Once I saw a grown man on the street sobbing. I asked him if I could help him and he smiled and said "no, thank you but I just came from my sister's house and we were watching Little House on the Prairie. It always makes me cry. It was a much simpler time.
When I was in the third grade my teacher, Miss Dickenson, used to read from Little House books every lunch hour. No one had ever heard of Little House on the prairie. But shortly afterward, it was on TV.
I grow up in the 70’ with the little house on the prairie and I loved it dearly ❤️ Today I am 62 years old and I got SO happy to see they started to send it again on the TV-screen here in Norway! I now watch it with the same enthusiasm and excitement as when I was a child and cry like a baby on the sad parts! Amazing 😂😂😂‼️ No TV-series has ever had such an impact on me before or after as the little house on the prairie ❤️❤️❤️ But it’s only the original actors and films that can make the magic on this series! They can never bring the same magic back with new actors and stages!!
The saddest episode for me was when Albert snuck beneath the blind school and smoked that cigar and the blind school caught on fire and Mary lost her baby as she thought that Hester Sue was going to get the baby out but some other blind child was stuck behind a door and could not get out and she sat the baby down to help free the other blind child and both Hester Sue and the baby died and could be seen trapped at the window unable to escape. Then later Mary is seen in a daze humming to herself and Albert is sent in to try to speak to his sister Mary and giver her comfort but he is ridden with guilt.
I was still in the primary school in the 70's. My sister and I watch Little House on the Prairie every week. Its been decades now but I still feel excited watching the reruns of this show. I love the Ingalls Family . I wish that I could turn back the time..
I’m 46 now but I remember when I was in kindergarten, I couldn’t wait to get home so that I could watch LHOTP. It was my absolute favorite. That and Fragel Rock 😂
Oh my Lord - I cried SO much watching that show. Remember when Half Pint ran away? She thought she did something awful and the guilt was consuming her. Everybody was crying. Ma Ingalls, Pa..the other kids, Bandit the dog, the cows. Man when Pa lost it, that was it for me.
This show was everything when I was a child. I was so taken by the entire show. I was born long ago when there was no technology to record stuff and we had a small tv which was a huge thing.
My mom actually required we watch this show back in the day lol. Such a crazy time back then. You could watch T&A on Charlie's Angle's one night, wholesome Little House another, and boomers bed hopping on The Love Boat on the weekend. I wouldn't trade growing up in this era for anything, maybe the late 40s would've been cool.
The episode, Sylvia because it dealt with teen pregnancy, sexual assault, leering, rape and stalking. Sylvia is regarded ss Little House on the Prairie's darkest episodes. It had a sad ending.
I developed a real fondness for this show when I was an adult. My friend and I tried to watch it every day for a while. Then I moved. I still watch it when I can.
the guy who played Lauras brother Albert,and the guy who played one of her best friends Andrew Garvey were BROTHERS in real life!!! (Matthew and Patrick Labyorteaux).
In 1976 , i was 8 , and my parents moved my family from Canada back to the Uk , their home - i had been watching Little House a while in Canada , and was upset that id never get to see it again ...imagine my joy when here in the Uk , not long after we had moved there - ot came on tv here too 👌✨✨✨✨
I swear, the town I grew up in back in the 70s 80s, we never felt like LHOTP was too far removed. We were surrounded by old houses built during that time period. Our garage was once a black smith shop, still had the old pot bellied stove which my dad used for heat in the winter when he worked out there!
I grew up with this show, still watch it at age 63. The funny thing is that I did not ever think they were all stoner drug addicts. Now THAT was acting.
I loved Little House on the Prairie. They used to go to Tucson for some celebrity baseball games. The first one we went to, these two twin kids were coming up to us and we were playing with them. And then Michael Landon walked over and it turns out they were his twins! He was so nice and he asked us to go on the field and play with the twins. I was too shy but another girl that was with us went out and played with them. Michael gave us autographed photos and he took my camera and was taking photos of all the cast and the baseball game, sadly it was the days of the flash cubes and because it was so bright we didn't think we needed flash, so none of the photos turned out. But I'll never forget that day! I just realized the other day one of the twins is the actress on Yellowstone! Jennifer Landon, the one with the pink hair! (Teeter) So cool !
