I like all his shows, but my favorite is definitely "Highway To Heaven."

Little House On The Prairie

My favorite was Bonanza.

I liked Little House for a while but I eventually got tired of it.

I didn't watch Highway to Heaven. When they put Valerie on I started to try to watch it but they tried to 'ugly Valerie up' (not that such a thing is possible) so she wouldn't compete with Roma Downey and I resented that.

That was Touched by an Angel.

It's not easy for me to answer without adding to what "best" means.

I like Bonanza but Lorne Greene was always the lead actor, though Landon achieved increasing popularity & status as the many years went on. Script quality was uneven at times.

Unquestionably Landon was the star of both LHoP & Highway to Heaven, but I give a nod to LHoP because it was the more successful series of the 2, longer run and greater popularity. However, Landon was more of an undivided focus on Highway -- he carried it in an extremely big way. LHoP continued for a bit without him.

I will go with LHop due to its quality, impact, and longevity.

There are many memorable episodes of all 3 series, and I've watched many of them multiple times.
