I love everything Little House on the Prairie -- the books, the show, the recipes, the clothing. My kids love watching Little House in the Prairie, too. My husband has given me almost the entire series on DVD and over the last few years we have watched some episodes here and there. Yesterday, however, we watched about 8 shows. That is a lot of TV for people who hardly ever watch any.
The kids are officially hooked on the show. I really enjoy watching the episodes and discussing them with the kids. The show does a great job brining up difficult subjects like mental illness and homelessness and putting a kid-friendly spin on them. The kids also ask a lot of questions about that historical period. Nati is in love with bonnets. I had to get her one for her birthday.
We hardly ever watch TV but yesterday that is all we did for most of the day. If TV were always this good, I would have a hard time limiting the kids to only a few hours per week. But nowadays, what is out there that is good? PBS and PBS Kids? That's about it.
We'll stick with our Little House on the Prairie for now. I might even add Family Ties and the Brady Bunch. I'm just afraid if I do that, we will spend our entire summer watching those shows. :)
TTYL.
