Critics, per Wikipedia
The New York Times television critic John J. O'Connor gave the pilot film mixed reviews but also noted that it "contained enough family warmth and struggle to make The Waltons look like a pack of pampered snobs", noting that the possibility of a weekly series did have promise. The series itself, however, did not start off with positive reviews. Landon biographer Marsha Daly said, "It was as if they resented its simple, sweet characters, and preferred the trash-with-flash type shows then making in-roads on television." Daly specifically notes a review by Richard Schidel of Time in which he said that Landon looked "as if he just stepped out of a unisex beauty salon on the Strip rather than…

neutral · AI labelView post →Has Megyn ever watched an old episode of Little House on the Prairie?? It was pretty "woke" back then, teaching lessons of inclusion and kindness. Heck, the character of Mary Ingalls went blind, and the show captured how she overcame that disability.

They better listen to her, just look at what she's done to her own career!! 😂

My wife is huge fan of media that takes place in the 1800s, and while watching shows like Little House on the Prairie, Dr. Quinn, or the various Yellowstone prequels, I started thinking about living in those times, and specifically, living with ADHD. I don't know if this is necessary but: I'm not trying to insult or shame here. We all know that we have challenges, and whatever comes after this, or possibly in the comments, is just assumptions on what these challenges…

positive · AI labelView post →I'm sure I would've ignored Netflix's LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE adaptation— until the usual gang of idiots condemned it as "woke." Now, I will certainly check it out. CBS SUNDAY MORNING did a nice behind-the-scenes piece today. The series debuts July 9. youtu.be/CHH_hYH4wms?... #TVSky

I remember the infectious diseases that beset the family and community, killing or disabling children and young people regularly. Is this what the Trump administration wants for its citizens?

I’m having trouble finding anything good to watch, much less binge. I’m currently enjoying Sugar on AppleTV, and House of the Dragon on HBO, but they are both weekly releases. I tried The Brothers Sun and Little House on the Prairie on Netflix, and they are a bunch of garbage. (I’m sure I’ll get lots of suggestions I’ve seen, but I don’t see a way around that.)…

neutral · AI labelView post →Little House On the Prairie is/was an amazing TV show! It had a 9 year run in the 70's thanks, not only to the great acting & producing of Michael Landon, but also because of the great stories that espoused, wait for it Megyn Kelly, DEI values! Is that WOKE-IFIED enuf for you, you FASCIST BIOTCH!
positive · AI labelView post →We’re halfway through the pilot for ‘Little House on the Prairie’ (1974 TV series) and it is excessively alarming as to how bad we’ve gotten at creating television. This isn’t perfect by any means but it’s running rings around a 9-figure show with total CGI assist.
positive · AI labelView post →No hate, i remember my mom loved that show. I just feel that Little House on the Prairie (derogatory) meets New Age "spirituality" (derogatory) meets Fabio (supportive).

Interestingly, turns out that Ed Friendly--whose son Trip is EP'ing the new Netflix version-- left the NBC show over "creative differences." variety.com/2003/scene/m...
neutral · AI labelView post →For the record: we only shot one pilot. And in our defense, we were trying to make a cool, Spielbergian show while Fox president Kevin Reilly was in the press saying the show was "Little House on the Prairie in dinosaur times." But you're not wrong: the show that aired was nobody's finest hour!

neutral · AI labelView post →I remain convinced that the 1970s TV show “Little House on the Prairie” is a big source of these ridiculous fantasies because that ubiquitous cartoon image of the perfect Tradwife is so clearly based on loose-haired Melissa Gilbert in some 1970s version of prairie chic
negative · AI labelView post →I am giving the first episode of Little House on the Prairie a try. I am annoyed that Little House in the Big Woods always gets skipped, because it was my favorite. Little House on the Prairie was my least favorite of the series.
neutral · AI labelView post →Netflix's new Little House on the Prairie adaptation is...fine? Full of wholesome family vibes and a great debut for the young actress who plays Laura, but it's a show that's very determined not to rock the boat in any real way. My review at @ebertvoices.bsky.social:
neutral · AI labelView post →If anyone else is watching the new Little House on the Prairie... I'm very distracted by what appears to be the dominant "prairie" plant in many scenes– – white sweet clover (melilotus albus), which is invasive in North America. (The show is filmed in Manitoba.) 🌿
