. Thank you to Michael and his family and friends for the support given him to continue quality work. Michael truly was an Angel to the world and to me and many I know, will always be remembered as such. He was handsome, funny, caring, kind, a humanitarian, a good husband and father as far as I hear. I know he is with the Lord. All he had, he gave back in his work. I pray for his family, friends, co-workers, and all who knew and loved him. God bless you Michael Landon and God bless all who supported him in his decisions and the works he got himself involved in. Thank you for a lifetime of great home, wholesome, entertainment that we could all sit with our families and enjoy, knowing there would be nothing embarrassing or to worry if it would be a bad influence on us our children or friends. I look forward to seeing you again in heaven, and thanking you for being the man you truly were, are and will always be.
I'm reading all the comments below about a person that died almost 31 years ago. What's amazing is most of the comments are less than one year old. Basically Michael is still remembered very fondly.
He is still alive, can we tell ? I remember him as Little Joe in Bonanza when I was only a child long long ago and despite other beautiful fiction he is still Little Joe. (Sorry for my bad english)
He seemed like such a great character...a big part of my childhood in England from Little House on the Praire. I used to talk to my children about the show and its morals and messages...he was great in it.
My dad was a diabetic over 15 years before I was born. My dad loved the classics and respected Michael Landon. My dads name was Michael too. My dad passed away 2 years ago this October from a rare form or cancer located in the bile ducts of the gastrointestinal system. He was only 66 also kinda young. He.was really apparently sick from cancer for only 6 weeks. The doctors didn't even know he had cancer till they did an autopsy. They thought it was an infection. The people who die younger were really good people.
An amazing man and so caring. Right up to the end of his life he was more concerned about the effect his illness was having on his loved ones, rather than what it was doing to him Little Joe forever
@@sueannbellucci4304 Well he was a decent guy regardless. But most social drinkers don't put vodka in their coffee. Or drink daily all day. So being in recovery myself I felt he was. It's an illness .
I grew up with Michael Landon and his many TV roles. I'll always miss him although we never met. That's the huge effect he has on his fans. Michael was truly genuine, one of a kind gentleman. #RIP ❤🌈✝️
Yes. A special person indeed. He clearly had a purpose in his short time on this planet. He was human so he made his share of mistakes but he was loving and caring and tried his very best to be a force for good. That's all any of us can do. And he was definitely successful at it. 😊
Original and sincere... he never let fame stand in the way of being himself, on and off the camera... always kept it real. God bless you, Michael, wherever, whomever you're portraying now.
Michael Landon was a solidly GOOD man who helped many. A true servant of God. He will someday be reunited with all of his loved ones and millions of others who loved him on this earth. God broke the mold when he created and blessed Michael Landon.
He gave up TV to be with his Family..but when he was told the Big Crew that worked with him, would be unemployed,he wrote Highway To Heaven to aid and employ them,what a Man,RIP tc
No man is a saint, and he may have had flaws, but he made great shows that made your heart melt, feel pain and made you think about everything, he was the most talented man as far as I'm concerned in the business. I watched the movie made by his son, and was disappointed a bit, as he just showed his father as a cad, Michael Landon was so much more, and he was old enough to know that, I think the very sad thing here is that his ex wife after spending 19 years with this man who gave her everything and who shared 5 children with him didn't have the decency to think about all the good times and good things he did and not go to his memorial or say goodbye and thank you to him, is more shameful than the infidelity he committed towards her, she needed to look in the mirror as she too cheated behind his first wife's back with him, so she has no right to be angry regarding their divorce, her actions say more of what a self centered ungracious person she was than him doing what he did. Regardless, I loved him growing up and now at 62 still watch his shows fondly and will always love how they make and made me feel. To me he was that Angel and I hope he got his wings when he got to Heaven as he deserved them. God Bless you Michael Landon.
I agree with just about everything you've said. I'm sure the divorce was horribly painful for her but enough years had passed - she could have gone to the service. Who knows what went through her head. It is Mike jr. who committed the most grievous, unforgivable sin in my mind! I'm sure he's in Heaven now. A real Angel! 💖💕
@@sueannbellucci4304 I don't think we have the right to judge Lynn. Just as we don't have the right to judge Mike. Because we weren't there. We didn't know them. Michael Jr does seem to have done the dirty on his father though. The film depicts Mike as some kind of monster and everyone else who knew him, including most of his family, have issues with it.
