‘Little House On The Prairie’ Reboot In The Works By Anonymous Content, Paramount TV
Deadline ^ | December 17, 2020 | Denise Petski

A new version of the Little House on the Prairie is in the works for television.

Anonymous Content, Paramount Television, and Friendly Family Productions are developing a one-hour dramatic series adaptation of Little House on the Prairie based on the bestselling novels by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Anonymous Content and Paramount Television Studios will serve as co-studios on the project.

Little House on the Prairie, based on Wilder’s novels, aired for nine seasons on NBC From September 1974 to May 1982. Starring Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert, Karen Grassle, and Melissa Sue Anderson, the historical Western drama revolved around a family living on a farm in Plum Creek near Walnut Grove, Minnesota, in the late 1800s. The series aired with new title Little House: A New Beginning during the 1982-83 television season, following the exit of Landon and Grassle.

Former NBC executive Ed Friendly acquired the film and television rights to Wilder’s novels from Roger Lea MacBride and recruited Blanche Hanalis to write the teleplay for a two-hour pilot. Friendly asked Landon to direct the pilot; he agreed on the condition that he could also play lead character Charles Ingalls.

Peacock announced earlier this week that all nine seasons of the original series would be available for streaming on the service.

Yeah, the heterosexual father will probably get eaten by a bear in the pilot and then an indigenous transexual in a polyamourous relationship with a beaver and a mountain goat will step in to raise the children “wisely”.

Poor Ma Ingalls will probably be turning tricks for Nelly Olsen’s dad.
why these awful people can’t leave well enough alone!

At least Michael Landon and Merlin Olsen don’t have to see this.

And just as an additional kick to us, when Rose is born, they'll make her a socialist-spouting Marxist.

Oh, good. Another “re-imagined” show where they will shoe-horn modern (liberal) attitudes into 19th century character’s thoughts and utterances.

My favorite television series when I was young was Dukes of Hazzard. I can’t imagine what they would do to a resurrected series. Uncle Jesse would have to preach graciously about the glory of diversity, gayness, trannies, dope dispensaries, illegals, etc. Daisy would be confronted with an abortion. Sheriff Roscoe would have to constantly repent for police behavior. The General Lee would be a Prius with a rainbow on the roof.

LOL Many years ago an Air Force buddy of mine termed it “Little Fairy on the Prairie.”

Everyone will be homosexual Puerto Ricans and blacks. They’ll fight each other and talk voting each other off the island.

Yup. When I first saw that it was on Paramount, I thought “Wow, now we’ll find out just how gay things were in the 1800’s in Minnesota!”.

Didn’t they have Willie Nelson as the father in the theatrical reboot?

This will probably go over as well as the “Roseanne” reboot.

Freaks, transgenders, pedophiles and queers... a fun filled episode of debauchery, bondage, hedonism and frolicking incest.

The Little House on Epstein Island. With first season special guest SCOTUS Justice John Roberts and Hillary Clinton as the Gimp’s.

Reminds me of the “Beauty and the Beast” remake I glimpsed that had about 1/3 of the town in 18th century Europe being Black. Who knew?

The TV version didn't much resemble the books.
Maybe they make Little House on the Prairie and we can see how crazy Pa truly was...

The kids will be removed from their ‘toxic’ family life, be sent to reeducation camps, and come out as transsexuals who identify as black, and spend the rest of their lives angry at their parents for indoctrinating them with ‘harmful’ moral values-

The ‘newly freed’ angry McAngerson (Thanks tolerance sucks rocks for the suggestion) kids will vent their anger by burning down the town, and beating the stuffings out of anyone that isn’t black or Transsexual, while lecturing everyone about tolerance and loving one another

Gosh, can’t wait

Anyone give betting odds yet that John Boy will be gay?

Grandpa Walton sure was, at least the actor that played him.
