Little House On The Prairie



40 years!  Can you believe it! It’s been 40 years since Little House On The Prairie premiered on TV!  How time flies!
 
Straight off his stint as Little Joe Cartwright in Bonanza, Michael Landon starred as Pa Ingalls in the TV adaptation of the much beloved novel.

As producer, director and writer (of many of the episodes) Michael brought back wholesome, family-oriented entertainment to TV.  Little House had a huge following and even today the TV series is replayed in reruns all over the world.

Exactly how did it get started?  The Pilot movie is included in this Blu-ray Collection of the entire First Season of remastered episodes.

Five discs make up the collection that includes the Pilot movie when the Ingalls first moved to Walnut Grove.  All the drama, humor and family togetherness are present, as are several Special Features.

Included with the Pilot and First Season episodes are featurettes on the cast screen tests, a 40th Anniversary Documentary and much more, all courtesy of Lionsgate.
