Lark Rise to Candleford is a recent British version of Little House on the Prairie, worth a watch.

Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie

No way would those shows survive today's producers.

Bonanza would have a gay cowboy son introduced and the general store in Little House would be run by persecuted lesbian couple and their adopted children that the evil backwards Ingles made fun of showing their cruelty.

A remake of “Little House On The Prairie” could be good and well done if they stayed true to the books and true to the time period, the history, the actual dress and housing during that time and their daily lives; showing just how hard and tenuous life was back then for those prairie pioneers. IMO, the first year or two of the original series did a fairly good job but then it went all smaltzy and preachy and quite frankly way too PC.