@@CathyKitson - I'm not judging her. I always had great sympathy for her. I know what is like to be left. It must have been a horrible time for her. 18 years with a beautiful man that you thought you would spend your whole life with - is hard to get over. But - at the same time- they were together 18 years and 10 years had passed. . . I just think she could have said a final goodbye to him at the service. Dodie was there. I'm just saying . . . 😊💖
I have just rewatched Highway to Heaven. His shows were great. People are complicated. And what I don't care for Is accusing people of things when they are no longer available to defend themselves.. ie passed away. Thank you for you work, Mr. Landon. After I watch one of your shows I always feel great!
What a great guy you don't find many actors like him anymore he was a true hearted caring person who loved his life he loved all life and his wife is truly beautiful inside and out
RIP Michael Landon, you brought such joy and a realization to me. You are still missed by me all these years later. You were an AMAZING person and human being. So privileged to you for sharing yourself over the many many years.
“Remember me with smiles and laughter” someone said that’s what he told them when they cried hysterically while meeting him and honestly I wasn’t even born yet or even thought about but that’s how I choose to remember him. He was amazing from what I can tell.
Hello! He actually wrote that for one of his Little House episodes. A woman knew she was dying and she had 3 young children. The minister read this at her funeral. Then when Michael died, his daughter read it at his service. He was on TV for 3p years. Many of us grew up with him. If you watched the biography you saw how he started as just a young actor and eventually became a writer, director and producer of great FAMILY entertainment - the likes of which we don't really see anymore. Mike Jr. is a pale imitation of his Father but from what I understand his shows are similar in content and he is a good family man. All of the values that his father taught him are evident. Despite what some haters says - he was- according to ALL of his children a kind and loving father and a good man. 😊💕
I feel truly blessed as I watched this. I too have been battling some dangerous medical problems for the last 8 years. Each one really testing my faith, fortitude, and gratitude for life, God, friends, family and strangers who I have encountered and interacted with across the years. Having reached the age 54 Michael Landon immediately came to mind as I outlasted some of my childhood favourites such as Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees and actor John Ritter both of whom died in sudden tragic fashion. Patrick Swayze as well. Knowing I could have left as well, but am still standing in spite of challenges is extremely humbling. As I now deal with the overwhelming family issues during my renaissance I'm doing my best to stay positive and continue smiling. This Easter is particularly special and church shall be uplifting. This is the legacy of Michael Landon- my TV Dad from childhood to adulthood has left made me the man I am today and has given me Highway To Heaven!!
From what I've seen and read of Michael Landon (senior), it's too, too bad that more people are not like Michael Landon, Sr. This very much applies to his oldest son. Thank you, A&E, for airing this wonderful tribute to a fine actor and an outstanding human being!
I have always loved him and will continue to do so. I still watch his shows no matter what He will always be my hero than and now forever. Susan keefe❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
What a lovely man. Sincerest Condolences to His Family. My Mom lost Her battle to Pancreatic Cancer July 3, 2012 at the age of 70. We need desperately to get more research on this monster called Pancreatic Cancer. Little House on the Pararie still on TV 2021. What a legacy to Mr. Landon.
I agree. I think that too many chemicals in our food and environment are causing diseases like cancer and autoimmune diseases. Also, stress plays a big part in how our body is able to cope. I'm sorry your mom passed away from cancer. It must have been terrible for you. I have two autoimmune diseases and bipolar disorder, so I'm aware of how disease can affect the body. The thing that gets me through it is my faith in God. I hope that you have this in your life to bring you peace and the hope that one day you will be able to see your mom in heaven. We are never alone in this world. Out heavenly Father is always with us to guide and comfort us in our struggles. I say this with love in my heart for you. God Bless You Alice. Your mom is in a good place and is smiling down on you. 🙏🕊😇⛪🌷🌻
I loved him and all his shows, never be anyone like him. He died the year I graduated HS. Forever in our 💕, and listening to this, tells me he was such a good man in real life!💖💖💖
I think Michael Landon was an amazing man and actor. I truly feel blessed that I was able to be a part of his life on the other side of the screen. I lost my father very early and I know that empty feeling. I am now 70 years old, so remember him as little Joe as well as all his other productions and was an avid watcher of Little House on the Prairie. I’m also a huge fan of Yellowstone and was amazed to find out that his daughter was the actresses in that production, all I can say is God bless him and his family
Ia casa della prateria e nata quando avevo 12 anni ma da quando lo scoperta ,nn ho rinunciato a perdermi una sola puntata adesso ne ho 62 ,e la vedo ancora cn gioa nel cuore ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤❤❤
Perhaps some of you - the very few - who are haters - should read what Michael Landon's children had to say about him as a man and as a Father. This includes Jr. They all talked to the Pancreatic Cancer Network to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his passing. So - all of his friends, all of his cast members and every single one of his children remember him as a kind and loving, generous, decent human being. One of a kind. Unforgettable. But you few haters of course, know better. How sad that you find happiness by believing the trash talk and looking for the worst in people instead of listening to those who know the truth. 😑💕
So very true. Unless you want to watch PBS Kids with your kids. There's certainly no adult entertainment you coukd watch - comfortably- with the whole family. 🙄
May Michael Landon Rest In Internal peace. One so deeply and sincerely loved by all who knew him. There will never ever be a replacement for Michael Landon. He was truly one of a kind..
