Highway to Heaven - Season Two (1984) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Highway to Heaven is one of my favorite dramatic series so I looked forward to its release into the DVD realm. Unfortunately, we now have two DVD seasons of this Michael Landon classic that features the edited episodes shown in syndication. Approximately 2-3 minutes are cut from each of these episodes.
I am fortunate to have eight of these installments recorded on VHS from the show's original network run on NBC. I know these episodes very well and it bothers me that they are not complete! The episode "Birds of a Feather" (my favorite) features a dramatic scene in which Jonathan makes the ultimate sacrifice to call attention to toxic waste dumping. Don't look for that scene here though. It's not on the DVD version of this episode.
This collection also features digital break-up on part two of "The Monster". Also, the video and audio are not in-sync! The actors speak and the voice comes in a second or two later! It is very distracting to watch.
I did enjoy the audio commentary on "The Torch" by Mrs. Landon and Highway to Heaven producer Mr. Kent McCray. I had hoped for other "extras" but unfortunately they followed in the path of all the scenes cut for syndicated purposes.
Highway to Heaven is one of the best family dramas ever produced. It should be seen and preserved on DVD in its original NBC format.
Let's hope that on the third try this series is featured in a COMPLETE set! Only then will the angels rejoice...
