I'm an 18 years old Italian boy who fell in love with "Little House on the Prairie" about one year ago. I casually discovered it by watching a TV channel called "Paramount Network" and I liked it so much that then I decided to buy every DVD of every season of it. Each day, as soon as I come back from school, I watch a new episode while eating lunch. It makes me feel better, in many ways. Some stories make me burst into laughter. Others drive me to reflect upon very serious and important topics such as society, moral values, nature worth, friendship, family, work, faith etc. Most of them, anyway, often move me so deeply to reduce me to tears, but those tears are not tears of sadness, of melancholy, but tears of joy: it's as if the wonderful message of empathy and love Michael Landon wanted to convey came straightaway to my soul, to my heart. It gives me hope in humanity, because it always reminds me that man can be good, just and happy too, if he truly believes in it. Maybe I'm too sensitive, but I don't consider it as an handicap, instead I think a true man should be both strong and sensitive, and the character of Charles Ingalls is an outstanding example of this idea.

I was an adult. And felt the same. But my Mom was/is still my Muse. Almost 92. Sharp as a tac. Walks every day. So I was raised to be that way. Born in 1929, Nov 28th, Thanksgiving day. She was pretty much raised that way. The depression. Stock Market crash. Great stories too. Good lessons for every generation. Our son grew up on it also.

She was the cutest girl-star ever. Her natural cuteness was nicely balanced by her scrappiness. It made her SO intensely likable. She seems to have not lost an ounce of charm. I love this woman.

Just hearing the theme song instantly brings me back to those innocent days before the internet and 1,000 TV channels.

Little House is still my all time favorite show. Growing up I wanted Charles & Caroline to be my parents, and I still think they are one of the best examples of a loving marriage w/ good parenting ever on the silver screen... they weren't perfect, but pretty darn close.

I am 67 years old now and am so glad my daughter and I have these good memories of days gone by.

a Well, don’t be too disappointed. Melissa Gilbert actually wouldn’t speak to Michael Landon for years, between the time when he had his affair with his new wife and left his old wife, and his death. When she realized that he didn’t have much time left because of cancer, she went to his bedside and told him she forgave him. :’( :’)

I'm 33 years old, a 90's baby, and Little House on the Prairie only brings back the good memories of the good times growing up! I still watch it if it's on and it taught me so much! Shows like it don't exist anymore!

Melissa looks great. That was one of my favorite tv shows growing up.

I’m 18 years old and have grown up watching Little House On The Prairie and I can honestly say the show has also made me who I am today. This show has touched me in so many ways. I just finished watching the movie special where everyone had to leave Walnut Grove due to the Government. They blew up their own town so the government wouldn’t be prosperous off of what they built up for generations since they were forced to leave. I’ve never cried harder due to a show. It was like my childhood was ripped out of my chest. Thank you, Michael Landon. Thank you, Melissa Gilbert.

I'm 75 and still watching Little House on the Prairie. It gives you a peace and laughter which there is just to little of in this technical world we live in now.

The youngest of seven in my family, grew up watching this show, I still watch reruns when I find them. None of my siblings or friends watched. I realize now how the values taught stuck with me throughout my life. I'll take this show over most any other. Thanks to Michael Landon and the rest of the cast for the laughter, tears, and joy and love.

She’s still adorable and so genuine. I wish they made wholesome shows like that today.

As children in the 1970s we used to re-enact scenes from the show, including running down a grassy slope ! I actually had a childhood 'friend' who looked and behaved exactly like Nellie Olsen ! Her parents and younger brother's personalities all matched those of Nellie's also, the family dynamics were spot on !! If you ever contact or see Melissa, say Hi from me ! 🙅‍♀️💕

Absolutely 💯. My wife's favorite show. I saw that same innocence when I met her.

I'm one of those who just started watching the episodes again...it was my favorite show as a kid in the 70s. There is absolutely no modern show like it that stirs emotional response, charm, safe for kids to watch, teaches the lessons of having a strong moral code & adds lightheartedness & humor. It proudly showed God of the Universe being a constant anchor of the character's life or a story of redemption for others. It's the time of neighbors helping neighbors not just once a year but all the time. We so need that moral code now. I hope younger people watch the show.

I grew up watching this with my mom and I'm so glad too see Melissa Gilbert is still just as much of a icon. Also She looks amazing!

What a Beautiful interview. I grew up on "Walnut Grove" Thank you Michael Landon. Thank you Melissa.

Watched Little House and the Waltons as a kid when both shows were staples in the mid-70s. Lots of lessons and truths learned. Always have been a history buff and still enjoy watching both shows with my own family. I hope the tradition lives on!

I was OBSESSED with that show as a kid. I wore my hair in braids whenever possible and told people my name was Laura. My friends and I would play "Little House on the Prairie" in our backyards. Good memories of simpler times.

I was just thinking about Melissa today and Little House on the Prairie. I grew up with this show and I'm about her age. I'm sure she looks back at her life and is astonished by her time working on this show and the people she was fortunate to know, especially Michael Landon. What a blessing that must have been! She's right about people wanting to bring back a more, simple life. There's something to be said for simplicity. Living close to nature, being with family, laughing and loving each other is the best that life offers us. I hope she's happy with her life and that she has great things going for her. She's brought joy in my youth for sure! Best to you and your family, Melissa! I hope to be a grandma one of these days.

Was always secretly in love with her tomboy look , good heart and bold attitude as a kid. Shes still a gem it seems.
