Many Good Moments Exist in Season 3, with many guest stars!
Highway to Heaven to me is comfort TV. I remember being in grade school when these episodes originally aired, looking forward to every Wednesday night. This series is perfect family programming and it aired at a time when NBC was certainly the place to be. Cosby, Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court was where it was at in the 80s. Come home again to Highway to Heaven and Come home to the good old NBC.Season Three of Highway to Heaven is filled with many guest stars including: James Earl Jones, Ned Beatty, Eddy Albert, Josh Brolin, James Earl Jones, Rosalind Cash, Brian Austin Green, Leslie Nielsen and most notably Dick Van Dyke.Dick Van Dyke plays a homeless man with a heart in "Wally."Jonathan and Mark tag along with an elderly street puppeteer who's also an angel - but doesn't know it. It is often considered one of the top ten best of the series and it is one of my favorites. The ending is moving, as Wally, gives of himself unselfishly and gives his life so others can live.James Earl Jones plays Gabe Wilson, an old friend of Mark's and down-and-out jazz pianist who tries to re-build his life after suffering a heart attack. It is interesting to see the conflict between mother and daughter brought together with helpp of Jonathan and Gabe.One of my favorite episodes featured Leslie Nielsen as a wealthy man out of touch with the world. Jonathan and Marc are his bodygaurds. He is murdered. He is then given a second chance to live the last few days over, he's still going to expire, but the boss gave him one last chance to make a diifference. This is Highway at it's finest.For the Love of Larry is a gem, a father and son are in an auto accident. Larry their dog finds a way to save their lives. Some would call it sappy,I remember tearing up at the surprise ending.There are a few episodes this season that are not my favorite to watch, but you get the good with the bad. I believe any episode of Highway is better than most of what today's programmers call TV today.Good clean fun. World class television. Twenty five Hour Long Episodes, it's a heavenly good deal!

Two Wonderful men who are now in Heaven themselves left us all a Beautiful Gift to treasure Always
Although my wife and I have not even finished Season 1 - I can certainly see why so many people around the world feel so strongly about this wonderful heartwarming show and it's stars Michael Landon and Victor French. Everything about the show and each episode's meaning and message to us all leaves one with a wonderful feeling that events in real life can't match. The on screen chemistry between Michael and Victor hits you like a thunderbolt from heaven and both their performances are just fantastic and always give the viewer much more that one could ever hope for. The writing, directing and music are absolutely first rate and always leave you excited about what the next episode will bring. We all know about Michael's wonderful work in his other shows but who could forget the very special "spark" that Victor French gave "Get Smart" with his zany and wonderful portrayal of Agent 44! Yes, he looked different over the years but that sensitive comic warmth of his character as well as his person - always seems to shine through.It was very sad to hear that both Michael and Victor died shortly after the completion of this wonderful show, both at the young age of 54, but I strongly feel it was Michael's and God's plan for all of us to put together this very meaningful and inspiring show for all of us to enjoy and help with our own lives forever and ever. THANK YOU Michael and Victor!

22 of the 25 episodes might be uncut
"Highway to Heaven" is my favorite television series from the 1980's.Michael Landon and Victor French had such magical on-screen chemistry together."Highway to Heaven" had such a huge amount of heartwarming, emotional and powerful episodes throughout its five season run on NBC.Television shows certainly aren't made quite like this anymore.Here are the run times of the three obvious syndicated episodes."Love and Marriage - Part 1" runs for 45:01, "Love and Marriage - Part 2" runs for 45:12 and "Parents' Day" runs for 44:17.Now to two episodes that might be uncut,"For the Love of Larry" runs for 47:19 and "Normal People" runs for 47:51.The other 20 episodes all run for 48 minutes and change.Very sadly, the old 2006 DVD release of Season Three by A&E only included syndicated episodes.Thanks to Mill Creek Entertainment for being the only DVD distributor to bring us any uncut episodes from Season Three.The third season of this brilliant, inspiring, inspirational and unique TV Series originally aired on NBC from September 24, 1986 to May 6, 1987.Notable guest stars from the third season of "Highway to Heaven" were Barbara Stuart, Bill Erwin, Brian Austin Green, Dick Van Dyke,Didi Conn, Eddie Albert, Eli Wallach, Ernest Borgnine, Ernie Reyes Jr., Eugene Roche, Jack Ging, James Earl Jones, James Troesh, Josh Brolin,Leslie Nielsen, Margie Impert, Martha Scott, Nana Visitor, Ned Beatty, Paul Walker, Richard Mulligan, Robert Culp, Roy Thinnes and Shannon Tweed.I'm rating this 5-disc set just three stars because of the dreadful packaging and the inclusion of the three obvious syndicated episodes.Disc #1 is stacked directly on top of Discs #2, #3, #4 and #5.I totally hate this type of packaging.

Highway to Heaven is just that
Waited a long time for Highway to Heaven to come out on DVD and we are not disappointed. Uplifting, entertaining, value for money. Michael Landon made a difference to the world. A sad loss indeed, but watching these DVDs reminds us all that we can be angels ourselves, and reach out to help others.