YES Cindy, Michael DID make a positive difference to many through His Roles on programs. I Am one of those, since 8yo have adored Michael for what His Roles Stood For!!! And I still do. I'm 64 now. 🙏
10/1/23 He was so amazing not anything he did that’s wasn’t just over the top. I still watch’s his shows daily. I’m 63 don’t think that will ever change. RIP Michael you blessed us all with your amazing talent.
I name my son after him. He was so adorable and his giggle was infectious . Loved watching him on TV. Still watch re-runs of all his shows whenever I can. RIP
Michael Landon was a giant among men. I watched his series Little House on the prairie for a long time. And he always put the feeling of home into his shows. He was an outstanding actor. Even though he has left this world he left something behind. His real name was Eugene orowitz. He did more than portray a family man he was family. Every time America sit and watched his shows they became family.My heart felt empathy to his family and friends 🌹❤️RIP Michael Landon. Amen
Michael will always be little joe to me eversince i became a fan watchimg bananza and i was jhst only 6 years old when he passed also loved little house on the perry rip michael a true humanaterian and legemm d
I admire the greatness of Michael Landon, knowing that he had a very bad disease, he continued with humor, he never lost his wonderful smile... he left but he left us a very large legacy. The pity is that he could have lived longer to be able to create more series as good as the ones he did... RIP
No matter what he did, I loved him! His laugh was infectious and so great! He loved his family ! What a great actor and human being. I loved Bonanza, Little House and Highway to Heaven! No one can destroy his image for me.
Je regardais la petite maison dans la prairie depuis ma jeunesse j aime énormément michael Lindon et encore aujourd'hui a 66 ans je regarde tjrs la petite maison dans la prairie les gens se moquent de moi car ils trouvent bizarre de regarder ça a mon âge mais ils ne comprennent pas que je n ai jamais quitté mon âme d enfant et ce feuilleton m a tjrs fait rever et mis sur des voies positives et de bonnes remises en question une chanson un film peuvent faire beaucoup sur des enfants jusqu'à la fin de leurs jours bravo Michael je t envoie tout mon amour 💝
My Mom Loved and I mean Truly Loved Little House on the Prairie. She felt she was born in the wrong time, that was the way she wanted to live. But, the most important thing is, is that she dreamed and wished for a husband like “Charles” and Michael. My mom died at 38 yrs. old of Cancer never knowing what that kind of love felt like. We were abandoned a year before she passed away. Thank You Michael Landon for at least letting her see what could have been, that show was everything to her. R.I.P Sweet Sweet Man Michael Landon. 💫❤️
Thank you for sharing this story. It touched my heart and made me cry - for your loss and your Mother 😥 and our sweet Michael. I hope you don't mind but I shared it on my FB page: Michael Landon: Hero and Legend, Burning Brightly in Our Hearts. 😊💕💕💕
@@sueannbellucci4304 As long as my name wasn’t used. That man that hurt us so badly is still alive. Thank you for your kind words, everything about that Little House on the Prairie Show kept her fighting. So please let me know about the name thing, because we were all hurt very badly. Peace and Love ✨💫🦋
People should stop reading the tabloids as they are an absolute disgrace and have no conscience. Michael was one of my favourite actors and a very clever man as he knew what the public really liked. Highway to Heaven, always had me reaching for the tissues but the film I really loved was The Loneliest Runner, as I too, used to wet the bed all the time and my mum and my nan would get upset with me. From a fan's point of view, I thought Michael was handsome, warm, intelligent and funny and I felt very sad when he died. I don't ever recall hearing Mr Landon say he was the perfect human being, and that is why I think his son was very disrespectful to try and put his father in a bad light. For me, Michael Landon will always remain one of my favourties. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated
I couldn't have said it any better. I don't know why some people "choose" to believe the bad about people especially in this case after hearing the overwhelmingly positive, amazingly GOOD stories about him. Thank YOU!
