By this point the 80s the greatest decade was bef to run out of gas everywhere. But this show stayed strong for 5 seasons.
Here because, well, I miss tv shows like this.
I had a few great teachers that I will never forget and this show reminds me of them .
Putting an Elder Person through Tests is abominally wrong 'at times'. The day will come when the Younger are Elder, may their Youngers be more kinder, more understandable & more Respectful to them then the present young are being to their elders 🙏💜✌️✌️
This is this old man’s third time to b in one of Michael ‘s story’s on Highway To Heaven......good actor....
. I'm so happy that I have revelation that Jesus is king of kings amen
Lew Ayers was his name
@@benjaminleigh1627 ~ Me too Benjamin! Very rarely do people talk about Christ, or share The Gospel in these comments, and though Highway to Heaven is a pleasant TV show... lt dosent tell people how to get there. These only ONE WAY, through Jesus Christ. So thank you Benjamin! _ALL GLORY_ goes to The KING of kings, and LORD of lords! ~ :D
What other episodes of Highway to heaven was he in
Les Ayres (Mr. Zelinka) was a star right in his youth in 1930, in the movie ¨Al quite in the Western Front¨. It is interesting that I didn´t want to retire but since I got 55 is so difficult to find a job. People tell me that my resume is terrific. I want to get my pension now because of survival ... not because I want to stop working
Loved the episode on Mr Zelinka! All of the Highway to Heaven episodes speak to the heart and soul of issues which are important morally and ethically. I too am a teacher and I love my students. I just turned 60 and their enthusiasm breathes life into me. I can’t imagine another career and very honestly am frightened by the idea of retirement so I believe God sent me to be a teacher and that is what I intend to continue doing.
It keeps me young alive and “on my toes.” I love it and I feel blessed to be doing it.
"NO NO Z wont go" - stuck in my head
Teachers like this man are like unicorns they almost don't exist. Every teacher I had was condescending and pompous. If you had a great teacher you were very blessed.
Mr. Zelinka is one in a million.Today teachers,they can’t wait to reach their retirement age.
Can you believe the Board of Education requiring Mr. Zelinka to pass a competency test? A great many of today's teachers can't even pass a 6th grade competency test, and yet, they're still teaching!
Very true . How some of the teachers of today achieved a College degree in Education is shocking .
Unions are the sole reason our children are being indoctrinated and not taught.
There experts in Marxism
You should see the teachers in Baltimore city! Baltimore has one of the worst test scores and is like 3rd or 5th. In money spent on a pupils. Also the head ceo of Baltimore city schools makes 435,000 a year for having one of the worst school systems in America!
I looked up Lew Ayers filmography and it is endless. He was also married for a while to Ginger Rogers. What a life...
I am a teacher as well. Been for 6 yrs. Passion is key to success in all areas-Teaching especially
Well done to you!♥️👍
Another great one thank you Michael Landon
every episode is a life lesson remember it good bless you all
One great episode. I had some real special teachers in my time and I sure would have hated to see them kicked out in the street because of an arbitrary and discriminatory age rule. Good teachers are what makes school "fun". It's always fun to have one's mind stretched and it's a lot of fun to learn.
kids are indoctrinated these days by left wing liberal "teachers"
I love this episode. Those jokers tried to retire a gem. Shame on them.
Great episode. In today's world, imagine today about keeping Mr Zelinka teaching. Social media. Kids really caring that much about a teacher. Mr. Z having his own hashtag. Students laughing about this on their cell phones. Much more caring generation back then despite a tv show.
Yes, my generation! Those kids are my age now!
the young generation today are so full of themselves
they only care about themselves
Joe Clayton I’m glad to say my 4 kids are not like that but I totally understand where u r coming from, sadly here in the uk we have knife crime too, but I’m also glad to say I’ve raised my kids to care for others and always help someone when u know what is happening to them is wrong, I’ve had teachers calling me to tell me that at least one or two of my kids have stood up for others being bullied etc, and that makes me feel proud especially when a lot of kids today like someone said would be recording it on their phones to put on social media, it’s sad that it’s come to this isn’t it, the only good thing about that is that at least there’s proof of the crime or act the person has done so it makes convictions easier for the police, there was sadly one case about a year ago when a child got bullied just outside of my kids school and one of the bullies mates recorded it and the police as well as people on social media seen it and the girl was arrested, that’s the only good part, sadly at the time of the incident the poor girl got hurt and wasn’t anyone around to help her only the nasty vile bully and her mates, if u can call them that, I think they are all sheep following the bully because they are scared of her, thank god if one of my kids was there they would of done the right thing and helped her get away, it’s so wrong, and it’s also crazy how more and more girls r fighting and getting into more trouble than boys!! I remember when girls were more lady like, not running around acting like a Tom boy, it’s so sad, God bless to u and your family too, may the world shape up and more kids learn right from wrong, after all the message all the time on this very program is that it only take one person to make a difference and then many will follow, all the best, Kate 😊 xx
It is rare to see such students who love their teacher so much, and are ready to fight for him. I love the highway to heaven!♥️👍 👼
Mr. Z reminds me of my 11the grade chemistry teacher, Mr. Simpson, at Fulton High in Missouri. He was so much fun, but wasn't a pushover. He once exploded a balloon filled with hydrogen in class. While we students had a blast, the principal was walking by and nearly went into hysterics.lol! We need more teachers like both Mr. Z and Mr. Simpson, and I believe other teachers would benefit from from their example. That is to say, ALL teachers are capable of achieving great success with the proper guidance and motivation from dedicated peers. More participation and interest and less criticism by parents and guardians wouldn't hurt either. Children learn from the adults around them.
