The best thing ever about this series was a spoof TV Guide listing in (I think) National Lampoon magazine...

That's another way of saying if there's a canvas, or score page, or statue, or film negative somewhere, it doesn't matter how bad the thing is, because it still exists, someone will try and resurrect the thing and it will outlast all the people who tried to bury it once and for all in the first place.

Sad, because with so much better stuff in need of return, we get this, but this was a popular show in its day and there were a lot of people who liked Michael Landon in both this and Bonanza (though god only knows why since both he and the shows couldn't be more boring). Now, the Laura Ingalls Wilder books have their charm, but you can't confuse them with this cookie-cutter, upright moral lesson at the end of every episode kind of shtick. People still go for this stuff though, look how long Touched By An Angel was on the air.
