Damn Little House on the Prairie
OK, I admit it. I love Little House on the Prairie. I have read all of the books about two times. I think I've read some of them three times. I believe I have seen every single episode of the series, and I got excited the other day when I was in Hastings and saw that you could buy the different seasons on DVDs now (think Christmas and birthday presents!). I read a biography about Michael Landon when I was in middle school because I loved the show so much. I remember it used to come on at 5 p.m. on channel 39. I watched it every single day.
Today, I watch 4 hours (you read that right) of LHOTP. Channel 27 and the Hallmark channel run episodes at 2 o'clock. The Hallmark channel runs another episode at 3 p.m. Tonight, the Hallmark channel ran the two hour special where Albert gets diagnosed with a virulent blood disorder and is told that he is going to die. Not kidding when I say I cried at least three times during the special. That one as well as the one where the towns-people blow up the buildings of Walnut Grove are the two saddest episodes in the Little House series.
Anyway, just had to let everyone know. I love them!! Not ashamed - OK maybe a little bit embarrassed, but I love them!
Thanks for reading.

Way to stand up for your TV show. I'm the same way about some shows as well. When they're on, I have to stop and watch...Brady Bunch and Punky Brewster. :)
Hey Mario,
Back when I was little, real little, my sister would make me play Little House on the Prairie in our backyard treehouse. I always got mad because I wanted to be Charles but she made me be Albert. She would say, "You need a blood transfusion so lay down and act like your about to die!"
Sorry, but because of my sister I hated the dumb house on the stupid prairie! I'm glad it's good for you though

Mayito,
I am so glad I found your blog. Somehow Wade S. found mine and through his I found yours. I look forward to seeing what has been going on with you lately. What happened with your job? It is probably in your blog somewhere. Talk to you soon. Taylor
Ironically LaRae and I had a fight a while back about who got to keep our beloved copies of the LHP books. Turns out she won (they really were her's), but when I went back to GA a few weeks ago, Mom found a present for me in her closet that she had bought over a year ago and forgot about: my own copies of the books! Glad to see another lover of the books. I can't say I loved the show though...I'm a bit of a literary purist in that respect.
PS-Congrats on the new job. I read your last post and went to Bunco and ended up talking to Tina. I was confused about if you had plans for a job. Sounds like your resignation went way better than my last one with the clothing store last summer...
Actually, it wasn't a fight, because there was nothing to fight about. :-) I had a huge crush on Michael Landon. I even watched Highway to Heaven because he was on it, even though I was too young to really understand most of the issues on the show. We didn't play Little House when we were kids, but we did play Boxcar Children. Remember those books? Good times.
