Quality entertainment full of life lessons. You are a better person for watching, understanding, and putting into practice those lessons.

Family friendly, the characters were compelling, gave a good flavor about life on the frontier.

Never seen the series but have read the books many many times.
I think the amazement I had as a kid growing up in the city is lost upon my children as seeing bears, moose, wolves etc and looking at forests that go as far as you can see and getting hundreds of inches of snow a year is routine for them. |

Oh it was wonderful. Every week a story about a child being crushed under a wagon wheel, losing their dog to rabies, going deaf or blind. Quality family entertainment.

You had a maybe two or more generations at the time the show came out that actually lived that type of life in America when they were younger. My grandmother was born in 1894 in Virginia. My my mother was born in 1927 in a one room shack with a dirt floor in West Virginia. They loved that show when it originally ran because that was the life they lived. You had most of the South in the mid 70s being only one generation with electricity and running water.

When you only had one TV and three TV channels to pick from, you watched whatever your parents chose and you liked it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Same thing with The Andy Griffith show. And the Waltons. Little House and the Waltons were mid-70s contemporaries, while Griffith was 60s. As another poster mentioned, there were three networks and usually three channels and a couple independent stations and maybe PBS in most markets back then. In many areas it was less than that, too -- I remember in northern AZ you were lucky to get a couple stations on translators from Phoenix in the 70s and they were fuzzy as hell. Pretty much anything that got and stayed on the air was by definition "popular" back then. |

Same except I read the books when I lived in a rural quasi prairie area. For being a children’s book it covered some pretty stark stuff in great detail. Indian raids, house building, sickness, disasters. Hell, it gave step by step instructions on how her dad used to clean and load his black powder rifle. Not to mention things like wooden hinges, cooking, etc. |

I watch it all the time now that I am working from home. It's a good show, at least until the later episodes when they don't actually live on the prairie, rather they live in town.
