I never watched this when I was young because we didn't watch much tv. However, I did read a lot, and the Little House books were some of my favorites. So, all these years later, to see this television show that is supposed to represent the books that are sweet, touching and educational, I was highly disappointed.The tv show does not follow the books. The events are not accurate. The personalities are not truthful. My kids and I had the privilege of visiting all the locations the Ingalls family lived. What a trip! Seeing Pa's fiddle was truly the highlight. On the tour of Laura's final home, someone asked about the tv show and how accurate it was. The tour guide stated it's 90% inaccurate.To have a show like this is fine, but it should not have been titled after a non-fiction book and quickly made into a ficticious tv show.You are far better off going right to the source and reading the wonderful books. Skip the hollywood version.
