If you remember watching Highway To Heaven when it originally aired, odds are you’re probably dead. Simply put, this show was for old people who couldn't stand the excitement of Remington Steele so close to bedtime. A fallen angel, Jonathan Smith (Michael Landon), and his non-angel/partially-shaved Sasquatch sidekick, Mark Gordon (Victor French), roam the country (but mostly southern California) weeping at people and sharing hotel rooms (which there is absolutely NOTHING gay about). So, with a little sprinkle of magic*, a lot of lengthy exterior shots bothering to show us what mode of transport our characters arrived in, and a river of tears, you will definitely walk away changed forever. In other words: You WILL Believe A Man Can Cry.
For one low-ish price, Drawback Productions tackles FOUR back-to-back episodes of this nursing home favorite, including “A Special Love Part 1”, “A Special Love Part 2”, “For The Love Of Larry” and “Another Kind Of War, Another Kind Of Peace”. All episodes appear on Disc 1 of the Season 3 Box Set or on Youtube (see links below).
ALSO, you get a free bonus riff on the Twilight Zone ripoff "One Step Beyond" for the episode titled "Epilogue". It's the whole episode, and not just the epilogue, so don't panic. You will need disc 1 of Season 1 or you can see it on Hulu (again, see link below). This bonus comes to you AT NO EXTRA CHARGE!
*I mean very little. If the magic in this show were cheese on a pizza, it would be safe for the lactose intolerant.
Netflix no longer has the discs for this show. (It was taken down while I was working on the project.) Add it to the saved section of your Netflix queue here: http://movies.netflix.com/Movie/Highway_to_Heaven/70157402?trkid=2361637 (If enough people add it, the discs will go back into rotation.)
Here are the links to the youtube versions if you can't get the discs:

For the Love of Larry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS2bgUkpM7E
Another Kind Of War, Another Kind Of Peace: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsSsnoh4Agg
For those of you that want to enjoy the bonus but don't feel like getting the disc, it is available on HULU.

Some notes about the Hulu version:
The first 30-or-so seconds don't sync up with the disc version. Once John Newland is done addressing the camera, the One Step Beyond title will appear. Start the riff when my wife says "Beyond Step One". The first sync line will arrive shortly after that.
Also, be prepared to stop on the commercial breaks.
Please to enjoy.