Would have been more satisfying if the kids had found a way to turn the tables afterward and make that smarmy principal take the same rigged competency test.
Your balloon story reminded me of my own HS chem teacher. We came in one day to see a balloon on his desk that he touched with a match. It went up with a little flame and he said "That was helium." The next day there was another balloon and this time he stood back and used one of those long fireplace matches. It went up in a big burst of flame and he said "That was hydrogen." The third day there was yet another balloon and this time he had a long match taped to the end of a six-foot pole. We went into a panic and those of us in the first couple of rows were ducking for cover since we were closer to the balloon than he was. The balloon just went "pop" and he said "That was air." That was nearly 50 years ago, but I still laugh thinking about how he played us with that stunt.
@@brettmiddleton7949 Imagine a teacher trying something like that in class today.
That was very funny when the teacher started answering all the questions without any ploblem. 😁😁👍
Love this episode! Alot of older people like Mr z do great things. The president of America is 79 regardless of if you love or hate him.
Dang! ALL the students at the school signed the petition to keep Mr. Z in? Even his student who got an F and the others who weren't enrolled in his class? That's quite the feat.
I spend 10 minutes on today's tv , and here it is 2'37 am been here from 5 pm we need more movies like this
Oh my heart! in my entire school days...I havent got any Teacher like Mr. Zelinka!!!!!! teachers should watch this episode!!! LOVED IT!! our Angel Team...Jonathan and Mark........I just love them so much...
Excellent episode
What a Jewel.
At UNLV we have one great Math teacher who is better at the subject at 85 years of age than most others in the department. And he is still teaching today. He had the same attitude that Mr Z had in this presentation. He is also the longest tenured member of the states (Nevada) higher education institutions (both Reno and Vegas campuses). If I had not gotten this near fatal infection at 70 which ruined my legs I would still be teaching too. I loved teaching Math.
I'm Vegas born and raised and graduated from UnLV with a business degree in 03.
RIP MR. Z
This reminds me of my high school teacher.
When he came in. Everyone turned to a mouse... 😂
Sweet memories..
Good show..
Thank you.
Im used to seeing them lie a bit in order to make the miracles happen but this is the first time theyve had to cheat. But it was rigged and it was for the best outcome. We all have that 1 special teacher in school that made our days better and make us feel as if we mattered. Mine was Sarah Murphy. RIP Ms Murphy
Amazing...even God alowed to help by this test...😀😃😄😅🤣
Nice modern-day retelling of "Goodbye, Mr. Chips". Well, "modern" for the 1980s. If done now, in the age of smart phones, the Internet, and social media, it would be very different. They'd probably have to title it "Goodbye, Boomer, and Good Riddance". The kids would be running the school and there would be a safe space set aside in every hallway.
If you don't want to retire you can always volunteer ! ! !
Watching this episode is why I appreciate Dick Van Dyke, William Shatner, Barbara Eden, Marla Gibbs, and the late Betty White. Never stop working....Keep on keeping on
The best show I have seen on UA-cam
Loved this one
The great Lew Ayres, all the way from "All Quite on the Western Front" in 1930
He was so handsome as a young man, and so dapper as an older one. :D
Really? One of the greatest war movies ever made.
My 12th grade english teacher was a punk rocker a great guy and teacher
I am so thankful for folks that fight for the rights of others !!!!❤❤️😃
I wish I had Jonathan when I took my exams, lol!
He only cheated because the board cheated. I'm not be sure many would consider this the "moral" solution, but maybe this is why Jonathon is still a "probationary" angel.
Jesus is my best teacher
Remember in this life everyone, it's not about you,and it's not about me.Its about sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and the love and the word of God, with everyone. And being a good Christian friend to all. I love each of you equally, all the way to Heaven.

It's like a flashback seeing those kids in the gym during surprise party. I graduated hs the year this episode aired.
Me too.
if only I had a teacher like MR Z
amazing episode a lie begets a lie! If the board was honest on their exam given Mr Z could have passed it all throughout. God gave them their own doze of medicine! Godbless!
I never knew this episode existed. I have a very unusual last name and I am a teacher. This is so cool!😮
Good show highway to heaven very good show teach us lot. Love you Michael London your smile make me feel so happy when I 😭😭😭 sad . Rest in peace both of you Michael London and Victor french 😭😭💯💕🕊️🙏👌👪💜💜

RIP. buddy
This shows what caring and loving students..
Will do for a first rate teachet like mr.z.
That was pretty alright!
I liked that one!
