For nearly 10 years, Little House On The Prairie brought families together each week as they watched The Ingalls navigate life in the late 1880s. The beloved show first premiered on September 11, 1974 on the NBC network and went on until 1982. The show won multiple Emmy awards and made Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert household names.

Michael starred as the patriarch of the family, Charles Ingalls and Melissa was his free-spirited daughter, Laura Ingalls. Set on a small farm in Minnesota, each episode followed the family through hardships and triumphs during in the American West.

If you watched the television show, you probably remember laughing, smiling and even crying along with The Ingalls.
