Bonanza: The Stillness Within (1971)
Heartfelt episode
Contrary to Thomas' scathing remarks (jealous much?) this is a brilliant episode in which Michael Landon shows what an amazing actor AND director he was. Considering he went on to produce, write, direct AND star in TWO more successful programs following this, I'd say he knew what he was doing & was pretty good at it. Every episode of Bonanza featured a story about one of the boys or Ben or one of the hands, etc. It was never centered entirely on ML. The acting in this episode is fantastic, not only on the part of Michael Landon but also Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker & the lady who plays the teacher.
Little House on the Prairie: The Halloween Dream (1979)
Dumbest episode ever
Not quite sure how Michael Landon could add his name to the writing credits of this disaster - it's utterly ridiculous. They were stretching for storylines at this point I'm guessing - but between this & the one with the "two" Carrie's - just awful. (And I'm a die-hard Little House fan) This is not a normal episode however.
