Little House on the Prairie - Season 1 - Part 1 (1974)
The year was 1878, the rush for land was on, and among the many who sought a new life in the new land were the Ingalls; Charles, his young wife; Caroline, and their three daughters; Mary, Laura and Carrie. Packing their few belongings into a wagon, they said goodbye to friends and relatives and joined the trek westward that would lead them to their new home in Plum Creek, on the plains of Minnesota.
The Ingalls, pursuing the American dream, come to realise that they will have to fight for every inch of soil they turn...for every foot of ground they plant. Fight against disease, nature, local prejudices, and the rigours of a hostile environment.
The episodic adventures of the Ingalls family are based on the remembrances of the late Laura Ingalls Wilder, whose "Little House" books paint a realistic picture of pioneer life on the western fringes of the country over 100 years ago.

Was a fan of the show as a kid but couldn't remember how it all began. Fun watching it from the start.

I was never a huge fan of the show myself as a child but my 9 year old daughter discovered the books that led us to tracking this down, and it's been quite charming.
Lovely family viewing, great to find something for children these days that isn't full of scary bits, violence, swearing and sexual innuendos which most 'kids' flicks these days are peppered with. Even though I don't remember being a regular viewer of this as a child, it's amazing how you remember all the characters on seeing it again, particularly the very young Melissa Gilbert playing Laura. Great nostalgia value.
