Let’s go back to a simpler time. There’s nothing quite like taking a stroll down memory lane and reliving the shows that we so much looked forward to back in the day- today let’s revisit Little House on the Prairie. It was 1974 and America needed The Ingalls. The country was in the midst of a tiresome and controversial war in Vietnam, and a rustic cabin in the wilderness filled with a wholesome family was exactly what we needed.

Although the show followed the life and adventures of a family living on a farm in the late 1800s, the issues they dealt with are still relatable to viewers even today. The show became a big hit right off the bat and will certainly be remembered as one of the greatest shows of all time. The show was based on the best-selling series the Little House Books, which were actually semi-autobiographical, based on the author Laura Ingalls Wilder’s real-life family. Laura lived from 1867 to 1957 and is responsible for creating the book series that would pave the way for several on-screen adaptations.

Still a joy to watch. Every episode never fails to brings a smile to my lips and a tear to my eye.
So many episodes still relevant to today’s problems. Great story writing.

I am a 90s baby & love this show. This show teaches us Moral values you don't see much of in the 21st century. So sad. God bless everyone 🙏 ❤

When innocence was still in every childhood..."Little House on the Prairie" was the TV series of my childhood, along with Moby Dick, Tweetie Bird, and Road Runner. Those were beautiful years. Thank you to everyone behind this show. You made my childhood a beautiful memory.

[yapmagi]

I never miss any single episodes. Love the series as it teaches family values.

I grew up watching this show and continued through my adult life. I am now 61 years old and I still watch the repeats if I find them . The Little House on the Prairie is one of the best shows on TV that ever was shown. Back then when decent programs were shown for the old and the young as well. It would be nice to see something like this again in this time now. There is too much violence shown now and too much indecent scenes on certain progrrams. Thank you "Little House On The Prairie for giving us such wonderful and amazing true life entertainment of all time.

My family thinks I’m cheesy for loving this show but it brings back so many great memories for me. It never gets old. I know that all things must come to an end but it could have gone on for another few more seasons for me. I still watch reruns every chance that I get and I just learned that there were many episodes in seasons 8 and 9 that I don’t even recall ever seeing.

[woketruth]

Those were the good old days... I miss my childhood.. this makes me a little sad many family members gone too. Great family show❤️

Nels and Harriet were amazing for that show. Their acting was top notch.

Good memories of sitting watching TV in the 70s and 80s with my parents. Back when tv was innocent and you could watch with your parents and not be embarrassed.