I had a great uncle who died on the same day as Micheal. My mother, his niece, and our family didn't shed a teat or attend his funeral. He was a shitty human. But boy, did we cry for Micheal. We considered him worthy of our grief. In a way, we are still sad over Michaels passing.
Sorry about your Uncle, Regina but that is a lovely story. And not such an uncommon one to hear. Many of us, for many different reasons, still miss this man. Thanks for sharing this. ❤
There are several biographies on my channel plus the very wonderful, "Genius of Michsel Landon" . I'm.so pleased you enjoyed this. He was a truly amazing talent. 🙂
I meet Michael on the set of Little House on the Prairie I was 11 I remember looking up at him he said hi and asked if I was having fun he was really nice and caring as I remember RIP
I continually watch Little House and Highway to Heaven because it keeps my thoughts and heart grounded in the world we live today. The world needs more Michael Landon's. He provided shows, truths and beliefs that were soulful and gave faith and hope. Thank you Michael Landon
Thank you Deta Bennett. This is why we all remember this man. You stated it so beautifully. 😊😊

So Mr. Landon was human, he'll always be remembered as the man with a good message and for that he will be respected. My opinion.

I am currently watching Little House again. On season 2. Cannot beat this wholesome show that was a part of my childhood.

I'm reading all the comments below about a person that died almost 31 years ago. What's amazing is most of the comments are less than one year old. Basically Michael is still remembered very fondly.
He is still alive, can we tell ?
I remember him as Little Joe in Bonanza when I was only a child long long ago and despite other beautiful fiction he is still Little Joe.
(Sorry for my bad english)
Hard to believe its 30 years ago time does fly
he was a bad man on set
@@ToddyTornadono he wasn't. He was good man.
@meghanmisaliar he drank allot on SET and was mean to his co actors
He seemed like such a great character...a big part of my childhood in England from Little House on the Praire. I used to talk to my children about the show and its morals and messages...he was great in it.
That is exactly what he wanted. Bless you!!
Really loved Michael landen great example to everyone and talented 👍🤗❤️
Grande, Michael Landon, por aquí en España, se le quería mucho, a través de La casa de la Pradera, y Autopista hacia el cielo.
My dad was always sick when I was a child and he loved Michael Landon. I've always seen my dad when watching Michael. Rest in peace M.L. 🙏😥
My dad was a diabetic over 15 years before I was born. My dad loved the classics and respected Michael Landon. My dads name was Michael too. My dad passed away 2 years ago this October from a rare form or cancer located in the bile ducts of the gastrointestinal system. He was only 66 also kinda young. He.was really apparently sick from cancer for only 6 weeks. The doctors didn't even know he had cancer till they did an autopsy. They thought it was an infection. The people who die younger were really good people.
52 and still tape and watch the show nightly. This show is a classic and I loved every character. RIP Mr. Landon. I loved PA!
I'M older thzn you and still watch LH as well as Bonanza and Highway! 😊
I cried watching this he was a wonderful man that loved his family
An amazing man and so caring. Right up to the end of his life he was more concerned about the effect his illness was having on his loved ones, rather than what it was doing to him
Little Joe forever
@@Nooneyall he was still a good man. Alcoholism is an illness to.
@@patchr5491 He was not an alcoholic - although he drank and it probably contributed to his death sadly.
@@sueannbellucci4304 Well he was a decent guy regardless. But most social drinkers don't put vodka in their coffee. Or drink daily all day. So being in recovery myself I felt he was. It's an illness .
@@patchr5491 - He may have been an alcoholic by definition but he was no drunk. Andcthe only person his drinkibg ever hurt was - himself. 😥
@@sueannbellucci4304 true
I grew up with Michael Landon and his many TV roles. I'll always miss him although we never met. That's the huge effect he has on his fans. Michael was truly genuine, one of a kind gentleman.
