I absolutely LOVE this show. I was always interested in this time period, wishing I grew up during those times. I fell in love with the show at 10 years old, and it made me try to read the books. I kind of forgot about it over the past few years, but I am watching it again and fell in love with it once more. It can be a bit repetitive at times, and some of the episodes are dark, (My Ellen, season 4. Sylvia, season 7. Rage, season 9. And the story of Mr. Edwards's family breaking up) I was always sad at the number of people that died, but it shows how hard times were back then. I never understood why the Ingalls left in season 9, but I enjoy it still. This show makes me feel a wonderful sensation I can't describe. It has amazing characters you will fall in love with, and unforgettable humor. It is an amazing family friendly show that I look forward to watching as a family every night. It has a good impact on my life, and I love reminiscing and laughing about it with friends and family. Every time I hear the theme song, I get so happy. Such an amazing show. No re-boots or re-dos will EVER be able to be as great as this show. I wish they could still make stuff like this, but they can't. At least I'll always have this show to watch on DVD and re-runs.
