[@ishtiaqali2373]

Than you Michael London for such a wonderful series RIP pal ۔

[@garrettjackson2342]

I remember watching this episode as a kid & it stood out so much that I remembered it over 30 years later! Rip Michael!!!

This episode aired October 28, 1987. Excellent Halloween gift to the viewing audience. 😎

Same here buddy. Landon was an inspiration

[@jessiesungmanitou9369]

AWOOO!!! By far one of the best episodes! Watching this just a couple of days away from Halloween made my day/night! RIP Micheal; you were one of the greatest. As were you, Victor.

[@cathyt144]

His bday was Oct 31st and his first film was I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF. This info makes this segment even funnier to me. Landon was a funny dude.

Love this! Seeing Michael reprise the werewolf is awesome

[@cathyt144]

Landons humor is great. He was in a movie in his younger days called " I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF" it was actually his debut that srarted his acting career.His birthday was Oct 31. No wonder he enjoyed Halloween. Lol

6:45 Mark is watching 'I am a Teenage Werewolf' which stars non other than Micheal Landon! That's why Mark says Johnan reminds him of the main character in the film.

[@ayannatraylor6248]

Marc Zero Oh WOW didn't know that lol😂

[@macondiana]

That's right, it was his first movie role in 1957

[@ChrisC11291980]

When I was a kid, somebody told me that Michael Landon wanted to burn all the copies of that movie. Based on the fact that he wrote and directed this episode, I don't think he felt quite as strongly as that person thought.

[@Ovalbugmann]

Cool! yes! I thought the werewolf movie Mark was watching featured a very young Michael Landon!!

[@janetthomson4958]

Marc Zero It's Michael not Micheal

[@BlackangelKatakuri]

I like to imagine that the series finale would have been about Johnathan being finished with his assignment and getting promoted thus having to go to heaven and Mark dying then being made a probationary angel himself. The final scene would be of Johnathan smiling at Mark and saying don't worry I'll always be with you you may not always be able to see me but you'll be able to hear my voice directing you and guiding you. If you ever get lonely I'll come back down and be with you my friend .

[@GhostbustersFan77]

I had a similar idea. Mark dies from an illness we the audience are not told (French Passed away from Lung Cancer for anyone who doesn't know). Johnathan is walking on the side of the road and Mark's car pulls up. Of course it's Mark with a different face. An angel in training who explains to Johnathan that the Boss didn't want to break up the team.

[@Panwere36]

So hilarious an episode... especially cashing in on the role that got Michael Landon noticed by some.

[@cathyt144]

I cracked up laughing too. It was quite funny.

[@ThMindFdr]

Very good episode, ending was great🤣

[@jokerinthebronx]

I always wondered if the last scene was another dream, or Jonathan just using "the stuff" to mess with Mark. My favorite HTH episode. Netflix has the whole series now! Was binge watching over the weekend. I always dreamed of a series finale where Mark dies and Jonathan spreads wings and flies them both to Heaven. That would have been epic. They co-directed as well. RIP Victor and Michael. Class acts. My other fave is the one where Mark accidentally sells his soul to Satan. LOL! He was always getting himself into something.

[@jimk.7663]

Sadly during the 5 season, they made only 9 episodes, 13 all together. The last 4 episode were edited from other seasons with Victor French as Mark. Victor died from lung cancer, if you seen the 9th episode you'll notice Victor was much thinner. Victor died on June 15, 1989. Michael Landon died 2 years later from progressive pancreatic cancer which he learned only three months before he passed away. RIP to both great actors.

[@walterschivo9123]

@@jimk.7663 I never knew that, and I guess that's why the show came to an end as I don't think Michael wanted to do another episode without Victor nor accept the idea to have a new character with him. THat's true friendship right there. Such a shame cancer took them both away.

[@GESSO217]

I always envisioned Mark dying, a funeral attended by a grieving Johnathan, then cut to Johnathan walking alone on a highway when a familiar car pulls up. Turns out the Boss didn't want to break up the team.

[@axiomist4488]

Ha, ha, ha ! The ending was funny when he looked at the camera and said "Happy Halloween".

[@walterschivo9123]

Too bad he couldn't have played THriller from Michael Jackson. That would've been funny.

I'd say Michael Landon had great fun reprising a role he played in his early acting career! I'm not an actress, well, if you count acting the maggot, then I suppose I am, I don't work in the movie industry. In saying all that, that episode looks like it was fun to shoot!

Jonathan said same place you got yours. Mark said why would he give us an assignment like this one. Jonathan said because you asked him for it. Mark says I did not ask him for it.

It looks like they are using the version they used for the Dove Channel back in the day. My mom use to watch Highway to Heaven on it and she let me know when this episode came on since it was always my favorite growing up. That's why the also censored the word Hell in it too.

[@jackiebrown6845]

@@haggardwashere262 I know the part you're talking about - in the edited version, Allen said "I just wish I could get her back just once.", then, as he has that light bulb expression on his face, he says "Hey!" and then Jonathan, knowing what he has in mind, said, "Oh no! No, no, Allen, uh-uh!" That was when it cut right to them doing it anyway, cutting the part where Allen pleads with Jonathan to do the werewolf bit and then Jonathan concedes.

[@cathyt144]

A bit of History on Landon. He was born on Oct 31st, birth name Eugene Maurice Orowitz. He got the nickname OOGY in high school an became a javelin thrower. Won a scholarship to USC His first film I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF . He was also in the films GODS LITTLE ACRE, THE LEGEND OF TOM DOOLEY, TELEPHONE TIME, HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL,AND SAMS SON. Then of course ,Bonanza,Little House and Highway to Heaven. Theres a film called THE LONELIEST RUNNER based on his childhood experiences as a bedwetter who became a runner because of it and his mothers abuse. Landons son,Michael has a movie on youtube about his life with Landon as his dad. A&E has a 3 part documentary about Landon all his followers and fans should see. I think Landon had to have a great sense of humor,esp going thru high school as OOGY OROWITZ . He wasnt perfect and made mistakes like the rest of us,but he had a beautiful soul and a giving heart. RIP Michael Landon( Eugene Orowitz)
