Highway to heaven

[tammy]

Does anyone remember Highway to Heaven? It was one of my favourite programmes as a child. It was about an angel who went around saving people from there moral dilemas... He had a friend who went round each week with him and he was the only person who knew he was an angel. The theme tune had me in tears almost every week....i even went as far as to record the theme tune from the tv onto my tape recorder..(remember them? Great big blocks of plastic with clunky buttons). I think it stared Micheal Landon...might not have the name right....but it was superb

I remember that Tammy! My Nan used to love it, therefore it used to annoy us kids to bits. She would get all tearful into her lavender hanky over it. Bless!

I didn't actually like this show...but when Michael Landon died in real life, I thought geez and he was even in a show about heaven. awwww

I loved this show too Tammy, great stories in them. Pity they're never repeated, I'd love to see them all again. I remember Helen Hunt was in one. She had leukaemia, think she rode horses too. It ended well as far as I remember.

Re: Highway to heaven

yup! highway to heaven, it was written and directed by Michael Landon & also starred him as angel Jonathon Smith! It also starred his real life friend Victor French as Mark Gordon an ex cop from Oakland who joined Jonathon in helping people, after he had lost faith in humanity (because of seeing so much **** as a cop!) It ran for 5 years, had 111 episodes as someone here already mentioned & was jokingly nicknamed Jesus of malibu!

The best tv show ever created in my opinion! i love watching it!
