Editorial Review:
Jonathan Smith isn't your average helpful handyman. He's an angel with a mission from God, or "the Boss" as he likes to call him. Accompanied by ex-cop Mark Gordon, whose troubled life Jonathan once helped turn around, he travels the world, guiding the lost and suffering back toward the HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN. Whether helping a young boxer pressured to throw a fight or a veteran's Eurasian daughter feel welcome in America, Jonathan finds a way to bring a little grace and love into the lives of those he touches. And when necessary, he helps things along with a little angel power. Starring Michael Landon and Victor French, all 24 uplifting episodes from the first season of this family favorite are now available on DVD for the first time. DVD Features: Feature-Length Documentary "Michael Landon: Memories with Laughter and Love"; Rare Outtakes;Text Biographies of Michael Landon and Victor French; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection
Description of Highway to Heaven - Season One:
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.

Highway to Heaven - Season One Reviews:
Must have Especially if you have kids!! 
2009-11-06 - Put this series on and you will see just how much tv has has gone downhill in the past 20 yrs!! This series could never make it on the air these days because it is just too decent and contains the message of love of others instead of the consumption with one's self. If you have kids this is a must have series to let them get a glimpse into what decency among mankind is about.
Great! 
2009-10-19 - I've been a fan of this series ever since I first saw it. The quality of
the production on this package was great! A purchase I will never regret!
Highway to Heaven (Season One)
2009-05-03 - "Highway to Heaven" is one of the greatest, dramatic shows to ever hit the television screen. It has all the key ingredients for a successful dramatic tv series:powerful drama, adventure, comedy, mystery. The scripts were well-written and storylines touching. With Michael Landon at the helm (supported by veteran great Victor French), there was no way this show could lose. With the addition of various locations, big name stars and well-known character actors, this made the series all that more interesting & appealing. It was a success in the ratings and with the critics. There is something for everyone and stories that people can relate with. "Highway to Heaven" is.....Heavenly!