#RIP ❤🌈✝️
Yes. A special person indeed. He clearly had a purpose in his short time on this planet. He was human so he made his share of mistakes but he was loving and caring and tried his very best to be a force for good. That's all any of us can do. And he was definitely successful at it. 😊
Original and sincere... he never let fame stand in the way of being himself, on and off the camera... always kept it real. God bless you, Michael, wherever, whomever you're portraying now.
How very sweet. Yes. He was a special soul. Thank you! 😊
What a great man, I've watched him since I was a kid ,Bonanza, LHOP, HTH...R.I.P..Michael..!
Micheal was a great person loved him
‘’
I wish we still had actors with his grace. I’ll be excited to meet him in heaven! Rest In Peace!
Michael Landon was a solidly GOOD man who helped many. A true servant of God. He will someday be reunited with all of his loved ones and millions of others who loved him on this earth. God broke the mold when he created and blessed Michael Landon.
I love what you said and agree completely ❤
So sweet. I think of him often. 🙏🏻
Great guy!!!! Still watch his shows !!Highway to Heaven and Little house on the prairie!!!!God Bless him always!!!😥🙏❤
Michael Landon meant alot to me growing up!!!! I still watch him today. Wonderful family man!!!!
I couldn't agree more. I loved him the 1st time I saw him - on Bonanza! Many years ago 😁
Thank you Michael for all that you did for us..
He gave up TV to be with his Family..but when he was told the Big Crew that worked with him, would be unemployed,he wrote Highway To Heaven to aid and employ them,what a Man,RIP tc
No man is a saint, and he may have had flaws, but he made great shows that made your heart melt, feel pain and made you think about everything, he was the most talented man as far as I'm concerned in the business. I watched the movie made by his son, and was disappointed a bit, as he just showed his father as a cad, Michael Landon was so much more, and he was old enough to know that, I think the very sad thing here is that his ex wife after spending 19 years with this man who gave her everything and who shared 5 children with him didn't have the decency to think about all the good times and good things he did and not go to his memorial or say goodbye and thank you to him, is more shameful than the infidelity he committed towards her, she needed to look in the mirror as she too cheated behind his first wife's back with him, so she has no right to be angry regarding their divorce, her actions say more of what a self centered ungracious person she was than him doing what he did. Regardless, I loved him growing up and now at 62 still watch his shows fondly and will always love how they make and made me feel. To me he was that Angel and I hope he got his wings when he got to Heaven as he deserved them. God Bless you Michael Landon.
I agree with just about everything you've said. I'm sure the divorce was horribly painful for her but enough years had passed - she could have gone to the service. Who knows what went through her head. It is Mike jr. who committed the most grievous, unforgivable sin in my mind! I'm sure he's in Heaven now. A real Angel! 💖💕
@@sueannbellucci4304 may I ask what movie did he make? I’m only aware of Michael Landon Jr.’s work with Hallmark movies
@@KeKe4Christ "The Father I Knew". It's an EXTREMELY unflattering portrayal of Mike Landon and it's available here on YT.
@@sueannbellucci4304 I don't think we have the right to judge Lynn. Just as we don't have the right to judge Mike. Because we weren't there. We didn't know them. Michael Jr does seem to have done the dirty on his father though. The film depicts Mike as some kind of monster and everyone else who knew him, including most of his family, have issues with it.
@@CathyKitson - I'm not judging her. I always had great sympathy for her. I know what is like to be left. It must have been a horrible time for her. 18 years with a beautiful man that you thought you would spend your whole life with - is hard to get over. But - at the same time- they were together 18 years and 10 years had passed. . . I just think she could have said a final goodbye to him at the service. Dodie was there. I'm just saying . . . 😊💖
I have just rewatched Highway to Heaven. His shows were great. People are complicated. And what I don't care for Is accusing people of things when they are no longer available to defend themselves.. ie passed away. Thank you for you work, Mr. Landon. After I watch one of your shows I always feel great!
@jennic.548 - Exactly!
What a great guy you don't find many actors like him anymore he was a true hearted caring person who loved his life he loved all life and his wife is truly beautiful inside and out
RIP Michael Landon, you brought such joy and a realization to me. You are still missed by me all these years later. You were an AMAZING person and human being. So privileged to you for sharing yourself over the many many years.
