Laura Ingalls and the entire Ingalls family return to our hearts and
minds this fall as they make their debut on COZI TV, with the
announcement that Little House on the Prairie will launch on the
network in September. The popular western drama series, starring Melissa
Gilbert as Laura Ingalls and Michael Landon as her father, Charles
Ingalls, tells the story of a family living on a farm in Walnut Grove,
Minnesota during the 1870s and 1880s. The winner of four Emmy awards, Little House on the Prairie aired on NBC from 1974 to 1982. Adapted from Laura Ingalls Wilder's biographical best-selling Little House
books, the series introduces the central characters, Charles Ingalls
and his wife, Caroline, along with their four daughters, Mary, Laura,
Carrie and Grace. The series follows the family from Laura's childhood
through her adulthood and marriage to Almanzo Wilder, affectionately
referred to as Manny by Laura, with whom she later starts a family of
her own. Upon hearing of Laura's heart-warming story in the early 1970s,
NBC executive and television producer, Ed Friendly, asked Michael
Landon to direct the pilot movie that preceded the series. Landon agreed
as long as he could play Charles Ingalls and proceeded to direct 87 of
the 203 episodes that aired. The character of Charles Ingalls was later
ranked fourth in TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All
Time."
