The program isn't as dumb as it sounds, and if Landon continues to lend his varied talents to it the show should work its way into the hearts and minds of America in much the same way that Little House on the Prairie struck a chord.

It's not unusual, of course, for God and religion to be treated so tritely on TV. But God can survive Highway to Heaven. What might not survive is the Idea of family TV programs.

There are plenty of moments to yawn through in Highway to Heaven. But one cannot deny that the series has taken the right road for the 8pm time slot.

Highway to Heaven is Mr. Landon at his schmaltzy best. The actor-director-writer producer uses every gimmick to evoke goose bumps and wet hankies.

If Landon wants to spread good cheer, that's just fine. I wish him luck. But he doesn't have to use a bulldozer.

Despite the hokey premise, this series offers production and script qualities well above average.

No speed limits are broken on the Highway tonight, since the premiere is rather slow. But I wouldn't bet against Landon on the basis of just this. On TV, no contemporary actor knows the road better than he.

If Its honey is too thick for sophisticated viewers, NBC and Landon are counting on great numbers of viewers who are sick of crime and violence and gratuitous sex to turn to this show as a remedy. It could be a good bet.

What saves tonight's show from its technical shortcomings, and keeps it from dissolving into silliness, are the essential decency of the premise and the understatement with which the "miracles" are performed.

Let's hope that NBC, which really deserves praise for this experimental program, doesn't discover that no good deed goes unpunished. If it doesn't get good ratings, there is no God.

If nothing else, the show is shamelessly manipulative, at one point using the old puppy-dog ploy to pluck the viewers' heartstrings.

Highway to Heaven is, it turns out, a road paved with intentions so good you could throw up. Violence on TV is a problem. But must the alternative be violins?
