WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
In
the late 1870’s homesteader
Charles Ingalls (Landon) and his
family move to a small farm in
Walnut Grove, Plum Creek in
Minnesota in order to make a new
life for themselves.
SO
IS IT ANY GOOD?
One
of the best loved shows of the seventies, Little House on the Prairie is
set from the same mould as that other family TV classic The Waltons and
whilst it is set out west it is not a Western, more concerned with daily
life and living and growing than anything else. Besides Landon’s head
of the household Charles the other main characters were his wife
Caroline (Karen Grassle) and their three daughters Mary (Melissa Sue
Anderson), Laura (Melissa Gilbert) and youngest Carrie (played
alternately by identical twins Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush). The
Ingalls worked hard to integrate themselves into Walnut Grove and
quickly made friends with Nels Oleson (owner of the general store), Mill
owner Lars Hanson and cuddly Mr Edwards (Victor French) who ran a nearby
farm.
Little
House is a full on nostalgia blast and whilst at times the show could be
overly sentimental it’s always enjoyable and the nice pricing of these
box sets make catching up with the Ingall’s a very attractive
proposition.
