Michael Landon A&E Biography - Final Part 

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

Disney should take note of what families really want in tv

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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

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

He was a wonderful man there should be a lot more like him he’ll never be forgotten

What a great man. I will forever cherish his work, especially Little House on the Prairie.

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

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"

I cried watching this he was a wonderful man that loved his family

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. 🙏😥

Truly touched so many lives. Including mine. RIP Michael

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’ll never forget him. He was one of my favorites. RIP Mr. Landon. So handsome. 🙏🏻❣️

They don't make tv shows like michael Landon incredible body of work anymore. Family shows you can watch with your kids.

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 wish we still had actors with his grace. I’ll be excited to meet him in heaven! Rest In Peace!

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.

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

What a great actor, may he rest in peace.

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...

Really loved Michael landen great example to everyone and talented 👍🤗❤️

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 ❤🌈✝️

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 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.

“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.

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

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.

Great guy!!!! Still watch his shows !!Highway to Heaven and Little house on the prairie!!!!God Bless him always!!!😥🙏❤

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

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.

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

What a gentle soul and class act. Hope to see him in heaven some day

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!

He was the television 📺 dad we all wanted to have , and when we grew up he was the television 📺 husband we all wanted ❤️

I will always love Michael Landon

What a great man, I've watched him since I was a kid ,Bonanza, LHOP, HTH...R.I.P..Michael..!

Michael Landon meant alot to me growing up!!!! I still watch him today. Wonderful family man!!!!

Thank you Michael for all that you did for us..

There will never be another Michael for sure! Glad to be alive to enjoy any moments he shared to us!

Micheal was a great person loved him

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!

Beautiful man!! I still watch his shows Highway to Heaven and Little House on the Prairie❤️❤️God Bless Michael Landon Always😢🙏❤️

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!💖💖💖

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 is a man with a heart of gold who deeply touched so many lives. Thank you for touching our souls.

Landon was always the man! Loved watching him in Little house and of course my favorite Highway to heaven. Love you michael!!

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.

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.

He died at 54, and yet lived enough lives for 3 people!! RIP, dear Pa.

He was a talented actor! Highly successful. Died too soon.. RIP! Blessings and prayers to his family.

Loved Micheal Landon . He was so great as pa in Little House. Rip

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.

Michael Landon was and will always be my FAVORITE actor RIP 😋

He was good to so many,I watched all his movies,he was loved in our family.

I remember his laugh from Bonanza, unforgetable. 🥰

Yes Mike you made a huge difference!!!

My favorite was “Little House On The Prairie”. It was like Michael Landon himself. Honorable, true, and poignant.

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.

R.I.P. Michael Landon I watched all the show he played and produced. He was a great guy. 🙏😇🙌💯😞

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.

3 simple words... I Love Michael 🙏

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!

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

Very sad, I will always miss him!😭

Loved him!!!!so humble and kind!!!😇😇😇❤❤❤❤❤❤

Loved him all these years...Wonderful Actor and had a heart of gold....

Smile, which makes you look younger, laugh, which makes everybody else laugh and be kind, which hopefully will rub off to everybody else! Kindness!

⭐Excellent.. Brilliant.. Magnific.. Man.. 💚R. I. P 💚Michael ❤️

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!

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 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!!

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. 😑💕

A genius in TV. Little House my favorite.

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. 🙏

I grew up with Micheal even here in the uk 🇬🇧 he was well loved in our house

Michael had fathered so many beautiful children and was so affectionate with all of them and even made time for others with debilitating and long term illnesses to cheer them up. He was truly an Angel on earth. RIP

Era una persona meravigliosa,un attore bravissimo che purtroppo se ne andato troppo presto, riposa in pace caro Michael ❤️❤️

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

Really lk Michael rip its ashame he didnt lv till he was old really gd actor and enjoyed about his programme he did

Michael is missed so much 😢lovely to watch Little house on the praise. I watched it when I was young and every episode brought a tear to my eye. Superb actor and you can see how genuine at every performance ❤❤

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.

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

Michael Landon and Patrick Swayze two beautiful men passed from the same thing

So sad. Imagine what the TV world would be like today had he have lived longer.

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.

Something brought Michael Landon to mind today. I really can't say what, but I found myself checking my phone for a clip of Michael's last appearance on the "Tonight "Show, when he was honest, gentle and truthful about his diagnosis. I recalled that I had seen the original airing all those years ago, and both times I cried my eyes out, absolutely heartbroken. Amazingly, he succeeded in causing me to laugh out loud several times, making me respect his strength of character even more. "Bonanza", was a bit early for me, but "Little House On The Prairie" debuted at just the right time for a young girl like me!!! I received the paperback book set as a birthday gift, and I was "over the moon" with joy. My parents and I read them at the same time, and simultaneously fell in love with the memoirs of this spunky little pig-tailed girl and her family and friends. The show premered and we watched it together, once a week, laughing at Nellie and crying over Mary. Everyone seems to have a favorite episode or two, I couldn't begin to name mine. lol Michael embodied "Pa", quick to laugh or to cry, just like my beloved father. "Highway To Heaven" had magically- uplifting stories, and I just know I would have adored, "Us", the series he had created before his passing. There's just one other example of Michael's glorious talent, A TV movie named, "The Loneliest Runner", based on his relationship with his, at times, extremely cruel mother. I've never forgotten it because it left such a deep impression on my soul. Please do your best to locate. It online. You won't regret it, I promise you. Wow. I've been carrying that deep love and respect for sweet Michael Landon, for a great. many years. I thank you with all my heart for allowing me to bring those precious memories to the surface. Please take very good care of yourselves and stay safe. I send a giant hug to each and every one of you beautiful people. Thank you for everything, Michael ❤️. Joy. ❤️

I still watch little House on the Paire. RIP Michael Landon. Such a great actor. God bless.

Poor guy. He only made shows that were honest, wholesome, & nice. So unfair how God took him from us. Such a nice person. RIP

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. 💫❤️

I miss those days, better people in business and Hollywood. People cared. There has always been problems, but life was more real. RIP ML…and he was extremely good looking…with a personality to boot.

I continually watch Little House. Highway to heaven and bonanza. I loved Michael landon and Victor French combination.

He would of been 86 today,Halloween 2021. Rest in Peace with the Angels
