I have watched this show as long as I can remember and read the books I wish I could get more of the books to read … This is my favorite show that come’s on everyday I can watch them over and over and never get tired of reading them …
I had never really cared for Little House on the Prairie, until a few weeks ago when I started watching the reruns on Cozi. And now? I find myself pining for the beautiful simplicity of life in Walnut Grove. I’m in my forties, and I’m going to be reading the Little House books for the first time sometime soon. Am looking forward to it. Great website!! Thanks for creating it 🙂

I’ve been a fan of this program since it first started, when we lived in Florida they used to play repeats of this show and the Waltons all through the year, I would watch them over and over again. When my mum was alive she loved to watch Little House on the Prairie but it would always make her cry. I just wish they would play repeats of both shows in England instead of some of the rubbish the play now.
This may sound strange, but when my daddy died I was very numb and unable to cry. Being a single father, we had a close relationship. Even as adults he was my best friend, and his sudden death was very hard on me. Some in my situation may opt for therapy, but I watched Little House on the prairie. This show helped me to grieve. Being able to cry for the characters turned into crying for my own loss. It was a purging of emotions that was deeply needed at a time when I was too lost to know how to grieve for my loss. I believe God provides us what we need, when we need it & I’m truly grateful. I’ll never be able to thank Laura for the great healing her story gave me, but I wanted to share my story w/people who have the same kind of love for the Little House on the prairie as I do.
The best family show ever made. I’ve read every book in the series. I love it because of the hard work they did and the love they had for each other. If more families were like that these days the world just might be a little bit better place to live in. 😊
Totally agree with you Thomas, if only as you said the world would be a better place.
