Daddy Dearest or Junior does Tabloid TV
1 September 1999
All of Michael Landon's other children, as well as his sister and his wife, his co-stars, agents and friends...have refused to have anything to do with this latest project of the kid who turns everything he touches into coal. This movie was poorly made, poorly written and poorly directed. Michael Landon JUNIOR makes one wonder how the child of such an incredibly talented man can be so diametrically opposed in every way. Complete lack of acting skill...no directing ability and writing that would make any tabloid editor smile....Junior once again alienates family, friends and the professionals who worked with Michael Landon as he spins his tale of Rich Little Boy Gone Bad and now blaming Dead Daddy... Not worth watching..but, the A and E special done several weeks later in response to this film gets an A plus! Junior's siblings and family are interviewed as well as Michael Landon Senior's...business partners and co-stars.and we see a much different picture than the one portrayed by Junior. Family and friends and business associates of Michael Landon Senior report openly on this special that JUNIOR acted alone and in the face of discouragement from anyone else who knew Landon.

In summary, SILLY TABLOID MOVIE....waste of electrical energy in any home that watches it.
