    Here in Europe they released Season 1-7 of Bonanza on DVD



    I'm green with envy. Here in Region 1 all they've released are a few episodes here and there. No complete seasons so far. This in the country that originated the show.

    Don't forget Stumpy, Mike Landon also created, produced and starred in Highway To Heaven. Thought that was a pretty good show in itself. He also wrote and directed the tv movie, The Lonliest Runner, starring Lance Kerwin who played a teenager who was a bedwetter and whose mother constantly embarrassed him by hanging his bedsheets outisde his bedroom window. It was supposed to be based loosely on Landons life.



    I was familiar with "Highway to Heaven", Jim, and even watched it a few times during its' run. But for some reason, I just couldn't get into that Mike Landon show.

    Like another of my favorites (Steve McQueen), I think Mike died way too young.

    I've been watching the series "Little House on the Prairie" starring Mike Landon, who also had a very prominent role in "Bonanza" as Little Joe.

    A few days ago there was an episode of "Little House" entitled "The Legacy", which portrays Mike worrying about his legacy. All the time I'm watching this episode, I'm thinking to myself "Mike, you left us one heck of a legacy in the form of outstanding television". (Not only did he star in "Little House" as Charles Ingalls, he was also executive producer, writer and director of many of the episodes.)

    Who was your favorite character, Keith?

    I'm torn between Hoss and Little Joe. Guess I'll go with Hoss but LJ is close behind. :teeth_smile:

    I was also a big fan of Michael Landon's "Little House on the Prairie".
