Michael Landon Junior has now been married for 36 years. What a beautiful story. Thank you for uuploading.

This is one of the best TV movies I ever saw. Michael Landon Jr showed us the real Michael Landon that very few people knew or ever saw and because of that, it makes him more human and more of a man than he was on television. Thank you Michael Landon Jr for making this movie and telling your story.

The only person that Michael Landon cheated was on him self. But, to be diagnosed with such a deadly form of Cancer at 54 has to be devastating. I'm the same age as Melissa Gilbert and grew up watching Little House. Michael Landon was one of the Best story writers and producers ever in television history. R.I.P. Mr. Landon and may God Bless you for bringing Little House on the Prairie as a TV series that will be enjoyed by generation after generation.

My heart goes out to Michael Landon Jr.

Mike Landon Jr. learned to be a good father from his experience with his father. God bless his family.

I had never seen this movie. Outstanding by entire cast! The young man who played Michael Landon Jr. was superb! Beautiful movie with sweet ending!

This is true... fathers who leave, have no idea the pain and hurt they leave behind, with their kids having a thousand questions, and no answers...and how to deal with an upside down survival. If my kids n I didnt have our Heavenly Father to lean on, for literally everything, we'd be a mess. But we arent. Because of His comfort and grace and healing.

But why do some women want to have relationship with married men? Even Lynn Landon had started the relationship with Landon when Landon still married with his first wife. So it just history repeating itself. So for Lynn, it's only a karma. She sacrificed Landon children from his first wife, and then the third wife sacrificed the children from the second wife (Lynn)

ladies, there is a lesson here .....mom tries to reconcile in her mind ...her marriage ....her quote "he pursued me " ........ IF HE cheated on the woman to be with you ...... DO NOT be shocked when he cheats on you

Well.. If the shoe fit. 🙄 I didn't ask to be born did you? Also who created. Man in the first place then Adam was too much of a boo boo I need somebody then God made Woman Eve, then had to get some excitement now. Let's put the the "Tree of Knowledge" that is forbidden to eat from then add the snake which is really Satan in disguise but has the seducing voice to get Eve to dive all into that tree. Then tells Adam. Now Adam knew remember that. Don't continue to condemn "Eve". That's right! So that's the story on why we suffer today because of "The Fall of Man". So, if God just left it with the animals then we wouldn't ever have these great stories to tell even within our own lives of suffering, sinning, redemption finding Christ, never leaving Christ just swayed a little and those that stayed on the narrow path and never swayed. That would be Jesus I would think. I'd like to know a human being that neveg sinned. Know any? 🤔 🧐

I had no idea of his life I just remember him in Bonanza. My Dad walked out because of my abusive Mother. Then my brother and I took our pjs to school, was my birthday we had had enough of her, we went to live at Grans where Dad was. My Mother used to say poisonous things about Dad, I have never been able to deal with my Mother and sounds terrible but she died and I’m glad that I never have to see her again. I struggle to forgive her and I’m in my 70s, the damage done by her to my life stills sometimes haunts me. I say to God help me to forgive her still hard.

Great lesson and reminder about forgiveness. I grew up with Little House on the Prairie. Michael Landon really wasn't acting when he was playing a father. It's my understanding that he was just as much a father figure to the kids on the set. He wasn't acting. It was his natural state. Unfortunately, he had his transgressions like all of us. I'm pleased that Michael Landon Jr. was able to forgive his father before he passed. Thank you for the reminder about forgiveness , Michael Landon Jr. Sometimes we need it.

If the adulterer is a very popular public person as in Bill Clinton for Democrats, Michael Landon of Little House fame or Charles AND Diana for RF fans, then all kinds of excuses are made for their behavior and lack of remorse for it. God’s laws are the same for us all.

This movie really brought out the reality of the damages the sins of a father/mother can make. ADULTRY, people do it and I never saw any good results come out of it. "I fell in love" they say. Love does not break up a happy home but fleshly, lustful desires of the flesh does and no one comes out winning from the sins of the father/mother.

I'm sorry, but I honestly believe acting is a cush way to make a living. It does not take a great aptitude, a great deal of stamina, hardworking or perseverance. Much of it is good fortune - being in the right place, at the right time. Even Michael Landon said if it wasn't for his good fortune he might still be a blue collar laborer.

John Schneider was wonderful as Michael Landon here. Great story of how to get through abandonment issues too. They'll eat you up if you dont learn to fix that.

What goes around comes around... their mom took someone's husband!!now she lose him the same way she got him..😢

Parents come with emotional baggage. One of the hardest lessons children learn while experiencing growing pains, is that all human beings are flawed; including parents.

I remember when Michael Landon died. I thought well he was old anyways. With the 50th anniversary of LHotP being this year, I started looking facts up. I was shocked to see Michael Landon was only 54 years old when he died. I’m 55 now. My uncle died of pancreatic cancer last year. How awful it is to know Michael Landon suffered the same illness at such a young age.

The LORD promises to be a Father to the fatherless and a mother to the motherless. Call unto him and He will answer you.

