Little house on the prairie

This was my favourite tv as a child. I have decided to rewatch it (it's on prime). I'm half way though series one
I still love it, although time seems a little fluid there, and lots of people simple disappear!

I loved it but a friend called it “Little House on the Dreary”

I loved this program.
I visited a well preserved ghost town in the USA a few years ago. It wasn't Walnut Grove but it was just like it - the wooden houses with outhouses, church, school room, grocery store etc and obviously used to be inhabited by real people. It was fascinating.

My kids are obsessed with LHOTP, didn't realise it was on prime, I know what we'll be doing this weekend now!

I'm now trying to figure out how old the characters are supposed to be in series one.

The first few seasons were best but then they ran out of original material and started inventing characters like Albert.

Series 3 and Charles hasn't raised a crop yet. He's a terrible farmer

I absolutely loved Little House on the Prairie and watched it every week as a kid. Then I saw a later episode where a really young girl is raped and has a baby and it scarred me. So out of place for that series, anyway just keep an eye out for anyone who is re-watching with their kids

I remember that episode. Everyone thought Albert was the father

I love Melissa Gilbert who plays Laura. She was a pretty kid who grew into a beautiful woman.

Albert also burned the blind school down with his discarded cigarettes and killed Mary's baby

We all loved Nelly in my house. Thanks OP I'll be putting this on as my background tv next week.

I loved it but it was quite sad at times. I loved Nellie and Mrs Olsen. She was a horror. The episode when Nellie met her future husband was the best ever.

You have to wonder if Nells would have made any kind of living doing business his way and how difficult life would be if they all had to get supplies from a big town instead.

I've seen the first few seasons so many times but have never watched them grow up and get married, etc. I seem to stop when Albert comes along.
My mum used to watch it every Sunday. Some moments really stick in my mind, like Laura thinking she found gold in a stream or when baby Charles died and Laura ran away. Oh and I think Laura thought she caught rabies from a raccoon.