And me 2!
Michael Landon is a man with a heart of gold who deeply touched so many lives. Thank you for touching our souls.
@Dee Parker - Couldn't agree more. 😊💞
“Remember me with smiles and laughter” someone said that’s what he told them when they cried hysterically while meeting him and honestly I wasn’t even born yet or even thought about but that’s how I choose to remember him. He was amazing from what I can tell.
Hello! He actually wrote that for one of his Little House episodes. A woman knew she was dying and she had 3 young children. The minister read this at her funeral. Then when Michael died, his daughter read it at his service. He was on TV for 3p years. Many of us grew up with him. If you watched the biography you saw how he started as just a young actor and eventually became a writer, director and producer of great FAMILY entertainment - the likes of which we don't really see anymore. Mike Jr. is a pale imitation of his Father but from what I understand his shows are similar in content and he is a good family man. All of the values that his father taught him are evident. Despite what some haters says - he was- according to ALL of his children a kind and loving father and a good man. 😊💕
I met Michael in 1983. It was a benefit for American cancer society he was a good human being funny and so nice he never met a stranger
He was a talented actor! Highly successful. Died too soon.. RIP! Blessings and prayers to his family.
Beautiful man!! I still watch his shows Highway to Heaven and Little House on the Prairie❤️❤️God Bless Michael Landon Always😢🙏❤️
There will never be another Michael for sure! Glad to be alive to enjoy any moments he shared to us!
I feel truly blessed as I watched this. I too have been battling some dangerous medical problems for the last 8 years. Each one really testing my faith, fortitude, and gratitude for life, God, friends, family and strangers who I have encountered and interacted with across the years. Having reached the age 54 Michael Landon immediately came to mind as I outlasted some of my childhood favourites such as Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees and actor John Ritter both of whom died in sudden tragic fashion. Patrick Swayze as well. Knowing I could have left as well, but am still standing in spite of challenges is extremely humbling. As I now deal with the overwhelming family issues during my renaissance I'm doing my best to stay positive and continue smiling. This Easter is particularly special and church shall be uplifting. This is the legacy of Michael Landon- my TV Dad from childhood to adulthood has left made me the man I am today and has given me Highway To Heaven!!
Bless you and good luck! And good health!
RIP Michael. You were my favorite actor and I miss the genuine happiness that you brought through the TV screen, and into my home/heart.
He was good to so many,I watched all his movies,he was loved in our family.
Yes Mike you made a huge difference!!!
From what I've seen and read of Michael Landon (senior), it's too, too bad that more people are not like Michael Landon, Sr. This very much applies to his oldest son. Thank you, A&E, for airing this wonderful tribute to a fine actor and an outstanding human being!
Loved Micheal Landon . He was so great as pa in Little House. Rip
Michael Landon was and will always be my FAVORITE actor
RIP
😋
Loved him all these years...Wonderful Actor and had a heart of gold....
I have always loved him and will continue to do so. I still watch his shows no matter what
He will always be my hero than and now forever. Susan keefe❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I will always love Michael Landon
What a lovely man. Sincerest Condolences to His Family. My Mom lost Her battle to Pancreatic Cancer July 3, 2012 at the age of 70. We need desperately to get more research on this monster called Pancreatic Cancer. Little House on the Pararie still on TV 2021. What a legacy to Mr. Landon.
I agree. I think that too many chemicals in our food and environment are causing diseases like cancer and autoimmune diseases. Also, stress plays a big part in how our body is able to cope. I'm sorry your mom passed away from cancer. It must have been terrible for you. I have two autoimmune diseases and bipolar disorder, so I'm aware of how disease can affect the body. The thing that gets me through it is my faith in God. I hope that you have this in your life to bring you peace and the hope that one day you will be able to see your mom in heaven. We are never alone in this world. Out heavenly Father is always with us to guide and comfort us in our struggles. I say this with love in my heart for you. God Bless You Alice. Your mom is in a good place and is smiling down on you. 🙏🕊😇⛪🌷🌻
I loved him and all his shows, never be anyone like him. He died the year I graduated HS. Forever in our 💕, and listening to this, tells me he was such a good man in real life!💖💖💖
Very sad, I will always miss him!😭
Still makes me cry.
