Recently, the Sunday newspaper supplement magazine called "Parade" had a celebrity letter section called "Walter Scott's Personality Parade".
I am including a copy of a letter that was sent Mr. Scott and his response, because I think this might be of interest.
Read below:
quote:QUESTION: Is it true that "Little House on the Prairie" might be coming back to Television? -- Linda Palmer, La Quinta, Calif.
ANSWER: Yes! The producer of the original award-winning show, Ed Friendly, tells us that he intends to launch a six-hour "Little House..." miniseries on ABC next fall. HarperCollins will publish a special tie-in edition of Laura Ingalls Wilder's book Little House on the Prairie at the same time.

It just won't be the same without Michael Landon. I hope they at least bring back the remaining members of the cast and don't try to put all new people in it.

What do you mean??? They are remaking it. They better not.
Or rerunning the original series??? They already do play it on the Hallmark channel, but I never know when it is on, and I never catch the episodes in sequence, that's why I like watching them one at a time on DVD.
If they are remaking the show, I will scream. They will ruin it, there isn't anything that would get me to watch them try and recreate something that was perfect, they can't do it.

Here's the Hallmark Channel's schedule for the original "Little House on the Prairie":
Isis9968 is nearly at her breaking point when she wrote:

I'm afraid so. It *IS* a remake with an entirely new cast. Let's face it, Melissa Gilbert is obviously too old to play her previous part. And besides, she's probably too busy being the President of the Screen Actors Guild union, so she's got other things to worry about.
But I suppose even a remake is better than watching most of the other stuff on TV today! Right, Isis? Posted by Bionic Bigfoot (Member # 2490) on :
Watch them try to make it a comedy.

Re run the original, re air it, do not remake anything. They ruin it every time, I think I'll go throw up now. You can not remake a classic show, because the people are still around that remember it as it was, and love it that way, it stands the test of time, because when we watch them running around in the 1870's, in the 1970's, it worked then, so leave it be. I would rather stare at a blank wall then watch them ruin something, even if it is a remake of something I loved, it still gets tossed in to the garbage tv has become. Do another show set in the 1870's, with a different family. Try and come up with something nobody has seen before, if possible, that's what's wrong with tv.
