My Mom, my Dad & I used to watch LHOP every week then watched all the re runs. We also read the books many times there was lots funny scenes & lots of sad scenes. I started watching it when I was 6.

"Little House on the Prairie", which originally aired on NBC from 1974 through 1983, depicts an American family's struggle to survive in pioneer America in the late 19th century. The television series was based on the books written by Laura Ingalls Wilder.The series was largely written by, directed, and starred Michael Landon, who was a television veteran of the program 'Bonanza'.In "Little House", Landon portrays Charles Ingalls. Along with his wife Caroline (Karen Grassle) and children Mary (Melissa Sue Anderson), Laura (Melissa Gilbert), and Carrie (Lindsay-Sidney Greenbush), the Ingalls family endures tremendous hardships in their daily lives, including life among American Indians, crop failures, disease, hunger, wild animals, rough weather, and their neighbors in Walnut Grove, Minnesota. The series is depicted from the perspective of Laura Ingalls.My favorite character in the series is Harriet Oleson, portrayed by Katherine MacGregor. To prevent the story lines from becoming stale, it is crucial for every successful series to have a good villain. Along with her TV daughter Nellie, Harriet Oleson is without a doubt one of the most appealing villains in TV history. Week after week during the 1970s, Harriet Oleson (and her daughter Nellie) did everything possible to make the lives of the Ingalls family difficult.At the end of each episode, however, it was the Ingalls family who inevitably endured and survived life's challenges due to their belief in God, community spirit, work ethic, and mutual love and devotion to one another.My siblings and I watched "Little House on the Prairie" each and every Monday night while growing up in the 1970s. During my childhood, I recall that it was not considered "cool" to admit that you watched this program, although it was consistently a top-rated program during it's original run on NBC."Little House on the Prairie" is an American television classic that has endured the test of time. Belief in God, helping your fellow neighbor, a solid work ethic, and family values are all promoted by this outstanding program.

I absolutely love watching the "Little House on the Prairie". Every short story has some moral behind it. If you like nostalgic shows with very powerful meaning being sent across to you, you will like this one! I haven't read the books which this is based on, but I simply cannot imagine how good the books must be. Every character plays an awesome role in the 1974 show, Micheal Landon, Karen Grassle, Melissa Gilbert, Melissa Sue Anderson. All of them are truly amazing on screen, including the seemingly rude characters played by Scottie MacGregor(Harriet Oleson), Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oleson)and Allison Balson (Nancy Oleson ). This show is good for all ages from 5 and up, but I think it's best watched as an adult simply because you feel so nostalgic and connected with all of the characters. I highly recommend this show to anyone! I give it a 9/10, one point less only because I need to give the book all honors for coming up with the stories a 10/10.

i personally love the series and that it shows life as is and that life was not all that bad or good.as for the characters that is everyday in this world just a different time. just too sad that no remaining children live on to see the love and gratitude that the book brought on to the world. the books are still a best seller. the websites are great also thanks to the readers and all . so lets be honest how different is the life other then the times of the pastalso wast here proof the they took on 3 other kids on to there family if where am interested. also where is all of the kids buried and the parents just curious and wanting to find out more.