He was the television 📺 dad we all wanted to have , and when we grew up he was the television 📺 husband we all wanted ❤️
I think Michael Landon was an amazing man and actor. I truly feel blessed that I was able to be a part of his life on the other side of the screen. I lost my father very early and I know that empty feeling. I am now 70 years old, so remember him as little Joe as well as all his other productions and was an avid watcher of Little House on the Prairie. I’m also a huge fan of Yellowstone and was amazed to find out that his daughter was the actresses in that production, all I can say is God bless him and his family
Yes to everything you said! ❤
I have said it before, and I will say it again. I believe Michael's whole life was his highway to heaven. Now he is a real angel.
Ia casa della prateria e nata quando avevo 12 anni ma da quando lo scoperta ,nn ho rinunciato a perdermi una sola puntata adesso ne ho 62 ,e la vedo ancora cn gioa nel cuore ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He died at 54, and yet lived enough lives for 3 people!! RIP, dear Pa.
My favorite was “Little House On The Prairie”. It was like Michael Landon himself. Honorable, true, and poignant.
Perhaps some of you - the very few - who are haters - should read what Michael Landon's children had to say about him as a man and as a Father. This includes Jr. They all talked to the Pancreatic Cancer Network to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his passing. So - all of his friends, all of his cast members and every single one of his children remember him as a kind and loving, generous, decent human being. One of a kind. Unforgettable. But you few haters of course, know better. How sad that you find happiness by believing the trash talk and looking for the worst in people instead of listening to those who know the truth. 😑💕
Thank you.
They don't make tv shows like michael Landon incredible body of work anymore. Family shows you can watch with your kids.
So very true. Unless you want to watch PBS Kids with your kids. There's certainly no adult entertainment you coukd watch - comfortably- with the whole family. 🙄
May Michael Landon Rest In Internal peace. One so deeply and sincerely loved by all who knew him. There will never ever be a replacement for Michael Landon. He was truly one of a kind..
Smile, which makes you look younger, laugh, which makes everybody else laugh and be kind, which hopefully will rub off to everybody else! Kindness!
Loved him!!!!so humble and kind!!!😇😇😇❤❤❤❤❤❤
YES Cindy, Michael DID make a positive difference to many through His Roles on programs. I Am one of those, since 8yo have adored Michael for what His Roles Stood For!!! And I still do. I'm 64 now. 🙏
So, BRAVE. No matter which decade always touching our lives. in a welcoming way.
The world still needs Michael. He left a hole in our hearts.
R.I.P. Michael Landon I watched all the show he played and produced. He was a great guy. 🙏😇🙌💯😞
A genius in TV. Little House my favorite.
⭐Excellent.. Brilliant.. Magnific.. Man.. 💚R. I. P 💚Michael ❤️
Ik heb zoveel geleerd en genoten van alles wat ik van koning landon heb gezien topper!!!!!!!
Era una persona meravigliosa,un attore bravissimo che purtroppo se ne andato troppo presto, riposa in pace caro Michael ❤️❤️
Sono completamente d'accordo ! 💞
I remember his laugh from Bonanza, unforgetable. 🥰
10/1/23 He was so amazing not anything he did that’s wasn’t just over the top. I still watch’s his shows daily. I’m 63 don’t think that will ever change. RIP Michael you blessed us all with your amazing talent.
@robynhendrickson2801- As Dean Butler said - he will never be forgotten!❤
I name my son after him. He was so adorable and his giggle was infectious . Loved watching him on TV. Still watch re-runs of all his shows whenever I can. RIP
Don’t know how that number 5 got out there, but anyway I loved Michael in all his movies and TV shows. He was a great actor!
3 simple words... I Love Michael 🙏
2 words for me: Me too! 😊💕
Michael Landon was a giant among men. I watched his series Little House on the prairie for a long time. And he always put the feeling of home into his shows. He was an outstanding actor. Even though he has left this world he left something behind. His real name was Eugene orowitz. He did more than portray a family man he was family. Every time America sit and watched his shows they became family.My heart felt empathy to his family and friends 🌹❤️RIP Michael Landon. Amen
Michael will always be little joe to me eversince i became a fan watchimg bananza and i was jhst only 6 years old when he passed also loved little house on the perry rip michael a true humanaterian and legemm d
Saudoso e querido landon. Um icone da dramaturgia! Magnífico! ❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻 Obrigada! Paz e.luz.
