It was pretty good Jason. I bought the entire DVD collection a few years back, which came with the pilot, and some extras, such as the follow up movies.

Seemed like Chuck was kind of an A-hole about Jack the dog, and making him cross the swift as hell river, and risk being swept away in an instant, instead of letting him ride in the wagon over. What a dick :D I think that sealed from the start, the way I would feel about the Chuckster for the rest of the series :D

A couple of those aunt’s that you saw in that brief scene, where they were saying goodbye to the family, looked pretty nice. Too bad they didn’t make it over to the series.

I was too young to remember the pilot movie, maybe it s on DVD or YouTube.

Yes, it looks like you can get it on youtube. I was surprised, because I know that previously (Though some time back now) all of the full episodes were purged from youtube due to copyright violations.

It’s worth checking out though. If you read the book titled: Little House On The Prairie, the second of Laura Ingalls books, it mirrors it pretty closely. Though the Pa in the books was a more sympathetic and likable character than the television version.

Here it is. Though it looks like there might be a second part to it.

Thanks so much. There is a Russian media site that shows vintage movies, since YouTube has copyright issues now. But I do not recall the name. I watched a couple of classics last year.

You’re welcome. I broke down and got the entire series on DVD, for $75, from Amazon a few years back, which included all the movies. Funny thing is, I’ve hardly watched it since then, lol.
