LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE (Television Release, Episode 0, USA 1974)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì 

Little House on the Prairie—pilot movie, Episode 0—starts the long running television series Little House on the Prairie which runs from 1974-1983 (204 episodes, 9 seasons, and 4 specials). This nearly 2-hour introductory feature serves as a good, clean, family watch and deserves its inclusion in the family home video library. The introductory movie is followed by television episode 1 A Harvest of Friends.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. Lovable at first sight, this movie starts the long running television series Little House on the Prairie well. It’s a good, easy-on-the-mind watch providing low-key entertainment that never ages.
