Little House on the Prairie - Netflix

Well I am watching 1883 and believe me it is nothing like Little House on Prairie ... its for Adults .. I love it ... its on Netflix ..

Only watched the first episode, beautifully filmed, gorgeous soft golden light, bit like a 'Hallmark Movie' - very soothing. The little girls, the landscape, the dog!
Just my cup of tea, I've fallen for it.

Binged watched it, much better than I thought it would be 😊

It will be interesting to see how they deal with the indigenous people bits. I bought a boxed set of all the books to read out loud to my DGD - I had to do quite a bit of editing!

Hubby is a big fan of the original, so we have been watching the current reruns.

We started watching the new version of All Creatures and did not like it at first, but now prefer it. Mrs Hall is more of a central character.

I will try. I read the books recently and loved them. I remember the original TV version. But I was not a great fan.

The books are not sacharine or sentimental. I don't think the original series did them justice.
I don't think you could televise Ma's feelings about the Native Americans without making her an unsympathetic character.
The books are fascinating, very readable.

Never saw the original but it sounds a bit saccharine to me.

Yes it certainly was but I loved it as a kid.

I don't think I shall watch it because it could never live up to the original. Michael Landon was my teenage crush. I loved him in Little House and as Little Joe in Bonanza.

Did you know Michael Landons daughter was in Yellow Stone (Teeta) female cowgirl?
Great watch if you haven’t seen it.

I’d love a remake if The Waltons 😳

Well ... its different ... Pa plays an awful lot of tunes and they do lots of dancing ..and they do keep kissing which annoyed me , they are acting like teenagers ... it wasn't for me ..

Shysal... ditto

We'll see. I have been watching re runs of Lottle House and The Waltons on Great TV channel . Still love them.

An enjoyable light murder mystery series on Netflix is ‘Summer 36’ it’s French but dubbed.Set in the South of France at a posh hotel where the wealthy congregate, but also the poor come to town for the beach, and they stay in a boarding house.
Their two worlds collide, there are murders and it’s all very Agatha Christie.Lovely period detail and with a hint at what’s coming down the line from the Germans.

Shysal, Ditto! And I loved that piebald (sp?!) horse he used to ride too!😚

It was.

I gave up on it. On that long trail west they were all so remarkably clean and perfect.

I saw this Metro review, apparently this version is more sympathetic to the Osage people whereas the original series and books weren’t.

When I re-read the books I was surprised how much information there was on preserving the meat and fruit and vegetables to get them through the Winter.

The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie were staples on our TV back in the day. Lovely heartwarming stories and the actors who played the main characters became so familiar to us over time. Can’t imagine that a remake will be able to replace that but a new generation will probs enjoy it.

The remake of 'A Woman of Substance' was atrocious. I watched the first episode and gave up. Made to allow for all of he woke agendas including a midget brother. WHAT??!!!!

Whatever could have led Brenda Blethyn to get involved with such dross?

P.S. I was probably totally spoiled as just a few months before I had watched the original series with Deborah Kerr, Liam Neeson and Jenny Seagrove - absolutely fabulous.

I thought I wouldn’t like the remake of All Creatures Great and Small, but I have loved it! I’ll definitely look out for Little House on the Prairie remake as I loved all the books and remember the original tv series.

I was obsessed with the original. I read all the books as well! I think I'll have to give the remake a look to see what it's like. I imagine it will be a hot topic when I next have a get-together with my friends of the same age!

This version is supposed to be nearer to the original books. I read the BBC article quoted by SD and the original TV programmes were definitely much darker. Have a read.

I won't watch it either it would spoil all my lovely memories of the original.

People misremember the original Little House tv programmes. They were much darker than our memories now tell us. www.bbc.co.uk/culture/article/20260701-the-original-tv-little-house-on-the-prairie-was-a-true-american-horror-story

My DDs loved the books and the show and they’ll be watching the new version. My favourite book was The Long Winter, I got it out of the library so many times!
