On September 11, 1974 the premiere of Little House on the Prairie captivated audiences worldwide. This beloved series brought Laura Ingalls Wilder’s written stories to life, forever changing the lives of the cast, crew, and fans.

Before we delve into the episode, we address the recent happenings with the recent fan events in Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The Cast of Little House appreciates the love and support from Bonnetheads everywhere who have been through a difficult time this past week. We appreciate you and promise that 2025 will be a great year for Little House events!

And did you see the Cozi TV documentary?! It was great! You can catch it again on 9/25.
Did you see the Little House on the Prairie Magazine?! It is out now!


And then, we delve into the first episode of Little House, aired exactly 50 years ago-- "A Harvest of Friends". Find out our impressions of how this episode introduced the themes, characters and world of Little House to the public, and find out where the heck Alison and Dean were the day it premiered! Did viewers believe the set was real? What was the initial response of the TV critics? And let's face it...not only was Sept. 11th 1974 the premiere of Little House, it was also the premiere of Shirtless Pa, rockin' some good ol' broken ribs!