I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie. It did teach alot of wholesome values about family life. I think watching it made me a better person today. Kinda funny how a TV show could do that. But times were different back then. TV shows nowadays are exactly the opposite. That is why divorce rate, violence and other evils have increased. My two cents. Anyways, thanks for the memories.
One episode that hurt my heart was when Caroline’s parents were traveling to visit them and Caroline’s mama passed on in route. I started crying like crazy when Caroline came running to the covered wagon all happy and excited only to find a coffin that contained her mama. That was a sad episode.😢
People are not perfect there will always be issues on and off set ..but the concept of little house and how faith kept them strong was beautiful i cried and laughed with this heart warming masterpiece....
Goes to show you. Being rich and famous isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Really sad because this show is what I grew up on. One of my favorites. Very sad how so many of these characters turned to drugs and alcohol.
I don't care what none of the cast members did I still to this day I'm 60 years old and I watch Little House on the prairie it just brings back so much memories
I hope I am remembering right, but 3 episodes come to mind that kinda got me back then. One was a girl RapED, got pregnant and her father sent her away to hide she'd been assaulted. The other was where a they were jumping into hay from a barn loft and a boy jumped onto a pitchfork (not sure it was LHotP). The 3rd one was where a girl lost her necklace while swimming with everyone, dove down to find it, and didn't come back up. I guess I could say a 4th would be when Charles and friend were out of town working laying the railroad and the one guy always playing jokes with dynamite blew himself up. I hope I'm remembering them correctly from Little House on the Prairie.
I grew up watching it and watched the whole series, but for some reason I wasn't much of a fan. I feel in love with it later on in life and it is one of my favorite TV shows ever. Wish we had more shows like it.
It was the family’s high point to watch it. We had absolutely shitty tv in my country, and this was the only thing that was see worthy at the time. We flocked around it every Saturday evening eating cinnamon buns and it was the only hours in which I wasn’t abused or sexually assaulted. I got a look at what a real father would have looked like, something so different from my own abusive father. I learned speaking English from that tv series and it became a dear memory.
I enjoyed watching, Little House On The Prairie" but I also enjoyed, "Highway To Heaven" with Michael being an Angel trying to help an alcoholic. The irony of it. I didn't know that he was raised Jewish though.
My mother made the doll that Carrie is holding. Michael Landon came into her store on Studio city blvd. “ The Godmothers giftique” and asked if she could make three of them because they needed an extra doll as one will burn in a barn fire.
They filmed in my hometown, and we walk to the sets from school as mini field trips. Micheal was always real nice, welcomed or family to lunch, and watch as they filmed some of the blizzards. The train they used would later be used in Back to the future 3. Every year they'd come and play softball with the local high school and hang up with those who came. Very fond memories. Kinda wish they quit putting stuff like this out there, yes they were all flawed, so are we, but they put something special out and somethings would be better left alone, it's like digging up dirt on Lucy... leave it... Let us keep those nice memories, they're no longer here to give their side.
I was a kid of the 70s and and me and my 3 sisters watched this every week. We huttled around the TV and watched it while addiction went on behind us. Addiction was a normal thing back then because alot men came back from Vietnam all screwed up. My stepdad and his dog chopper. I'll never forget how Little House on the Prarie was our escape. The 70s was a time much much different than today. This was a great show.
This show was so great even a new one wouldn't be the same. Theres so many great actors but my favorite were his wife and kids, loved Hariet also. Watched it years after
I'm a child of the 1970s, I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie, it was something that inspired integrity and honesty.
I was born 68 and grew up watching this, which we loved as a family? The youngest falling while running down the hill is always MEMORABLE 😊
Once I saw a grown man on the street sobbing. I asked him if I could help him and he smiled and said "no, thank you but I just came from my sister's house and we were watching Little House on the Prairie. It always makes me cry. It was a much simpler time.
When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on Melissa Sue Anderson. She had the most beautiful crystal blue eyes.
Shannon Doherty Rest In Peace - Jenny Wilder On Little House On The Prairie!
Mrs Olson was really a sweetheart who got along with everyone. The way she played the character was classic
When I was in the third grade my teacher, Miss Dickenson, used to read from Little House books every lunch hour.
No one had ever heard of Little House on the prairie. But shortly afterward, it was on TV.
I still watch the show every day.
It makes me forget how bad the world is, even if for a little while.
I would love to go back and live in that time era. Way back when people were somewhat normal and had morals.