Thank you much for uploading theses🌷 -- AM SO SORRY that they end soon😞
It s terrible to retire some one because of their age they should be allowed to work as long as they are able to or want to

Grandma Moses began painting in earnest at the age of 78.
How did mike think of all the scripts when he had to film an episode a week.
That Mr. Z is so unfair! He expects Howe to still hand in his Homework after helping him save his job.🤦🏾♀️
He looks way older than 70.
This is what 70 looked like in the 1980's...
daddy longleg Very true.
Lew Ayers was 80 when this episode was filmed.
Nolan Boles Thanks for the information, I knew he looked older!
90% of teachers today would fail that test.... but to ease retirement age teachers from school one could give them an easier schedule (a) in high school in own subjects, (b) in university or night school and most importantly (c) in teacher training.
Schools today have too many facilitators, not teachers, who merely present data, mark exam papers and use white boards.. not looking at the class as a surrogate parent noting kids who don't get it, those that do and those sitting on the fence. Their job is to feed all 3 categories respectively with challenge, basic stepping stones and motivation. That is a difficult call as most teacher training is theory for so young students with no life experience and tend to play favourites.
Further class sizes should be around 12 and also have team teaching where teachers chose their partners based on their mutual spark, knowledge, presentation and integrity. The state can afford it as all finances are mere numbers in a computer. Retirement should be at age 60 for all and kids only need 4 days a week schooling and have time to learn life skills, accountability and being practical in organised community projects.
But what would I know, I am just a humble maintenance man!
However at age 70 the spark may flicker with low batteries, be out of touch or intolerant of youth culture, deal with changing IT, teaching methods and dubious ideology of conveyor belt syllabuses to suit corporations who benefit the most from education. It is corporations who should foot the bill for all school and tertiary education.
Throughout the episode, the school at which Mr. Zelinka teaches is referred to as Lincoln High School. However, during a wide shot of the student protest, the name Van Nuys High School is clearly visible across the front of the school.
It's quite good...I MEAN REEALLY GOOD
There is tremendous age bias in the teaching field. Also I don't believe that every student signed the petition. Eighty percent would b more normal. However, the real thrust of this series is Landon's push toward the light-doing the right thing, being a better person, trying to initiate positive change--anti violence, anti-chauvinism etc.
While i agree that as long as he is Competent , he should be allowed to continue teaching if that is what he chooses . However , I think the wiser choice would be to retire and enjoy the short time that is left to live . His monthly pension would be enough for him to enjoy traveling from time to time , and so many other leisure activities that would be much less stressful than to continue working .
Some people lives are work and they will feel lost without it. These are a rare breed of person who has this attitude. But the system must be made to embrace these types and let do there thing. The wiser of two alternatives sometimes is not the best alternative.
@Mark James ....Great points . I suppose each to their own . I have many years left until retirement , but I will choose to enjoy life vacationing , hobbies , volunteer work , and generally stress free activities . Again , everybody to their own Accord .
@@joeblowe7446 You may change you mind by that time.
Basically a good episode--nice to see Lew Ayers again--but goodness, talk about a Deus ex machina ending!
Excellent, fabulous stuff.
Coooollllll!!!!

I’m like where have I heard that before oh Simone from all my children
they should put show like these on for the kids these day and take away them dam games they play then maybe the kids wouldnt bully and want to kill people.
I went to school back when this show was made. There was plenty of bullying all through school and school shootings too.
@@hotlips3923 yeah, I was bullied a lot then, but I took it like a man (albeit a young man)! I didn't get a machine gun and mass murder anyone!
MARY CHRISTMAS . 💂👼🎅🎄 they are exciting and you don't know what's going to come next. I like the shows because there all funny and exciting
happy new year
I taught at Charlotte County in Florida and the School Board is overseen by the Superintendent. Later I started law enforcement and have spoken about how the school system has failed us in NW GA. I have been called to a great many sexual assaults and drugs are sky rocketed. They don't protect or educate the children and young adults but lead them into a failing system.
Beautiful story
Love this one!❤
This episode kind of reminds me of Jimmy Walker, DYNOMITE!!!!!
😂 really like this show used to watch it with my mom, when I was a kid what. What a mean name Miss Hancock?😅.
Heyway to Haven
Ya why should anyone who is reliable and yet competent be forced to retire, in this day n age nobody can afford to retire so be as it may let us not retire at 70 but until we can no longer work, only!!!!!!
This an example of the world's way of handling things instead of God's way. :
Absolutely. Amen
High school sucked for me ..I was labeled from my get go!!
44:32 wasnt something that a teacher can do to thank you ,and make you feel better
who likes homework
I have seen angels.
So this is where they got lean on me from ???
Boy do I still wish I had the stuff during my SAT from 1996 hahahahaha....
I had teacher that worked til she was in her eights
Just goes to show how there higher up will cheat just to get what they want but nice to c there crap back fired when u have a angel on your side. This is like in rl and how slimy people r on the people who do r not with power. Sad. Goes to also show when u r a good person people can c that and will help at times. People can make a diff in life but most don't care to try. people will complain but no nothing to change it. So don't complain unless u tried first.
