The premiere season of Michael Landon's Highway to Heaven
is consolidated into this collector’s edition box set of
seven discs containing 24 episodes of faith and love. The
television series (1984-1989) has a loyal following because
of its compelling storylines and uplifting messages
characteristic of Landon, an icon of family-friendly
entertainment since the early days of Little House on the
Prairie and Bonanza. An angel on assignment from
God is disguised as "everyman" Jonathan Smith in order to
comfort--and sometimes miraculously guide--the lost and
suffering through various dilemmas. Smith and his earthly
cohort, ex-cop Mark Gordon (Victor French), journey across
country to work as horse trainers, bellhops,
baby-sitters--whatever the task requires. The collection
leads with the two-part pilot episode that establishes Smith
and Gordon's friendship. Other highlights of the collection
include the two-part "Thoroughbreds" with guest star Helen
Hunt as a woman who learns to risk love while battling
cancer; and "Help Wanted: Angel" where Gordon is cast in a
movie and falls in love with the leading lady. Especially
poignant is a bonus documentary, "Michael Landon: Memories
with Laughter and Love," a tribute to the prolific star
including film clips and reminiscences by family members.

love into the lives of those he touches. And when necessary,
he helps things along with a little angel power. Starring
