Highway to Heaven

If you were a fan of the original Michael Landon series, you will enjoy this one. Jill Scott is the angel sent to earth to assist a young boy and his father. As typical with these movies, yes, the plot can be predictable but with a movie like this, we do not need mind shattering surprises or twists. I personally want a story I can understand and relate to and an ending that gives me hope and faith in God, people and the world in general. Jill Scott is extremely well suited to this role. She channels a feeling and aura that reminds me of Della Reece which is a huge compliment in a faith based movie.

My wife and I were big fans of the original series and have the entire series on DVD. So we were looking forward to this new version. It's wonderful! A great cast, especially Barry Watson. There were a few great surprises, especially at the very end. The lead character, Jill Scott brings just the right touch to her character referring at times to "my boss". Here sensitivity is just right as she deals with more than just one person needing "readjustment of attitudes". I think it was successful to the original idea because two of Michael Landon's sons were involved in the production. We've seen the program two times so far and are hoping this turns into a regular series. Though we won't see most of the characters in the future (except for the new assistant to the "angel"), we know and believe this show is a needed thing during the times in which we live.

I just don't like it (.) Because the old one was almost like thinking that there are Angels out there and it was the most beautiful feeling ever. So i guess I'm saying that this new one will never Measure up to the old one. Bye.

Dont waste your time. The original Highway to Heaven with Michael Landon was so good... such wonderful stories and acting. You CANNOT remake that. This one had a horrible storyline and bad acting. You cant remake the good stuff from the 80s, so why do they even try? If you want to watch Highway to Heaven, go was the ORIGINAL. This show is a slap in the face to Michael Landon.

We need something like this... After touched by an angel and the original highway to heaven... I hope they make this is serious this was really great and Jill Scott was wonderful as the angel Angela.
