The show is a full-colour version of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s series of Little House books. Nearly 10 years after iCarly aired its finale in 2012, Cosgrove, now 30, and some of her costars revived the series with Paramount+ for three seasons. And while there's no plans for a Drake & Josh reunion anytime soon, Cosgrove still keeps up with her costars. In 2023, she told PEOPLE that she and Josh Peck have talked about working together and even possibly playing siblings again in the future. The Greenbush sisters were first seen on Little House on the Prairie at the age of four. Lindsay has not actively appeared on-screen much since her role in the TV series, Butterfly, in 1983.

Dean Butler portrayed the character Almanzo Wilder, who later married Laura. Almanzo, lovingly called "Manly" by Laura, also attracted the attention of Nellie Oleson and other young ladies in Walnut Grove.

Rachel Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush as Carrie Ingalls

Eventually, Mary confronts Chris with her suspicions and tells him he must leave, only to find out later it was a misunderstanding. After the death of his father, Joseph Strokes, the mixed-race son of a Sioux Indian and a white woman, moves to Walnut Grove. However, the old man rejects Joseph because he feels angry and ashamed that his daughter married an Indian. After Joseph gets attacked by bullies in an effort to keep him out of school, his grandfather has a change of heart and shows up at the school to defend Joseph's attendance and asks that his true (native) name be used. The following is a list of episodes for the television show Little House on the Prairie, an American Western drama about a family living on a farm in Walnut Grove, Minnesota from the 1870s to the 1890s.

As for why generations of fans have continued to watch the show long after its 200-plus episodes across nine seasons came to an end in 1983, Grassle had a thought. Some of the episodes written by Michael Landon were recycled storylines from ones that he had written for Bonanza. Butler has appeared in multiple TV shows, including The New Gidget as Jeff 'Moondoggie' Griffin and Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Hank Summers, Buffy's dad. On stage, he starred as Rapunzel's Prince in the original Broadway production of Into the Woods.
He later returned to guest roles, including ER, Hill Street Blues and three episodes of Highway to Heaven, which reunited him with Landon. His final TV credit was in a 2011 episode of the Kelsey Grammer series, Boss. Willie graduates and his mother expects him to go on to college, but Willie has fallen in love with his girlfriend Rachel Brown, and wants to marry and take over the running of the family's restaurant. Mrs. Oleson opposes his plans and cruelly insults Rachel, and when Willie stands up to his mother and defends Rachel against her, she vows not to show up at the wedding. In the event, she does go, but theatrically dressed in black funeral clothes. Nels later reminds Harriet that his mother similarly opposed their marriage, and he says he has never regretted it.
Milo Stavropoulis is a former Greek champion wrestler forced to become a jobber in order to pay for his ailing wife Anna's continued medical treatment. His boss, an unscrupulous professional wrestling promoter persuades Jonathan to compete for a large money prize in his shady wrestling competition in Mankato, duping him into facing the current champion Hans. After Jonathan wins a rigged preliminary bout, many of the residents of Walnut Grove bet on Jonathan to win the final, including Mrs. Oleson who risks the money entrusted to her as treasurer for the church. However, this final match strains elderly Milo's heart, and he dies after the match concludes with his victory and his pride restored.
By seasons 8 and 9 the ratings were dropping and it was no longer NBC'S highest rated scripted series. The series theme song was titled "The Little House" and was written and conducted by David Rose. The ending theme music, also written by Rose, originally appeared as a piece of incidental music in a later-season episode of Michael Landon's previous long-running series, Bonanza.
The Wilders appear prominently in some episodes, while in others they appear only in early scenes used to introduce the story or its characters. The explanation given for the original characters' absence was that they moved to Burr Oak, Iowa, to pursue a promising life. The show lost viewers, because the Ingalls family (except Laura) left the series.
These original North American DVD sets included interviews with former cast members Alison Arngrim, Dabbs Greer and Dean Butler. Later copies of these original sets were distributed by Lionsgate Home Entertainment following their acquisition of Imavision, but these should not be confused with the Lionsgate re-releases described below. The DVD sets sold in the United Kingdom were released by Universal Playback (a Universal Studios Home Entertainment label); this version is in PAL color and coded for region 2. Unlike the original North American DVD sets, the UK version contains mostly uncut episodes. The son of actor Ted French, he gained recognition as an actor and stuntman in TV and film westerns like Gunsmoke and Bonanza.