@aparecidacampos1048- Concorda 100%! ❤️
Poor guy. He only made shows that were honest, wholesome, & nice. So unfair how God took him from us. Such a nice person. RIP
I admire the greatness of Michael Landon, knowing that he had a very bad disease, he continued with humor, he never lost his wonderful smile... he left but he left us a very large legacy. The pity is that he could have lived longer to be able to create more series as good as the ones he did... RIP
@Ana Cordoba - For sure! 💖
No matter what he did, I loved him! His laugh was infectious and so great! He loved his family ! What a great actor and human being. I loved Bonanza, Little House and Highway to Heaven! No one can destroy his image for me.
He was a wonderful human being and his legacy of great family entertainment endures to this day. ❤️
Disney should take note of what families really want in tv
Je regardais la petite maison dans la prairie depuis ma jeunesse j aime énormément michael Lindon et encore aujourd'hui a 66 ans je regarde tjrs la petite maison dans la prairie les gens se moquent de moi car ils trouvent bizarre de regarder ça a mon âge mais ils ne comprennent pas que je n ai jamais quitté mon âme d enfant et ce feuilleton m a tjrs fait rever et mis sur des voies positives et de bonnes remises en question une chanson un film peuvent faire beaucoup sur des enfants jusqu'à la fin de leurs jours bravo Michael je t envoie tout mon amour 💝
My Mom Loved and I mean Truly Loved Little House on the Prairie. She felt she was born in the wrong time, that was the way she wanted to live. But, the most important thing is, is that she dreamed and wished for a husband like “Charles” and Michael. My mom died at 38 yrs. old of Cancer never knowing what that kind of love felt like. We were abandoned a year before she passed away. Thank You Michael Landon for at least letting her see what could have been, that show was everything to her. R.I.P Sweet Sweet Man Michael Landon. 💫❤️
Thank you for sharing this story. It touched my heart and made me cry - for your loss and your Mother 😥 and our sweet Michael. I hope you don't mind but I shared it on my FB page: Michael Landon: Hero and Legend, Burning Brightly in Our Hearts. 😊💕💕💕
@@sueannbellucci4304 As long as my name wasn’t used. That man that hurt us so badly is still alive. Thank you for your kind words, everything about that Little House on the Prairie Show kept her fighting. So please let me know about the name thing, because we were all hurt very badly. Peace and Love ✨💫🦋
@@BlueBirdsSong I assume Moondance is just a pen name? That's all I used.
@@sueannbellucci4304 Hahaha…yes. ☺️ Thank You
Really lk Michael rip its ashame he didnt lv till he was old really gd actor and enjoyed about his programme he did
People should stop reading the tabloids as they are an absolute disgrace and have no conscience. Michael was one of my favourite actors and a very clever man as he knew what the public really liked. Highway to Heaven, always had me reaching for the tissues but the film I really loved was The Loneliest Runner, as I too, used to wet the bed all the time and my mum and my nan would get upset with me. From a fan's point of view, I thought Michael was handsome, warm, intelligent and funny and I felt very sad when he died. I don't ever recall hearing Mr Landon say he was the perfect human being, and that is why I think his son was very disrespectful to try and put his father in a bad light. For me, Michael Landon will always remain one of my favourties. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated
I couldn't have said it any better. I don't know why some people "choose" to believe the bad about people especially in this case after hearing the overwhelmingly positive, amazingly GOOD stories about him. Thank YOU!
I still watch little House on the Paire. RIP Michael Landon. Such a great actor. God bless.
I had a great uncle who died on the same day as Micheal. My mother, his niece, and our family didn't shed a teat or attend his funeral. He was a shitty human. But boy, did we cry for Micheal. We considered him worthy of our grief. In a way, we are still sad over Michaels passing.
Sorry about your Uncle, Regina but that is a lovely story. And not such an uncommon one to hear. Many of us, for many different reasons, still miss this man. Thanks for sharing this. ❤
Thank you Ms. Belluci for this biography..I’ve been watching his shows lately and wanted to know his story 💖
There are several biographies on my channel plus the very wonderful, "Genius of Michsel Landon" . I'm.so pleased you enjoyed this. He was a truly amazing talent. 🙂
Michael, rip, I've always admired you
I meet Michael on the set of Little House on the Prairie I was 11 I remember looking up at him he said hi and asked if I was having fun he was really nice and caring as I remember RIP
Thank you for sharing this!