There's what we do and there is who we are. "Be concerned about YOUR OWN salvation - the Bible reads - occupy yourself with it with fear and trembling." This movie touches my heart personally in various ways. I watched Michael's movies religiously as a child and a young person. I would like to say that I have been with more than one dying person, to understand that they have understood that love is more than words. You can't explain to people how much you love them, you can only wait for time to reveal this truth to them! With all due respect, don't allow religion to make you think that you are better because of what you've done or haven't. Pray that you may recognize love - wherever it is - and help those who need to be helped in whatever way you may. Great achievement! A real blessing to have seen the depths of Michael 's heart! Heaven awaits!!

Excellent movie. Michael Landon was one of my favorite actors. Our experiences throughout childhood impact our entire lives and the lives of those we interact with. It's so sad, but part of the human condition, that there isn't more compassion and empathy along the way, especially on the part of parents for their children.

Children love both of their parents and separations and divorces always damage them. Why can’t parents at least wait until the children are grown? While it might still hurt, I believe that it would lessen their children’s pain. Having an affair only shows selfishness on the parent’s part. Then the desertion part comes into play. Sometimes when parents get divorced, they also divorce their children too. Now that really hurts! The real question becomes, when and if the cheating spouse decides to marry the other cheater, will they ever trust each other? It’s called the broken-trust factor!

@maricamaas2326

It also blows my mind how somehow cheaters are deceived into believing that they will be happy together; this while they had and will be causing such tremendous misery to many others. This can be explained spiritually in terms of being given over by God, to destructive thoughts and behaviour; this after not being thankful, and not glorifying, honoring and living in fear of Him, as Creator.

A wannabe director who apparently couldn't find anything else to write about and direct to kick off his own career!! I will always have respect for what Michael Landon accomplished in his short life, especially after his childhood.

Adultery is more of a wound to the one who commits it, than to the one who suffers it. Michael carried that wound, a wound unknown to the third person in this triangle. Divorce is peace when there is no love anymore, no understanding, no hope. That children understand this will help greatly to their further lives!

This film was really well done. John Schneider played the part of Michael Landon well. As a fan of Michael Landon since my youth, this was hard to watch. I understand well what childhood trauma can do. The crippling effect it has on the mind and heart. I'm happy his son overcame his hurt and trauma. Being a bit older when his dad left may have helped. However, his father was so young. It seems he spent his entire childhood feeling unloved, with many hurtful memories of being shamed and told hurtful things by his mother. Not just unloved, but feeling hated by your parent. How does one cope with and heal from that? He seemed to fill the tremendous void through the admiration of his fans, and women. How sad for his children. Though he did love them, he wasn't whole enough to put them first.

As Michael said it, his problems were around money and his wife. Had his children not been first, he wouldn't have consecrated so much time and energy to be with them, laugh, share and enjoy with them. As I understand it, as they grew older, they decided - not Michael - to draw apart from him, if not only M. Jr.

27:29 Reminds me of how I felt at 50 . I still felt like a caring person but was getting hard to show it. I think its called depression.

I watched with an open mind, and I can see why we have so many broken marriages and broken children, and that's why we have so many young people in trouble, when there is trust broken it can't be mended that easily 💔 even in little children, yes when I was a young child I liked Micheal Landon now all I see is trouble makers for the children and young people they think all they think about is Me myself and I selfishness never thinking of those that love them, This is the devils device.

It is sad that someone who was such a wholesome figure in our lives was so troubled. I guess it shows that in all of us there is the good and the bad. Often those who portray to the public a certain image or lifestyle just can’t live it themselves. I grew up watching little Joe on Bonanza and then Little House on the Prairie. I had no idea the pain that was in the background. I’m so sorry for his family. And I’m also so sorry that the world lost this great talent before what should have been his time. I know what it feels like to share someone with the world. It is very difficult.

We are are all broken in some way, but even broken crayons still colour. As we work through our lessons of life we learn from each other. Through pain we grow, we gain inner strength.

I loved Michael Landon as a kid but watching this movie made me realize how selfish the man was. He cared for no one's comfort & happiness except for his own. What an awful father & husband he was! He was also arrogant and full of himself!

Ladies, God will never send you someone else's husband

ANY man that disrespects (yes, cheating is disrespecting her) the mother of his children is a complete horrible father.

Michael Landon Jr. Your story is filled with redemption. May God’s healing touch be upon your life. -And upon all the children Fathered by an unusual man.

I've always loved Michael Landon ❤️!!!

I be always been a fan of Michael Landon. LHOP is my favorite show as I grew up on re runs. It's too bad that his life was dysfunctional off screen and that obviously traced back to his childhood. As someone who has been in counseling for a few years now, I ve learned a few things. Whatever dysfunction/ past pains you don't deal with will eventually manifest in your behaviors/ emotions etc. Dysfunction just repeats generation after generation until someone decides to break the cycle and deal. Michael Landon obviously had a scrappy childhood and that affected him as an adult and as a result affected his famiky. That s how the cycle goes. It s not an excuse for poor behavior, but it s important to look at the heart behind the behaviors and realize that person is probably wounded at their core and needs help.

