I loved this series. I had read all of the "Little House" books and was so
thrilled when they announced that they were making a television series based on
the books. Normally, I hate film adaptations of beloved books, but for some
reason, it didn't bother me with this show. Probably because it was so well
done.
I'm different from most people, my favorite shows were not always
the tearjerkers. One of my favorites was the one where Laura thought she had
found gold in the stream and she has this hysterical dream where Nellie, in
rags, brings the teacher a brown, rotten apple. The teacher is looking at the
apple, when Laura, dressed in a beautiful white dress, shows up with a basket of
red, shiny apples. The teacher takes one look at the basket and tosses Nellie's
apple over her shoulder. Cracks me up!