I grow up in the 70’ with the little house on the prairie and I loved it dearly ❤️ Today I am 62 years old and I got SO happy to see they started to send it again on the TV-screen here in Norway!

I still watch if sometimes and I’m 66 year old !!! I loved that show.💕
I still watch Little House now & im 62. Man 62 sounds old but i feel 40 😂

I don’t care if they drank 3 cases of Hard Liquor 🥃 Everyday..this show is still a MASTERPIECE ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!❤
I was still in the primary school in the 70's. My sister and I watch Little House on the Prairie every week. Its been decades now but I still feel excited watching the reruns of this show. I love the Ingalls Family . I wish that I could turn back the time..
I loved this show growing up. When they had reruns on ...two episodes back to back... I would watch them everyday while my daughter had her nap.
I was a little kid that would run to the TV with some goodies to eat and was in heaven as tge show srarted !!
I loved this show. ❤️
Little house is one of the best shows ever produced, owing to the great story lines, great writing, great locations and great acting.
I’m 46 now but I remember when I was in kindergarten, I couldn’t wait to get home so that I could watch LHOTP. It was my absolute favorite. That and Fragel Rock 😂
Melissa Sue Anderson was a beautiful girl.
Oh my Lord - I cried SO much watching that show. Remember when Half Pint ran away? She thought she did something awful and the guilt was consuming her. Everybody was crying. Ma Ingalls, Pa..the other kids, Bandit the dog, the cows. Man when Pa lost it, that was it for me.

Born in 1960, Little House on the Prairie and The Walton's were my and my belated moms favorite shows...
This show replaced my family when I was growing up and helped me escape the reality of my own family (well... this show and The Waltons)
I swear, the town I grew up in back in the 70s 80s, we never felt like LHOTP was too far removed. We were surrounded by old houses built during that time period. Our garage was once a black smith shop, still had the old pot bellied stove which my dad used for heat in the winter when he worked out there!
Amazing that despite the trials on set, it was a wonderful production.
Micheal Landon had a hellish childhood. It's a wonder he turned out as well as he did.. It was heartbreaking what he went through.
Simplicity at its best! something no amount of money can buy. wonderful show despite all the obstacles along the way.
They can never make show like this no more
I was born Oct 30th, & lived about 15mins away from Forest Hills for 26yrs. Always loved Michael Landon, so handsome.

I used to watch it when I was a child, in Greece. Laura was my favourite.
I watch the waltons just as the little house on the prairie❤ them both👀🏜️🏞️🌅🌄🌲🌳🌵🐶🦊🦝🐻🏚️🐎🐎👀🩱🦵🦵💋💋💋💋💋👙
In my opinion Nelly and her mom make that show so great
As a 10 year old boy growing up in London; we used to watch it with my bigger sis after School...l hat the HOTS for Laura...
I loved this show and I don't care what anybody does or what they say. Everyone on that show is amazing.
I loved watching Little House on the Prairie. So many great shows back in the olden days. Wish they would make shows l back in the ,50's- early 70's
My little sister loved this show. Every time it came on and she was home we watched it. At least that's how I recall. :)
This was a favorite of mine. And the Cosby show. It is so sad to think it was not what we thought.
One episode that hurt my heart was when Caroline’s parents were traveling to visit them and Caroline’s mama passed on in route. I started crying like crazy when Caroline came running to the covered wagon all happy and excited only to find a coffin that contained her mama. That was a sad episode.😢
It’s important that children today watch shows from the 80s like Little House along with others like ALF, The Jefferson’s, Alice, What’s Happening.
Highway to Heaven was another good show of his.
One of my childhood programmes, I used to cry at the storylines the show really touched me, iconic production 💜
Loved this show growing up! I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa Gilbert when she lived in Michigan,she was very down to earth 😊❤
Just remember that actors are pretending to be someone they are not . When not acting they are just regular people who have faults too.
In real life, Laura Ingalls was very prim and proper with Alonzo. He courted her for years before they married.
Melissa Gilbert was jealous of Melissa Sue Anderson because she was so beautiful.
People are not perfect there will always be issues on and off set ..but the concept of little house and how faith kept them strong was beautiful i cried and laughed with this heart warming masterpiece....
Goes to show you. Being rich and famous isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Really sad because this show is what I grew up on. One of my favorites. Very sad how so many of these characters turned to drugs and alcohol.
