Little House on the Prairie - Netflix

Suzieque66 I thoroughly agree. I think 1883 is one of the best programmes I've ever seen. I've watched it twice and may well watch it again. Another good programme is Primeval, about a woman with her son travelling across the wild west. It's brilliant, very savage in places.

Watched both. American primeval was terrific. Love a good cowboy & Indian film/ drama.

Ah - I must take a look at 1883.

Have you watched the other with Helen mirren? 19 something or other. Now that was very good.

1923 lucky girl

'Anne with an E' was atrocious. It was an attempt to get as much woke material in as possible. Aunt Josephine a lesbian, Gilbert sailing to the West Indies (I think), and an extremely irritating Anne who cried and ran away every few minutes.

I loved the original 'Little House on the Prairie ' so I don't think I will watch the remake.

I watched that but couldn’t stand the American actress trying to do a Princess Diana type English accent. I’ve never been so irritated by someone in a film or tv series. Having watched it the wrong way round ( ie 1923 before 1883) I tried to watch it again after watching 1883 but again gave up.

I nearly never bothered, but glad I watched it.
The little girl who played Laura Ingalls was a cracking little actress I thought.

I know exactly what you mean. She was slightly irritating, but towards the end I really liked her.
Won’t say anymore in case other grans want to watch it.

I loved all the stories and also the TV version on Netflix.. They had more dancing and playing the fiddle and the children were older .. And the stories are not so Sugary Sweet as the Waltons ... that family were not normal at all ! All that Bible study and Holier Than Thou drove me mad !!!!

Sad that Michael Landon died so young.

Just saying earlier that Michael Landons daughter, plays Teeta in Yellowstone (cow girl).
She was also in ‘Animal kingdom’, another cracking show.,

I think he had a problem with alcoholism.

Not trying to derail a thread about Little House on the Prairie, but I really enjoyed the Woman of Substance remake. I thought Lenny Rush was brilliant and Brenda Blethyn went up in my estimation. Just had to say that!
Now back to LHOTP...

Very sad, he seemed such a nice person.
