I hadn’t thought about Little House on the Prairie since I was about 7 or 8 years old, but noticed it was being run on some over-the-air local station recently. I don’t know why, but those stories were very popular in the mid to late 1970s. In addition to Little House, we had The Waltons, Grizzly Adams, and movies like Across The Great Divide. I don’t know what the attraction was, but even living in the rural suburbs, it seemed like the shows took place a million years ago to my young mind.

Perhaps because it was the name of a child on the popular TV show "The Waltons" from 1971-1981?
