Mr. Pop History – No. Just before Michael Landon (Eugene Orowitz) died from cancer, he was working on a pilot/series called “Us” – which aired on CBS TV in September of 1991 and after his passing. Interesting, because Landon was always associated with NBC which about the same time, aired a two-hour tribute to the actor who brought us “Bonanza,” “Little House…” and “Highway To Heaven.’
