There was an episode where one of the girls needed an operation to save her life. Mr. Ingles and his friend went to Washington and petitioned the government for free health care and a living wage.
Just kidding...he manned up and went out and found work to pay for her operation and everything worked out fine because he's not a pussy. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was born in the 80’s. I have no idea. I was born in the early 60's and in the 70's we had two and a half tv channels over the air. Two that came in clear and one that the reception was crappy most of the time. Not a whole lot of viewing options. |

The 70s were really not too far from the late 1800s in most of the Country. People could relate.

The books were written by Laura Ingalls (and possibly her daughter) about her childhood and growing up as a pioneer settler.
I think most God fearing pioneer families were probably pretty wholesome when compared to today’s family. They didn’t have as much to get into trouble with. I can watch the show in small doses. I don’t think I’d want to binge it. |

It was good TV. I watched it during the 90s Along with other shows from that time period. Much better than the gay cut your own dick off shit on tv today. My kids, all born after 2004 like these old shows better.

The Little House on the Prairie book was excellent. I didn't care for the tv show, since I was a teen male at the time.

My kids love it. We have read all the books together, and have visited the homestead in DeSmit, SD. It's good, wholesome entertainment with some lessons to be learned as well.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. For sure. Can’t beat the programming of today. Fags on every show. Cheating spouses. Sex and drugs. And all the rest of the damned debauchery seen on every show today. |

My parents used to watch reruns on TV Land or whatever cable channel back when I was high school.
My younger brother and I would always comment that every episode seemed to involve someone either dying horribly or some awful tragedy would just swop in and ruin everything. As wholesome as it seemed, some episodes got pretty dark. |

I could watch all the "older" TV shows that were b4 my time. My mom always watched little house so that probably explains why I watch it alot. Its a love/hate with my wife. She loves the show but hate how someone always dies.

Entire family could watch it. A little simplistic for the adults, but not unbearable, entertained the kids. Good life lessons. No rough language/gays/trannies/SJWs.

Loved that show as a kid.
On a side note. A helicopter team I worked on landed in the middle of the whole set, to stage for support of a meth lab raid nearby, like 20 yrs ago.  Didn't realize the whole town and farm were on probably 30 acres within eyesight of each other. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mary? MARY?!?!?!?!?! How about the mom or Nelli. You know Nelli would be a fun bang. I met the woman who played Nelli and we spent a wonderful 3 hours together. Alison Angrim and Dearly Departed Tours. I wouldn't mind being Dearly Departed after 3 hours with Alison Angrim. She wouldn't even have to wear the Nelli wig... As a side note, the real Little House/Laura Ingalls house/cabin in Kansas is being rebuilt, again, for the 3rd time. Its made from all the original parts, they've only replaced the roof 4 times and the walls 3 times.... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Airwolf was awesome! Until I watched it again a couple of years ago. I guess it really is only awesome to 8 year old me. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Couldn't stand the intro, so it was Airwolf, A-Team and Miamuh Vice instead for this kid. Airwolf was awesome! Until I watched it again a couple of years ago. I guess it really is only awesome to 8 year old me. Just finished season 4. Lots of recycled guns used by the bad guys. I think every episode had one bad guy carrying a single shot shotgun with a sling on it, and most of the AK's looked like they had 5.56 mags-were 5.56 AKs that common in the 80s? |

With EVERY building from the show. I believe it was private land rented from the studios. Michael Landon had not right to blow up anything. There are actually quite a few studio properties there. Charlie Manson hung out in that neighborhood. ETA: I guess most of it was burnt down in 2003. I was there in 2001 or there abouts. Found this. Little House on the Prairie Set |
