*Little House on the Prairie*, based on the young adult book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, was one of the most beloved shows on television during its original run from 1974 to 1983. The series tells the story of the Ingalls family’s life on a Minnesota farm in the late 1800s. According to the official description, “*Little House* told the story of the Ingalls family’s life on a Minnesota farm in the late 1800s.”
If you’ve never seen *Little House on the Prairie*, be prepared for an intense portrayal of life during that era. The Ingalls family’s experiences capture the beauty of simple living, but also the harsh realities of the time. From infant deaths to natural disasters like tornadoes and fires, the show presents many harrowing moments.
Despite its occasional continuity issues, the series remains compelling thanks to the strong performances of Michael Landon, Karen Grassle, and Melissa Gilbert. Their portrayals make it easy for viewers to become invested in the characters, which helped the show stay popular through 200 episodes.
