Michael Landon (October 31, 1936 – July 1, 1991) was an American actor, writer, director, and producer, who starred in three popular NBC TV series that spanned three decades. He is widely known for his roles as Little Joe Cartwright in Bonanza (1959–1973), Charles Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie (1974–1983), and Jonathan Smith in Highway to Heaven (1984–1989). Landon appeared on the cover of TV Guide twenty-two times, second only to Lucille Ball (TV Guide, July 6, 1991). His twenty-eight years of full-hour television acting surpasses that of TV legends Lucille Ball and James Arness.

Landon produced, wrote, and directed many of his series' episodes, including his shortest-lived production, Father Murphy, which starred his friend and "Little House" co-star Merlin Olsen. In 1981, Landon won recognition for his screenwriting with a Spur Award from the Western Writers of America. Although his youngest daughter Jennifer Landon and Bonanza co-star David Canary, have both won multiple Emmys, Michael Landon was never given the honor. In 1976 Landon wrote and directed an auto-biographical movie, The Loneliest Runner, and was nominated for two Emmys. He also hosted the annual long-running coverage of the Tournament of Roses Parade with Kelly Lange, also on NBC.

******************MY GRADING CRITERIA  ****************

I generally grade conservatively. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH ONE OF MY ITEMS, I AM EASY TO DEAL WITH and a simple email can remedy the matter.  Record labels are always described separate from the vinyl. Flaws with any item are always described in detail. All records are visually AND audibly graded. All items are ORIGINAL unless stated otherwise.

Near mint or mint (-)  Vinyl: Played once or twice. Close to new. No discernable scratches or other imperfections. Sleeves or covers: Also close to new. Will have no discernable flaws.

vg ++  Vinyl: A couple of  light scratches. Very glossy, plays clean. Sleeves or covers: No serious imperfections. May have a minor imperfection or two.

VG+   Vinyl: A few surface scuffs and/or light scratches. Plays clean. Sleeves or covers: A few minor imperfections (small writing, minor wrinkles, a small tear or two or a small stain)

VG    Vinyl: Has obvious surface scuffs and/or surface scratches. Plays ok with minor background noise.  Sleeves and covers: Noted imperfections that will detract from the visual enjoyment (obvious writing, staining, tears, wrinkles, etc.)

VG -  Vinyl: Generally used condition that should still play through if you don't mind all the backgrond noise (tics, pops, hiss...) This grade generally reserved for rare items. Sleeves and covers: Difficult and painful to describe. . .