I always had a crush on Michael Landon..
😂
I don't care what none of the cast members did I still to this day I'm 60 years old and I watch Little House on the prairie it just brings back so much memories
I was 7 years old when the pilot aired for the first time. I still love it, it will always be my favorite TV show

No one will tarnish my love for this awesome family show!
Good old days.
I grew up watching it and watched the whole series, but for some reason I wasn't much of a fan. I feel in love with it later on in life and it is one of my favorite TV shows ever. Wish we had more shows like it.
With a Catholic mother, Landon was not Jewish according to Jewish law.
It was the family’s high point to watch it. We had absolutely shitty tv in my country, and this was the only thing that was see worthy at the time. We flocked around it every Saturday evening eating cinnamon buns and it was the only hours in which I wasn’t abused or sexually assaulted. I got a look at what a real father would have looked like, something so different from my own abusive father.
I learned speaking English from that tv series and it became a dear memory.
Great show. I watched it when I was a kid.
The show was tame too, compared to what happened to them in the books Laura wrote
He had beautiful kids on and off the show who must still miss him today.
A delightful series with a fantastic cast of characters!
I enjoyed watching, Little House On The Prairie" but I also enjoyed, "Highway To Heaven" with Michael being an Angel trying to help an alcoholic. The irony of it. I didn't know that he was raised Jewish though.
I read the books and watched the show I loved it
The best show ever. Still watch it today ❤
I’ll forever love this precious wholesome show!
The children who entertain the world pay a heavy price though
This was my favorite show growing up. Was so excited when I found I was going to Laura Ingalls Wilder school!!!
My most favorite show of all.
My mother made the doll that Carrie is holding. Michael Landon came into her store on Studio city blvd. “ The Godmothers giftique” and asked if she could make three of them because they needed an extra doll as one will burn in a barn fire.
A few months ago I rewatched the entire series and the additional endings. I loved it as a child and still do, 50 years later.
Michael Landon was a Christian before he died
I am a child of the 60s and I grew up watching The House on the prairie
One of the truly "relic of Americana" TV show.
Sadly, BIg Sky Ranch is no longer there. I used to repair their phone lines when it was.
My great grandmother lived across the pasture from them at one time.
I enjoyed a lot. It's sad people has to go through pancreatic cancer 😢
It almost seems like actors are just acting and are different persons in real life.
Melissa Gilbert is my nieghbor here in Michigan. Shes so " normal" not much starstruck now😊
Who remembers the episode about a 14 year old girl who was raped?
A taboo that was rare for that time on tv.
Pretty creepy for that era.
They filmed in my hometown, and we walk to the sets from school as mini field trips. Micheal was always real nice, welcomed or family to lunch, and watch as they filmed some of the blizzards. The train they used would later be used in Back to the future 3.
Every year they'd come and play softball with the local high school and hang up with those who came.
Very fond memories. Kinda wish they quit putting stuff like this out there, yes they were all flawed, so are we, but they put something special out and somethings would be better left alone, it's like digging up dirt on Lucy... leave it...
Let us keep those nice memories, they're no longer here to give their side.
If you didn't think hollywood was F-up. You were born on another planet.
This is one of my favorite childhood shows. Plus I bought the entire series. Including the movies. They better not remake it.
Does anyone remember the episode where Ma had to almost amputate her leg?
Sean Penn was in an early episode. It was the one where the mute man made a bell for the church and the children helped.
First time i saw Nellie get hers in mud i was standing n living room i was ylling get her get her...
on Saturday morning in the UK, good viewing audience!
German name of the show: unsere kleine Farm (our little farm). I was in love with John Boy 🙂
I was a kid of the 70s and and me and my 3 sisters watched this every week. We huttled around the TV and watched it while addiction went on behind us. Addiction was a normal thing back then because alot men came back from Vietnam all screwed up. My stepdad and his dog chopper. I'll never forget how Little House on the Prarie was our escape. The 70s was a time much much different than today. This was a great show.
I watched this show every week.😊
I love little house on the prairie and have them on dvd used to watch it as a child
This show was so great even a new one wouldn't be the same. Theres so many great actors but my favorite were his wife and kids, loved Hariet also. Watched it years after
Great show growing up to love Laura fight scenes in the later series ❤❤❤
