1.1/2 "Highway to Heaven: Part 1 and 2" Quiz

Answer: Michael Landon

Michael also wrote, directed, and produced for this series as well. He and actor Victor French reunited from their days on "Little House on the Prairie" to star in this series about an angel. Michael passed away in 1991 from pancreatic cancer. He was 54 years old.

Answer: Havencrest

The home's staff was not very concerned about the mental well being of its residents, except for Leslie Gordon, whom Jonathan befriended right away. She even led him to getting an apartment right across from hers, which was walking distance from work. Mary McCusker played Leslie.

Shady Pines was a nursing home on "The Golden Girls", The Sunshine Home was from "All in the Family", and Arkham Asylum is from the "Batman" stories by DC Comics. Arkham is also a fictional town in Massachusetts, found in stories by H.P. Lovecraft, F. Paul Wilson, Robert M. Price, and Robert Bloch.

Answer: Law enforcement

Mark was an Oakland cop for fifteen years before being suspended for excessive use of force. He'd been living with Leslie for five years, and she'd basically put her life on hold worrying about him. Mark was highly suspicious of Jonathan, and even searched through his apartment. Victor passed away in 1989, at the age of 54, after a battle with lung cancer.

Answer: Estelle Wicks

Estelle initially refused to socialize with the other residents, despite being wooed by a man named Sidney Gould. Jonathan finally found a way to get her out and about, by asking her to care for his puppy. Helen Hayes played Estelle Wicks. John Bleifer played the persistent Sidney. He also appeared on "Little House on the Prairie", "Marcus Welby, M.D.", and "Ben Casey".

Madelon Claudet was the first sound (non-silent) movie role for Hayes, for which she won an Oscar for Best Actress.

Answer: $116,000

When Jonathan went to the man to appeal to his kinder heart, the man claimed to have once cared about more than money, but now business was all that mattered. Jonathan called the man by the old high school nickname of 'Cubby', which had been given to him by his girlfriend Allison. That softened him up enough to give Jonathan a day to come up with the asking price, and he'd sell it to him instead. Jonathan, Mark, and Leslie proposed the idea to the residents.

Answer: Betting on a horse race

It was Mark's idea, because Jonathan admitted he could call the winner before the race began. Jonathan was extremely reluctant to gamble, but agreed to do it for altruistic reasons. They placed a bet on the number five horse, whose odds were 30-1. The horse, Devil's Land, came in second. Fortunately (or maybe a higher power intervened), Sidney's ticket read out that the bet had been placed on the winner, number seven's Cindy Kim.

They were able to buy the nursing home. Either Michael Landon was deliberately trying to give the horses sweet names (one was named Betsy), or he had no real knowledge of what race horse names were like.

The race took place at the Santa Anita track in Arcadia, California.

Answer: False

After Mark told her Jonathan had left, she ran from the party at the nursing home to try and stop him. When she knocked on his door, she found another very attractive man was living there already. He identified himself as Gary Johnson, and the two seemed to share an instant connection. Stephen Yochem played Gary.

Answer: True

Jonathan and Mark's goodbye had been tearful. It was clear that Jonathan being an angel had restored something inside Mark. He felt that leaving his sister so she could live her own life, and joining Jonathan on his journey to help people, was his calling. Jonathan wanted to be able to say "yes" to Mark, but he explained that it wasn't his call.

Answer: Mark's car broke down

Mark turned around to head back the way he'd come, and before he'd gotten too far, his car broke down. It was not unlike the first time we saw Jonathan hitchhiking in part one, when the old man refused to give him a ride into town. The old man's truck broke down right after he drove away, and Jonathan "repaired" the truck for him.

Answer: Michael Landon

Michael and Victor directed all of the season one episodes. Michael Landon directed the most total episodes of all, at 94. Victor French directed 12 episodes. Claxton and Gordon directed after season one. Claxton also directed 74 episodes of "Little House".
