Little House on the Prairie

I grew up watching Little House, and I still watch it today as often as I can. I do nothing between 10-12 and then from 4-6 everyday! My children watch it with me and they are small, 4 and 2. I have never had the opportunity to read the books, but someday I hope I get the chance. My family makes fun of me for still watching it, they say that I'm crazy for liking that "sap", but I would rather watch something wholesome with my children rather than the unwatchable stuff that is on today! They don't make programs for families to sit down and watch together anymore and that is sad. I will always watch Little House on the Prairie and will encourage my children to do the same with their children.

I love little house on the prairie. I watch it every day. Looking at the show, it is impossible to date it in TV decade time. I find this show so much better than the awful shows full of violence and vulgarity on TV today. Sappy? Yes, but it is sure nice to have some cotton candy every now and then. Each time I watch this show, I go back to better days and happy thoughts. There really was a time of innocence and moral values. Hard to believe today. I have given up on todays TV, and I do not allow my children to watch todays TV shows full of demeaning bad behavior and put downs. It seems todays TV is full of bickering, one up-man-ship, and getting over someone else, especially ones own family and friends. Were there a time machine, I would go back to the happy and safe days of my childhood that this TV show was so much a part of. Great TV show!

I've never sat through a complete episode of Little House on the Praire, but my wife, Michelle, is an addict. She watches the show in syndication constantly. She watches back to back one hour episodes from 9 :00 AM - 11:00 AM several days a week.

She swears by Little House. She thinks that it is one of the best television series ever made. She's told me all about the Ingalls and the life that they live. She actually has the original books that the show is based on. Who even knew there were books. She claims that she has the books. Actually, she said that her father has the books in storage, but he might have misplaced them.

The bottom line is very simple. If my wife thinks this show is that great, it has to be a phenomenal series.

We give it two thumbs up.

I was a Junior in High School when this show premiered on NBC. A number of us were discussing the new shows on TV and everyone was in agreement that this one would probably not last long even though it seemed to be very well written and done. Well how wrong we all were. Even now years after it has gone off the air the episodes are still great to watch. Some shows just never go out of style. Little House on the Prairie is one of those shows.

I'm nearly 40 years old, I love Little House on the Prairie. I didn't watch too much of it 20 years ago, but totally enjoy watching 2 hours every week-day morning. I actually set my clock to wake up during the summer months, so I don't miss any shows, even though I've seen them all several times. It is a clean show. I say by far, this is my favorite show on tv.

I would love to see a 2000 reunion with all the surviving cast members. I think the Oleson's are pretty cool people. I love the on-going "fussing" with the Ingall's & the Oleson's. I truly hope they don't take this show off the air.