A very good movie. Meaningful exploring the depth of human behaviour. My opinion however is that a family man must be loyal and committed to his family. Having just an affair is bad enough. But commitment to spouse and kids is the most important. Deeply moving. Thank you for this movie.

@@tshuvafertileground "if it's God's will for either spouse to be faithful and true". 🤨🤨. God has already expressed His views about loyalty. 1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. Malachi 2:16 “For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that He hateth putting away; for one covereth violence with his garment,” saith the Lord of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.” Exodus 20:14 “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” "God's will" does not change based on how weak one's self control and loyalty is.

I think this a a good movie...shows our Michael Landon's other human side...the critics has it wrong. Michael jnr. Is said to have distroyed his Father's memory; thats not true. We just got to see him as a human person who is not just a Mivie Star. ⭐. One must also remember that his own childhood is a part of what made him who he became as an adult. He was a really good person, man and Father...i saw all that in this movie . A man who had guilts that tortured him, led him to smoke constantly and drank as well . That though is missing from the movie...things like that also led to cancer ..he was privately very tortured about hurting thise he loved so much. ❤😢🎉❤❤❤ I think in some years to come, people are going to see this movie from another perspective...it is also a healing for Michael jnr. and we love Michael London no less. I wish the very best for his children in their continued healing...his eldest son and daughter really hurt the most...Rest in Peace dear Michael Landon...we will always always love you❤❤❤❤❤😢❤❤❤❤❤

if a man pursues a woman outside of his wife and marries her then the woman needs to realise that he will do it to her ... if he doesn't that gives cause to publish the successful marriage on front page news!!! Soon as a man tells you he is married or separated then wisdom dictates that the woman should run (vice versa too).

Yes, indeed... God hates divorce for good reason: It destroys marriage partners, their children and society - on so many levels. As it is written in Ecclesiastes 7:26... Entering into an adulterous relationship certainly does not bring happiness, but is worse than death.

What a great movie! Glad to see the son ultimately forgave and I hope he continues to be a better dad. I wonder how the rest of the family is doing. If only we could see the consequences of our decisions at the time of making them, we would probably make other choices. When all is said and done, life has choices and everyone makes their own. Any day is a new day to make a different choice.

It is very much a matter of strength rather than choices. In order not to drown you must either not be there or swim good enough and be strong enough. Michael had wounds of his own and his family - with due respect - could not listen. He says it at least twice in the movie. He tried to transmit positivity through T. V. and continued to believe in good, in spite of his own struggles. How can anyone help others who depend on them to be happy, when they - those others - are hurting that someone? In my eyes, Michael had no choice but to divorce.

Jesus is not G-d. That is idolatry. Jesus would not recognise the Roman religion built in his name. If you are inspired by jesus' words from Torah, oral and written, then that is from our Father, who he said to pray to for all life experiences, including refuah shlema (healing from heaven). Like Michael jnr depicts his Dad saying in this film, G-d is everywhere. Michael senior's Mom was cruel and his Dad absent or they were often arguing, or neighbors ostracising his family for being Jewish, looking for his satan horns!🤪 He realised that we see Hashem in a smile, in a loving act, in nature etc. We need to be like Abraham and turn from idol worshipping, be silent and listen to His still, quiet voice and accept His answers to our tears and successes. No man, including jesus can change us,only our submission to our Father creator's presence inside all of us,if only we acknowledge Him. That is how Jews have survived millenia of persecution including from the christian bigotry using the writings the Roman empire put together to salvage its control over Europe, and Middle east. As jesus is quoted saying, do not let religious people burden us with religious doctrine. He criticised dogma and controlling behavior of his reliigious leaders, not Torah observance. Paul made a different religion which is still used to judge others who do not agree or condemn them to hell.

John Schneider. He has a page here on KZread.

I had watched over half of this movie before I realize that it was the Michael Landon story.. I couldn’t believe John Snyder played him in this movie. It was a really good movie….

I remember the day he passed I volunteered for the National Park Service and we rode our horses in the park next to his house to make sure nobody bothered the family. Yep he was just a man.

Very insightful, moving and honest. May\be other facts or details might be missing but the heart of his story is impactful. Strong actors.

People, stop yelling at someone when they have an accident, JESUS! Thank GOD they are alright.

The best part was when Michael Landon's son sought help and found God, then after that, he could forgive his dad. Michael always loved his son and that was a plus. When fathers go away, leaving behind kids with no regard whatsoever for them, it can get very tough for the forgotten children to go on with their lives, but somehow, if they seek God, they can always pull through... praise the Lord!

Beautifully written. Beautiful story of love and redemption. Michael Landon Junior wrote a powerful tribute about his life with his father. A father that the world saw as a TV Star but he was a mortal man and a wonderful father to his children. Thank you for this inspiring autobiography. Laura Ingalls herself had a miserable childhood. Everyone thinks that she lived the life that we see on The Little House On The Prairie. Not true. Both of these stories live in a parallel universe.
