That show started basically when I was born. I remember it was “must watch” in the house.
No way would a show like “Little House” get made today, at least by a major network.
It featured:
*Strong faith in God.
*Strong father who was the head of the family. Not a buffoon or punchline like “the father” typically is cast as in most shows and ads.
*Strong family. The wife was nails.
*Patriotic.
*Strong friends.
*Strong community that all attended church together every Sunday.
IOW, pretty much the >>EXACT OPPOSITE<< of what’s “normal” today.
“No way would a show like “Little House” get made today, at least by a major network.”
Correct, it would never happen.
Yeah, I watched it religiously as a kid when it was on in prime time. When they did one of the follow up tv movies where they blew up the town, I was in tears. :-(
They couldn’t do “The Waltons” today, either.
I remember it well.
Better days. Better ways. Better people, too.
