We have so enjoyed watching Season 1 and now we are in the middle of Season 2 of Little House on the Prairie. I think I pretty much cry through every episode. I love the relationships, the simple living (as in uncluttered because it certainly isn't easy!), the morals, the realness. It's just wholesome viewing for our family. It's so hard to find shows or movies that we can all watch together, and this is definitely one of them. All of my kids love it and my husband and I smile, wink, and get teary as we watch Ma and Pa weather the joys and the storms of raising a family.
And Michael Landon Jr. is the director for these wonderful movies based on the book series by Janette Oke. I read these when I was in high school and loved them so much. To now watch them on DVD is a treasure and is just wonderful and heart-warming. My husband and I put the whole series in our Netflix queue and he and I spent the early part of this summer watching each one in the evening after the children were in bed...we will definitely be buying these. Check them out!
Thank you Lord for even using things like movies or TV shows to tap into our hearts and show us greater realities about You. You speak in creative and powerful ways...help me to look and listen for You in all that I watch and view.

Oh! Wow! I had no idea that the Jeanette Oke books had been made into movies! I can't wait to see them!!! (enjoy your blog by the way!)
I LOVE your blog & have so enjoyed slowly going through it for the last several months---though I've still got a long way to go:)
Just last night I asked one of our children(6yr old daughter)what her favorite TV show was, she listed 3 right off---Daniel Boone, Little House on the Prairie, & Andy Griffith! There's something about those old shows & the simple times & the wonderful morals that draw us in. We so enjoy watching them as a family. How sad that there's nothing even close to it these days. I guess that's what makes us so thankful for the "old days" that come to life through those series from long ago.
Your blog is such a blessing!
