Who still watches little House on the prairie?

I never watched it, but I dated a girl in college who's family treated it as appointment TV.

You know that scene in Catch Me if You Can where Martin Sheen's family runs to watch Mitch Miller on TV and Leo gets a sense of how weird they are? That was me realizing that my girlfriend's family was obsessed with Little House.

Still better than most shows now, imho.

Any good show will be better than most shows, across all time frames of television. Good shows are rare enough; people tend to forget about the bad ones of any era but the current one.

I watch Little House on the Prairie and also The Waltons.

They were regulars for us growing up as well. If I see them on TV, I'll usually stop and watch. My Mom has LHOTP as a series on DVD.

I read all of the Little House on the Prairie Books when I was younger as well.

Did in the past, but 2020 is depressing enough. Little House is great show, but it can be pretty depressing.IMO

My wife loves Little House on the Prairie. And The Waltons, Andy Griffith and a bunch of other old school shows. I tell her it's odd behavior for her demographic and they're gonna come take her card away eventually. She pretends not to hear me as she turns on Downton Abbey or Outlander.

I sat and listened to the car guy with the trivia stories and Laura Ingalls' daughter ended up being a bigger deal than her, a big time libertarian heavyweight who is well known in their historical circles.

She was also sketchy with the truth in some of her writings.

Landon had some darn good shows: from Bonanza, to LHOTP, and Highway To Heaven

One of my older sisters read the books and got excited every time Little House! came on.

I catch bits and pieces from time to time, but never got that excited about it. Like someone else said, Little House and the Waltons remind me of being a toddler, but other than that they're a tad maudlin for my tastes.
