I liked it too. Call me square but I also really liked Little House On the Prairie.

The first few years of Little House On The Prairie were really good, but in the final years it jumped the shark much harder than even Happy Days did. It had to have the most miserable series finale of any TV show, but by that time almost nobody was watching anyway.

Do you remember the final episode? The townsfolk blew up all the buildings in Walnut Creek with dynamite to prevent an eeeeevil railroad baron from profiting after he somehow stole the deed to their entire town. Utterly ludicrous.

The footage of the destruction of Walnut Creek by rigging the whole town to blow was used in the series premiere of Knight Rider with KITT the black Pontiac Firebird fishtailing through the dirt outside of Olsen’s general store as Walnut Creek exploded into fireballs and wooden planks flew through the air like popsicle sticks on fire.

Hardly a fitting end to Little House On The Prairie, but that’s how they did it.

I read those books to my kids when they were little.

We watched it and liked it, yeah she was the ‘bitter’ person with her nose stuck in the air person, who because they were wealthier than the rest of the town let every one know it.

We watch RFDTV for the older family friendly shows, especially Country’s Family Reunion, and Larry’s Dinner, Vincent and Daily. Jean Sheppard, Grand Ole Opry star of Famer is in a wheel chair now and looking REAL BAD. She is 82 looking 98 now. Don’t know why she is in the wheel chair unless she broke a hip. She’d been having trouble standing for some while now.

“... I also really liked Little House On the Prairie.”

Never failed to teach a lesson...or bring a tear.
