What I tried in vain to find, Heather and all of you, was a photo of Pa sans shirt. Believe me, I tried. Hard. But none were available, and I think this is because, in the end, M. Landon was a Classy Guy, and those upholding his memory on the internet and elsewhere aren’t so much interested in perpetuating the memory of his hotness. Not so much, anyway.

Nathaniel and I just read this Very Long Post [ 😉 ] and we both laughed out loud quite a bit when we got to the bottom and read your confession, and then we laughed even harder when we saw the obligatory picture of the hottie posted at the end… 😉Heather H.

I’m totally on board here (though Tracey will have to weigh in on the bit about whether Landon’s hot).This show is just good television–period. About the only TV show from my youth that I’m not ashamed to own up to watching.

Wow, that’s weird (about Pa) but I think you’re right. Weird.

When I was little I lived in the country outside of Sacramento. My fields looked like Laura’s and up the road from my house was a honest to God one-room schoolhouse. I begged and begged to go there and instead my parents carted me off to school in a town 20 miles away. I remember my mom asking me why I wanted to go there so badly — and it was because it was just like Laura’s school. I’ll bet I read those books at least 100 times each. My God-daughter is reading them now (think she’ll let me borrow them?). I’m so glad another generation is loving them too.

Oh wow, WE got Season One a couple months ago! It was fun to watch something ... um, a little more tolerable than Caillou ... with the kids.We only watched about 3-4 episodes. If Laura and Mary were not VERY prevalent in an episode, my girls weren't interested.We have to ressurect that, actually.Good post as always!

So unexpected – so funny, because of course you are so right! We listened to Little House on the way to school this very morning. I’m so glad my children love it the way we did growing up. Oh – Our special Monday night viewing treat was a small bowl of pretzels. Happy monday!

You did it, and you did it well, my friend. I am smiling. And I think you are right about Michael Landon.

So I’m weeping recalling that awful moment when I truly thought that Jack was going to die (and at ten years old, I thought my heart would break if Jack really did have to be shot) and then you throw the grenade…Pa is HOT. On behalf of all of us who watched and swooned and knew not why- thanks for laying it out there.
